“Do you believe in miracles? Remember those words by sports broadcaster Al Michaels when the underdog US Hockey team won the Olympic Gold in the 1980 Winter Olympics? History has branded that game ‘The Miracle on Ice.’ I believe a miracle, sent directly by God, is happening right in front of us, right now. You just have to open your eyes.

Root has served as the warmup act at multiple Trump rallies. At one of those rallies his encouraged the audience to fantasize about Hillary Clinton dying in a car crash “Thelma & Louise-style.”
