Donald Trump for President? Will the the real estate tycoon/Apprentice

I think its wise to judge the the 16th president’s ideas in the context of their time.

Glaring omission! In yesterday’s post about about Big Hollywood’s Nick Nolte’s quest to name the 25 greatest Christian movies of all time, I offered my own nominees — but left out one of the finest (and most-obvious) examples. No list of movies with great Christian messages would be complete without the classic Frank Capra film It’s a Wonderful Life! So, I officially add it to my personal list of nominees: Jesus of Nazareth, Schindler’s List, Joe Versus the Volcano, Tender Mercies, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, The Bells of St. Mary’s, Doubt, Signs and Amazing Grace.
