On Trump's befuddling hold on the GOP and the fizzling of the 'Never Trump' movement

I'm so old that I can remember when moderate Republicans such Colin Powell, former secretary of state, clung to hopes that Donald Trump might "grow" into the presidency.

On Trump's befuddling hold on the GOP and the fizzling of the 'Never Trump' movement

I don't hear much talk like that nowadays, with Trump leading the polls for the Republican nomination again and his remaining opponent, Nikki Haley, not expected to win even the primary this coming Saturday in her home state of South Carolina.

Here we go again. Ever since Trump surged into the lead in the 2016 primaries, his iron grip has grown tighter around the GOP, pushing it further to the right, even as it also has led to Democratic victories in congressional swing districts.

Latest case in point: Tom Suozzi easily wrested New York's 3rd District from the GOP in a special election last Tuesday to replace scandalized Republican congressman George Santos.

Still, as much as supporters of moderate alternatives to Trump have rallied to Haley's side and continue to donate to her campaign, Trump has maintained a polling lead so formidable that the race to the nomination appears to be all over except for the actual voting. In South Carolina, Trump had a 36-point lead over Haley in a recent poll.

Pray for a Grieving Family

A friend in my hometown was once really going through a difficult time in her life. She had lost her son because he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting and died. Then, on the day of her son's repast, his four-year-old son, her grandson, was hit by a truck and died. This mother, these grandparents, these relatives, this family, had been shaken to the core. I'm sure their faith was shattered; their hearts were beyond broken, and their trust in God was on the brink. What can we do as humans to make them feel less pain and better? How do we minister to them? What should we do? What should we say? When and how shall we say it?
