        Maybe, when your constituents are angry at Trump, it's not the best strategy to defend him as a divine instrument?

        But God has never used a man who said he never has asked for forgiveness. God punishes such a man, along with his people.

        I don't blame God. But when the GOP uses God to justify the Crazy known as Trump, I felt a proper rebuttal was due.
