The most interesting thing that happened at the prayer breakfast this morning?

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?

4. Why is this even called a prayer breakfast anymore?

I mean seriously.

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

5. Remember that caterer with the video camera that caught Romney's 47% speech

in 2012 that helped sink his campaign?

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.

@PhilipWegmann
"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.

I mean, Arthur Brooks formerly of AEI. Not David.

Trump doesn’t have any political beliefs. The question won’t register for a man with zero ideology behind anything he says.
He also doesn’t understand the concept of, “love”... for anyone other than himself.

I’m reasonably certain Trump doesn’t love anyone other than himself, so I’m not surprised by this at all.

"I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong,"

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