Southern Baptist Convention Minister, Dr. James F. Linzey endorsed Donald J. Trump for president of the United States when speaking to a group of Evangelicals on Sunday, February 13, 2016 in Escondido, California, to make America great again. Linzey said, "Republican Candidate Donald Trump is an intrepid Conservative who unapologetically articulates and accentuates the pulse of most Americans. His campaign is not funded by special interest groups. This means he is not beholden to them, and will have the freedom to build congressional support on both sides of the aisle and promote the values that millions embrace by implementing policies to make America great again. I endorse Donald J. Trump for president of the United States." Linzey is an Evangelist, US Army chaplain and veteran of nearly 24 years, chief editor of several Bible translations, and founder of the Military Bible Association.
Linzey believes that when Mr. Trump speaks, he hits all the major issues forthrightly and honestly. Being a Conservative means being honest with everyone about everyone. Honesty cuts across all party lines, offending those in any camp who are dishonest on the issues at hand.
But when Mr. Trump said at the South Carolina GOP Debate that former president George W. Bush lied about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, he said this because honesty is no respecter of persons and former President Bush did not admit there were no weapons of mass destruction until asked at a press conference. George W. Bush explained at the White House press conference on August 21, 2006 why we went to Iraq. He said, "The main reason we went into Iraq at the time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. It turns out he didn't."

Ted’s country...
LOL
Who did he endorse in previous elections?
Rev. Jeffress, also SBC I think, endorsed Trump a couple months ago. I’m glad the evangelicals in the south are using their brains!
Thanx BFAC - one more “lefty” for Trump/s LOL
But, wait. I thought Jesus wanted Ted to be the President?
How many ministers are there in the United States?
Obviously this pastor is NOT Christian ENOUGH, or his an ‘inbred’ Trump-bot, or a ‘mouth breather’ or been ‘fooled’ or ____________ (insert favorite slurs by Cruz-bots here).
How many came out for Ted today?
How can this be?
The Cruz’s supporters that left this site are saying Trump is the anti-Christ on their new site.
Thank you for the ping...good afternoon Captain....and GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
The ones in SC are the ones that matter right now.
One out of what? Ten thousand?
I eagerly await a Cruz supporter digging up a Salon article about the SPLC calling the guy a racist and then spamming the submission 5 times per day until November.
Did the Duggars endorse Ted yet?
I’ve said several times that southern evangelicals are not into Elmer Gantry routines. I believe that will be proven out in convincing fashion starting with SC.
The south is heavily Baptist. I have no idea if this guy has a big following, but since Cruz is the self-proclaimed best Christian running, it’s a feather in Trump’s cap.
sorry, I don’t get the reference (not who they are, but why they’re important.
I’ll bet you that Cruz has 50 Baptist pastor endorsements for every one that Trump has.
