     “The worst part is we brought the horror we're about to experience on ourselves. We did this. And we did this because our culture is frivolous, selfish, self-interested, ignorant,
     venal, petty, and provincial.”

     “The Madison Square Garden rally, the increasingly unhinged speeches, the shocking vulgarity on full display—it was all there for everyone to see.

     And, more than 50% of Americans saw it and said that’s exactly what they wanted.

     I don’t have numbers yet, but I anticipate the white evangelical vote will be over 80%, white Catholic and mainline over 60%.”
