To recap, the current president, his Supreme Court nominee, several Republican candidates for all levels of office, and many of his advisors have been variously accused of sexual assault, child abuse, adultery, theft, vanity, financial misdeeds, denying shelter and food to the needy, and excessive drinking.

Conservatives & Christians need to stop electing “nice guys”. They might make great Christian leaders but the US needs street fighters like @realDonaldTrump at every level of government b/c the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps & many Repub leaders are a bunch of wimps!
