It would have been nice to catch the different expressions in the audience as Donald Trump criticized Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney.
What were their reactions?
Did they laugh along with the joke?
Or did any of the good Christian people show empathy and support for Nancy Pelosi?
Did any of them see the cruelty and vengefulness in Mr Trump?
Or did they see someone that had been treated very badly by Mr Comey and the FBI ?
Did they see someone that divided people in a way that was not healthy for our society?
How would they describe the environment in the room when Mr Trump attacked Mitt Romney and the Speaker of the House?

There was nothing closely related to God on display at this breakfast and there hasn't been for a while

Those are the kind of people we need on the inside. Anonymous collaborators.
My gut says that the repubs learned a lesson from that incident and they probably closely inspect the potted plants and table arrangements looking for spy-cams nowadays. All we can do for now is assume the worst about them.

"How many of you love somebody with whom you disagree politically," asks David Brooks.
Almost all hands go up at National Prayer Breakfast.
Trump's stay down.

Trump doesnt have any political beliefs. The question wont register for a man with zero ideology behind anything he says.
He also doesnt understand the concept of, love... for anyone other than himself.

Im reasonably certain Trump doesnt love anyone other than himself, so Im not surprised by this at all.

Of course, he didn't use names, so he could have meant Falwell.
