from The Stephen Mansfield Podcast
This past July, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life reported the results of a survey regarding the American people’s trust of government institutions.

The 2020 Presidential election will probably be won within a percentage point or two, and that will raise questions from the public. And who will we turn to then?
