"The 1928 Republican Convention opened with a prayer. If the Lord can see His way clear to bless the Republican Party the way it's been carrying on, then the rest of us ought to get it without even asking"

Will Rogers' quote is a humorous take on the 1928 Republican Convention, which opened with a prayer. He indicates that the Republican Party has been acting in a manner that would require magnificent intervention for it to be blessed. He suggests that if the Lord can see His method clear to bless the Republican Party, then the rest of us ought to not even need to ask for it. This quote is a humorous way of expressing the concept that the Republican Party has actually been acting in a manner that is not always deserving of true blessings. It is a reminder that even if we are not deserving of blessings, we can still get them if the Lord sees fit.
