They're all about politics, not Christianity. They're all about the kind of politics that produces and elects people like Trump. I don't think Jesus is in play, really, in any way at all.

Our hope lies in the many conservatives who are able to see the profound moral, religious, ethical conflicts. They have Gorsuch on the court now (which I'm afraid they will live to regret), and that was one big reason most of these gave for voting for Trump.
