Trump's Evangelicals: what they are thinking?

This New Yorker article has some interesting analysis which really concludes that they aren’t all that religious.

More of a white Christian ‘merika f@ck yeah! crowd.
Afraid of immigration and minorities.
They like the kick ass style - screw the libs style that Trump has. Not really that religious.

If we are thinking his followers will turn on him due to his immoral behavior - well it seems unlikely to happen until the very end.


On edit: You might want to compare it to your winning football coach: You’re annoyed that he’s overweight got caught doing drugs. sleeps around, yells at the kids professionally, but dammit he’s got your team on a winning streak and headed to the playoffs and you’ll put up with that.

Barr's Russian Beginnings Report

I thought AG Barr’s investigate the investigators report was eminent.
Then we hear about yelling in the White House.
Then no report.
I think Barr told Trump that just as he got the last problem covered up he went and made a new one with Ukraine. And now the Russian report is worthless.

Nixon first won the Republican presidential nomination in 1960 but lost that year's election to John F. Kennedy. The GOP nominated Nixon again in 1968, and the former vice president under Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Democratic Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to become president.

Emoluments: Just a constitutional suggestion?

The emoluments clause seems pretty clear. Is there no teeth behind this? No way to enforce it? If not then Emoluments clause is just a suggestion, right?
