"[] thought that because [Donald Trump] was a man without principle, nobody would vote for him. She was horrified by the white evangelical embrace of his candidacy because she knew that he had no deep convictions about religion... and considered going to church a photo-op."

"[W]eve already seen... that hes capable of... either acting badly or refusing to act in a way that would be appropriate to protecting the country, and the people in this country. So... as we go, and maybe the worse hes doing in the polls or the more threatened he feels, and the more stress hes under... There are going to be consequences to that, unfortunately.

"In my fathers case, tragically, he was not of use."
