In the wake of Donald Trump’s endorsement by evangelical leader and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., Republican rival Jeb Bush had some strong words for the real estate mogul and his faith, calling him a “flip-flopper."

"Trump views all this not from a position of his faith, he views it all as politics. I think faith goes way beyond politics,” he said to reporters following his campaign rally.

When asked by reporters if Bush thinks that Trump is a Christian, he said that he doesn’t.

“No, I don’t know what he is," he said. "I don’t think he has the kind of relationship he says he has if he can’t explain it any way that shows he is serious about it.”

While Bush admitted that Falwell’s endorsement was good for Trump, he questioned how it came to be.

“For a guy who has stated he has never sought forgiveness, it’s hard to imagine how someone who is a strong believer would embrace that idea. There may be other reasons that Mr Falwell is supporting him,” Bush said.

Bush delivered the commencement address at Liberty University in May and lamented that he hadn’t garnered the endorsement.

Earlier in the day, Bush slammed Trump for changing his abortion views.

With the Iowa caucuses less than a week away, Bush and other candidates, including Sen. Ted Cruz, are increasingly attempting to paint a picture of Trump that could harm his support with evangelical voters, a crucial Republican voting bloc.

A CNN/ORC poll this morning showed that Trump has 39 percent of the support among white evangelicals.

And he Jeb Bush, who is an illegal alien loving abortion advocate.
And his stupid ass brother, who was a Muslim loving, illegal alien loving abortion supporter.
And his dumbass father, who was an open advocate of The New World Order and an avowed globalist.

These are an example of what a "Christian" family is?

Jeb should shut his freakin mouth about what is, or is not, being an American Christian. He is just version 3.0 of a legacy of stupidity and Liberalism.

Ask me if I think Jeb is a 'Christian'. Does he think and behave like a 'Christian'? Does he live a 'Christ-like' life?

It is clear that he is much more of an 'internationalist' than he is an American. Is he more of a "whatever he is" than he is a 'Christian'? I don't know.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

The proper answer for public consumption might be, "It's not for me to say who is or isn't a Christian. That's between Mr. Trump and God."   :shrug:

Which it isn't.

Your way is more elegant though.  :tongue2:

I tend to agree with Bush, but at this point in time, his opinion is quite irrelevant.  He's too low in the polls.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
