info_outlineAs we continue commenting on the Big Think video, what became apparent to us is that Mr. Aslan desperately wants the reason why Donald Trump was elected to have nothing to do with Hillary Clinton. But, as we talk about in this episode, his election was much more about how bad of a candidate Hillary Clinton was than anything to do with Trump’s merits.
In fact, one could even say that Donald Trump’s best quality in this recent election was his ability to not be Hillary Clinton. The idea that most evangelicals voted for him for any other reason other than to stop Hillary Clinton just does not seem to be very plausible. Tim and I say as much in the podcast.
