"The Trump convention is trading on a long-standing religious tradition structured by a drama of salvation from a quite vividly conjured hellfire and damnation (Hillary Clinton, secular progressives, etc.), a healing of ones suffering and loss, scriptedin his caseby the highly emotional testimonial, the one-on-one story. I took Jesus as my savior; you take him too. Of course Trump, like Gantry, is a fraud."

...O'Neill's character got thrown a beating near the end of the movie. That wouldn't be a bad ending for this character.
