I can never hear or read those quotes by Churchill without getting goosebumps. Sometimes they bring tears to my eyes. He was the right man at the right place at the right time. President Trump is no Churchill but I pray he can stand in the breach and rouse a nation the way Winston once did.
Churchill was the right man at the right time, just like Trump saved us from Hillary.
