Finally, I think I understand why the evangelical base of the Republican Party is beginning to coalesce around presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Since Trump has promised to perform miracles, such as making West Virginia coal competitive with natural gas, and has said he never committed a sin for which he needed to ask forgiveness, it’s obvious that many in the Republican base view Trump as the second coming of Jesus.
