The American people need to be much in prayer for the 2016 elections. The conduct of the candidates is totally unacceptable. If we are still a free nation in four years, maybe grown, mature men and women will run instead of the obnoxious bullies and crybabies who are running in this election. It would be good to know how the candidates feel about bullying, but since some of them seem to be highly skilled at it, we probably already know the answer.

If this nation does not turn back to God, it will not be here much longer.
