"

I think he's a wonderful writer. And so I've read a lot of books of evangelicals and they sort of read the same, but Tim is so good at storytelling and narrative and involves himself in it.

It becomes a really interesting journey for him to get some revelations about why are the evangelicals doing what they're doing?

His confrontation as a reporter who covers politics and covers the rise of this political movement that has its roots all the way back to Reagan and beyond.

He had composed this note on the occasion of my father's death to express just how disappointed he was in me. I was part of an evil plot the man wrote to undermine God's ordained leader of the United States.

If I could use my journalism skills to investigate the deep state he wrote uncovering the shadowy cabal that was sabotaging Trump's presidency then I would be restored. He said he was praying for me.

And because he's not a Christian, he's not beholden to Christian values.

And they have turned to someone like Donald Trump to do the dirty work for them.

At one end were the Christians who maintained their dignity while voting for Trump.

People who were clear-eyed in understanding that backing a candidate pragmatically and prudentially, need not lead to unconditionally promoting, empowering, and apologizing for that candidate.

At the opposite end were the Christians who are jettison their credibility.
