Nope. We shall unite next autumn, most of us at least, at the chilling prospect of Pres. Hillary R. Clinton. Relax.

Why? The ones I know are either Trump or Cruz fans. None like Jebbie or Rubio.

Because our leader doesn’t wear a suit. We follow him and vote for people who represent us rather than trying to lead us.

Which is also the most Constitutional way of thinking.

We already know who is the father of lies ...

I guess that means the Washington compost is in bed with the devil.

Evangelical voters...are not easily led by their leaders.

Umm, wouldn't that make them not leaders?

Evangelicals don't have “leaders.”
They have teachers, and they have the Bible.

Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

The author of the hit piece doesn't understand much about evangelicals.
