John Avlon : Christianity would have been far better off if Saul of Tarsus had stayed on his damn horse.

Avlon says no book has been used and abused for cheap political purposes more than Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Team of Rivals .

He says the book is a detailed examination of how Lincoln managed an executive branch made up of his erstwhile political opponents.

The proposed Trump Cabinet is bipartisan, but it is no Team of Rivals .

The Democrats of Lincoln ’s time were false to the Constitution , but they were formidable politicians.

The modern Republican party is the party of grifters, lunatics, and authoritarianism, as well as the modern party of secession, disunion, and bigotry.
