Indeed. He may very well may have been. His speeches are inspirational.

Drumpf is at the bottom of the barrel.

For the life of me, I cannot understand how or why evangelicals support Trump.

Being a non-believer myself, I may not be the best person to judge, but I have not seen Trump exhibit any qualities that I identify as Christian.

that so many evangelicals support this monster. Trump is no more religious than I am.

But then, I've never heard anything Jerry Fallwell said that I remotely agreed with.

you'd need to beat him with dimensional lumber to get any sense to stick.
