| 0:00.0 | Do you think it is impossible to be a Christian and support President Trump? |
| 0:04.2 | Well, I'm not going to tell other Christians how to be Christians, |
| 0:07.6 | but I will say I cannot find any compatibility between the way this President |
| 0:14.3 | conducts himself and anything that I find in scripture. |
| 0:16.9 | Now, I guess that's my interpretation, but I think that's a lot of people's interpretation. |
| 0:23.2 | Donald Trump's worst nightmare is a candidate that will bring people in from the middle. |
| 0:29.4 | The people that are tired of the noise and the nonsense, and they are tired of the tweets and the |
