Since religious language has again infected this unpredictable and turbulent political season, here is a verse that could describe the followers of Donald Trump. It is found in Paul’s second letter to his protege Timothy (or as Trump might call it, Two Timothy): “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.”
All politicians tell voters what they want to hear. It is one reason for the anger many voters feel for members of both political parties. These voters believe Washington has let them down, promising things it has not, or cannot, deliver in exchange for their support.
Trump makes grandiose promises and claims he never backs up with facts. …
… Trump may well win the Republican nomination and even the presidency. If he does, it will confirm that the transformation of American politics — from serious business, to another form of entertainment — is complete and the White House will become the biggest reality show of them all.
