The Washington Post is beside itself: “Nearly a third of Republicans don’t know that Trump lost the popular vote.” How about that? There are all sorts of irrelevant things that Republicans — and voters in general — do not know.

On November 8, America came within a hairsbreadth of electing as its president a serious persecutor of the church. And Christian citizens still have plenty to worry about.

The Unpopular Truth About The Popular Vote Have you heard the news that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote?
