Sarah Sanders thinks God ‘wanted Donald Trump to become president’
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told the Christian Broadcasting Network that she believes Donald Trump’s election was desired by God.
“I think God calls all of us to fill different roles at different times,” she told the religious broadcaster, “and I think that he wanted Donald Trump to become president.”

This was not the first time the press secretary cited religion in defense of her boss.
Last summer, she claimed that the Trump administration’s child separation policy is “very biblical” when CNN’s Jim Acosta pressed her on whether the policy is in keeping with her religious mores.
Immediately after New York Times reporter Alan Rappeport tweeted about Sanders’ CBN comment, Twitter went into an uproar.
“So did God want @BarackObama to be president?” David Corn, co-author of Russian Roulette, an investigative book on Trump’s relationship with Russia, mused. “Or did he take off those eight years?”

Did he want the House Dems and @RepAOC to win in November? Or was he napping then?

President Donald Trump trails all of his Democratic rivals in hypothetical matchups of the 2020 presidential race, according to the result of a new poll released Tuesday.
This article originally appeared on Salon.
The survey, conducted by Emerson Polling, found that the president lags behind former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., by 10 points nationally — 45 percent to 55 percent. He also trails Sen. Elizabeth Warren by six points — 47 percent to 53 percent —and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg by four points — 48 percent to 52 percent.
Amid an overcrowded Democratic presidential candidate field, it's hard to distinguish yourself from the pack if you don't slot easily into the scale that runs from "pro-corporate centrist" to "left-populist." If you're former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke — who falls somewhere in the middle, politically, and somewhere towards the top, looks-wise — you pull a militaristic policy proposal out of your hat that recalls some of the most campy pseudo-fascist sci-fi ever written.
