Trump/Clinton The Flawed Candidates.

I have just put the phone down to my brother-in-law in England. He and his friends stand speechless that Donald Trump could ever have been elected to the high office of president of the United States.
How could such a braggart, such a domineering, posturing demagogue, such a mysogynist ever be granted the keys to the White House by the American people?
Nor are such sentiments confined to my brother-in-law across in the U.K. There are a few people in Canada and, I may say, also in America who think the same way.
But let me remind both them and myself that this 2106 election was a straight choice between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton and BOTH candidates had major and glaring vices that could have disqualified them from the job.
No. The people in America did not vote for a parish priest. They voted for someone who they hoped would bring about REAL change and bought millions of "Make America Great Again" hats and Tee shirts to articulate their hope. 
In the Old Testament it was always debatable whether the real power belonged to the King or to the wise men who advised him.
Let us, for  the sake of argument, say it was a fifty-fifty deal.
If that be so take heart in the fact that Mike Pence, vice president and Priebus, the New Chief of staff, are good Christian men and others such as General Flynn, Jeff Sessions and Rudy Giuliani represent a sane and solid phalanx for the new cabinet.
Don't worry folks. Trump is in the White House but God is still on His Great White Throne.

Jubilate.
