How much you wanna to bet that all these "good
Christian" perpetrators are planning to vote for Trump?
But How Many Christian Right Are TRUE "Deplorables?"
If last week's Values Voters Summit - with Trump as the featured speaker - was
any indication as to how many uber-Christians are also alt-right and bigoted
