Daniel raises an important issue

Hi, Charles

I agree with you. The agreement today between Trump and Capitol Hill -- especially House leader Paul Ryan -- shows a candidate who does not stray far from other Republicans, and who is more than willing to compromise to get the job done.

While I don't agree with Daniel about Trump (and I may very well be wrong), he and others have brought to the fore an issue that has not seen the light of day for some time: That even the US electorate cannot be trusted at all times to make correct (In my book, that reads "Godly") decisions. Some day soon, perhaps in President Trump's successor, we may end up with a popular but evil demagogue for a leader. Those will truly be times that try men's souls.
