How Sarah Huckabee Sanders sees the world

This is the world as seen through the eyes of White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders:
As a girl, she watched her father, Southern Baptist pastor-turned-GOP-governor Mike Huckabee, sidelined when he entered politics. Arkansas Democrats literally nailed his office door shut.
In the years after, she saw conservative Christians — like her family, like most everyone she knew — ridiculed in American pop culture.
As a young woman, she moved to Washington for a government job, and noticed right away, she says, that people in the nation’s capital care more about your job than who you are. “Certainly not like where I’m from,” she says.

Sanders described this perpetual interloper experience from her other world: an elegant, well-appointed office at the White House, where reporters from places such as the New York Times and CNN metaphorically prostrate themselves at her door day in and out, and from where she can receive guidance on the phone every day from her father, long a political darling of conservative Christians, a TV celebrity now worth millions. As the public face of the U.S. president, Sanders is a fitting symbol for her fellow religious conservatives, who are both insider and outsider, powerful and powerless. Religious conservatives “aren’t outsiders in this White House, but generally speaking, they are,” the 35-year-old said recently in an interview in her West Wing office.

Sanders’s podium persona is all business, even a bit short at times. She so often says she doesn’t know the answer to a question or will have to get back to the questioner that it has become a critics’ meme. “Saturday Night Live” featured a spoof of her on its season opener the weekend before last, with faux Sanders telling President Trump that her success lies in the fact that “I’m no-nonsense, but I’m all nonsense.”

This christian talk is sickening, what a dreadful family, someone should ask her if her brothers still torture and kill dogs, and does her dad still tout his connections with the sexual predators of the Duggar family.
Good christians - that if I may say is a load of codswallop.

4. A singularly unattractive person in every way

including her physical appearance. As a female myself I regret saying this but nonetheless I think it every time I am forced to endure the sight of her. It is enough to make one blind, or wish to be! It seems to be common thruout individuals in the Moron admin that exteriors match the interiors in ugliness. Or maybe that is just me!

5. ...."you (Sanders) are defending Gods chosen leader for this time, he said of Trumps defenders"..

I had not looked at Sanders in this light before. I think Kaylor is right.



.....Although some say the Trump-evangelical alliance harms Christianity, it’s common to hear other conservative Christians say that Trump’s unexpected win — down to the electoral college — shows that God had a more-deliberate-than-usual hand, and has put Trump there for some reason.

Brian Kaylor, a Baptist pastor with a PhD in political communications who has written several books about religion and politics, thinks Sanders holds this view of a divine plan and it gives her confidence at the podium.

“When you have to stand up there and defend whatever he’s done, it’s more than you are defending a politician, or even a president; you are defending God’s chosen leader for this time,” he said of Trump’s defenders.

Sanders doesn’t talk about God publicly often — not nearly as much as Trump does these days. People who worked with her on campaigns say she’d say a pre-event prayer but otherwise was focused on things such as voter strategy. Her faith life mirrors younger evangelicals with their move away from denominations.......................

According to these frauds, Jeebus never met him a Democrat that He could vouch for.

11. The key word, in my view, is "persecuted".

Many believers do feel, or claim to feel, as if they are being persecuted. So they see this a s a battle against intolerance, with Trump as the chosen instrument. They excuse Trump's demonstrated unfitness in hopes that he will allow them to be victorious.
