‘This will be an election that will go down in the history books for the evangelicals, for the Christians, for everybody of religion," said Donald Trump last week. “This will be maybe the most important election the country has ever had.”

Trump was speaking to a gathering of evangelicals in Florida, and supplicating his audience not just to vote for him but to “go out and spread the word" because becoming president ‘‘may be the only way I’m going to get into heaven."

The Donald, it seems, needs a little divine intervention. The polls have been moving against him for a few weeks now; the latest show Hillary Clinton beating him by at least five percentage points. The so-called “Trump meltdown" may be something of a media fantasy for biased journalists. There is no denying, however, that, as November 8 (election day) approaches, the Trump Train is running out of steam.
