"I wouldn't mind if he died before my 86th birthday"

The sun is low in the cool autumn afternoon. I've nearly finished the walklist

I knock the door and step off the porch

Eyes peer through front room miniblinds: Who is it?

I'm a volunteer for the Democrats

The door opens

Can I offer you a list of Democrats on the ballot this November?

The storm door opens. I hand her the list and try a soundbite

But she's 85 and doesn't need me to talk. She's with us and she'll vote

To be honest (she says) I wouldn't mind if he died before my 86th birthday. I know that's ugly but there you go

I tell her I know how she feels

Some evangelicals want Trump elected so God can kill him for them

There are many political Christians who are not Christians of faith.
