Trump to Iowa evangelicals: I’m not sure I’ve ever asked God for forgiveness

Interesting exchange and pretty telling. I actually understand what he was saying about his faith. I also understand his statement on McCain. Trump could have fed them the standard line, instead he spoke the truth. While this doesn't guarantee my vote, his candor is pretty refreshing in the political arena.

    Trump may have had a leg up in life with a wealthy father, and a great education. His Father may have been worth 300 million when he died, and he may have left that to Donald.

    BUT....Donald took whatever it was he was left by his father that and turned it into BILLIONS.

    Ayn Rand said it:"Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver."

    As far as I am concerned I would like to see him driving this country based on the past 40 years of his business track record.

    I agree. Trump will not get my vote, but....If getting shot down and getting captured makes one a hero, then there are thousands of them. I thought a hero had to do something heroic. Silly me. In Arizona they renamed a peak in honor of the death of the first female soldier. Nobody seemed to care that she was the driver of a jeep, who did not follow her GPS, turned into the enemy instead of going home, and got everyone in the jeep killed. They treated her death as a heroic death. To me the death was stupidity, not heroic. With McCain, he is a survivor, not a hero. Besides, the Vietnam War is one of many we should never have been in. McCain has never held a real job, he has always worked for the government in one form or another.

    The Christian Right is as much responsible for the state of the US today as the Socialist left. Republicans will never win another presidential election as long as they allow the CR to dictate their candidates and views. Perhaps this is a start.

    I love his attacks on the PC box he's expected to respect! -- j

    It made a lot of sense to me. He seemed to be honestly stumped at the beginning. He apparently doesn't think in terms of forgiveness, but in forging ahead and fixing his mistakes.

    That certainly explains why when blundering about McCain he has simply forged ahead not apologizing and emphasizing the terrible care the veterans are getting.

    And he has a point -- lots of people came back with serious damage, missing limbs, and are waiting months for VA care.

    Refreshing for sure... I LOVE all the scrambling he's causing. Someone with some balls who speaks his mind unfiltered, no p.c., and unapologetic. They can't handle it! lol I laughed out loud today when he gave out Lindsay Graham's cell phone number...omg.
