I expect Trump's support among Evangelical Christians to drop noticably in the coming days.

Every fire breathing tent revival style Evangelical Preacher I EVER met would become INCREDIBLY PISSED OFF if ANYBODY removed a crying baby while they were preaching.

If you cannot preach above a crying baby, you do not deserve the title "preacher".

Republican voters first. Even if Cheeto tells them to beat up the poor and minorities they will still vote for Cheeto. I just don't see them backing away from Cheeto.

It's not as if the Evangelical Christians would have a problem with the nude photographs of Mr. Trump's wife. That wouldn't bother them. But removing a crying baby is a step too far!

Of course, Donald Trump is not a particularly good public speaker, certainly not like many preachers are. His thoughts and ideas are scattershot and lack coherence. His syntax and grammar are from the same intellectual wasteland that Sarah Palin inhabits. He doesn't have structure within his speeches. And his ad libbing weakens any points that he tries to make.
