Former Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay appeared on WorldNetDaily to promote his new book, Revival! Revolution! Rebirth!, where he proclaimed that God has delivered a clean slate of a man in Donald Trump that will allow the religious right to enact the laws they wish to use to reshape America.
Clean slate sounds awfully similar to empty suit, doesnt it?
Now that Trump is elected, Im very excited about it because I see now what God is doing, he said. First of all, He stopped the left in its tracks and He stopped Hillary Clinton, and put a man in place that was a strong leader, which the country was begging for, and it didnt matter what his policies were. People wanted a huge change in the direction of the federal government.
I think I see what Gods intentions were. Heres a man that basically is a clean slate and we, being Christian constitutionalist conservatives, have an opportunity to fill in that slate, DeLay continued, commending his cabinet choices so far.
We, being strong Christians conservatives, are going to have an opportunity to really turn this country around in a bold way, he concluded.

Still, the presidency is limited in powers. It is not godlike. The President cannot remake the US alone. The majority voted for Hillary. The majority are not fundamentalist wing nuts, and no President can make then into that.
