Darrell Scott, the pastor of the New Spirit Revival Center in Ohio, helped organize the coalition of religious leaders and said that after meeting Mr. Trump in person he was convinced that Mr. Trump was the candidate best suited to be president. He also said that the public portrayals of Mr. Trump as a racist and demagogue seemed unfounded after they spoke.
"I was looking for some subtle hints of racism," Mr. Scott said. "I didn't see it at all."
Mr. Scott, who said he was a registered Democrat who had voted for President Obama, said that he had been impressed by Mr. Trump as a leader and that he liked his ideas for improving the economy. He said that when he closed his eyes and listened to all the candidates, he found Mr. Trump to be the most appealing.
Mr. Trump has struggled to connect with some social conservatives because of his flashy lifestyle and the fact that he has held liberal views on some issues. But Mr. Scott said that he found Mr. Trump to be humble before God when they prayed together and that he had confidence in his faith.

As a developer of projects in the 5 - 28 million range over 40 years, And as a person who absolutely despises the Democratic Party, I can tell you that if you want to get your project approved and built as opposed to going broke, you WILL donate to both parties.
What favors did the Clintons give him?? For his "donations"?
This get along to go along....crap isn't the way it should be.
So...basically you are saying Trump gave money or bribes..to get along.
Great..."The cost of doing business" is---Bribes, money..and back alley pay-offs.. And you are good with that.
I know...many successful and wealthy people..running companies..that don't give a dime to any politician's.
Fair enough?
I am eating almost as many carbs as before, but my weight is going down, my blood glucose is going down, my blood pressure is going down and my energy level is going up!
The only change I have made is in when to eat during the day.
You must have had a different experience........
So be it.
Trump did not give money to Clintons to gain favors. He gave it so they would not harm his business interests. If you can understand the difference.
LOL!!
If you are not in the Billion dollar business class, your experience is not comparable to Trump’s.
Still don't trust him
You hit the nail squarely on the head! Your explanation is what the anti-Trump folks are trying so desperately to confuse low interest/under informed voters with.
This tactic has ruined many conservative campaigns.
Truth doesn’t matter as long as they can misconstrue the candidates real intentions.
Have eaten it that way for years. Since wheat messes up my intestines. Highly recommend it.
One can only imagine the number of palms he had to grease to get control of that property...
Is that not the definition of extortion? And is that not a crime?
There's a difference?
I don't see it...
Oh....that’s mature.
I don't trust him.
He has given thousands of $$ to Dims.
He's been friendly with the Clintons.
I am very wary....
how in the world do you do construction in ny, especially
manhattan, without giving "thousands of $$ to Dims"?
That's cool. Everybody has their own tastes. Just don't be shocked when Hitlery wins, and we come thanking you.
If these things bother you, then I suggest you look at who is donating to the other candidates. Does Goldman Sachs ring a bell? How about Berkshire? (Warren Buffett). At least Trump isn’t owned by any of these groups. It seems your puritanical test is misplaced.
The election is a long time away...
Hell...I didn't trust Romney but I voted for the RAT BASTARD.
I don't trust Trump to lead this country...period.
That doesn't make me anything..but not trusting of Trump.
Period.
I dunno....do you?
