    Pat Robertson declared, immediately after T rump betrayed the Kurds, that T rump was in danger of “losing the mandate of Heaven”.  (Strange considering “the mandate of Heaven” is an ancient Chinese idea).   But, anyway, the evangelicals as a whole, seem to be giving T rump the “okay” for his betrayal of the Kurds, since they want T rump to keep the “mandate of Heaven”.

    I think what the evangelicals want is screwed, because “the mandate of Heaven” is a supernatural concept.  As such the evangelicals don’t get to choose if it comes or goes.  That is up to Heaven.  Heaven may want to give its mandate over to Mike Pence.
