"When I drink my little wine have my little cracker I guess that's a form of asking for forgiveness"

Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.

"I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so, he said. ... I don't bring God into that picture."

Trump said that while he hasn't asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.

"When I drink my little wine - which is about the only wine I drink - and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed," he said. "I think in terms of 'lets go on and let's make it right.'"

[right way right]

Is Donald Trump the one to help protect our religious liberties?
This statement does not build any confidence in my opinion.
Actually, it is the stupidest thing by far he has said since he announced.

"Link to the unedited video?" A link to an article is usually sufficient. Are we changing the standards for Trump?

Maybe Fox News made it up./S

Trump also said it would be fine if she posed for Playboy.

His Brother died an alcoholic.I read his book the” Art of The Deal”,very inspiring.I'm surprised he answered the question.He shot the other girl on MSNBC down and said none of your business on the gun issue.His best interview to date.As a Catholic I respect what he is saying about his closeness to God.

Didn’t need the Lecture but thanks for the Link.

You brought it up, not me.

Seriously I am more worried about people of faith looking to a man with little or no faith to bring this country around.

If you were approached on the street out of nowhere and asked the same question whay would your answer be?

I think your answer would be very much like mine and nothing like his.

"21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS."
Matthew 7:22-23

Well, when I typed that it was in my head in English. :)

“Trump just locked up the Catholic vote.”

He’s a Presbyterian.

And you’re an ...

[CatherineofAragon]

You’re welcome.

But you asked for the unedited video.

[usconservative]

He takes his whole family and yet some of the total whacko birds on FR want to denigrate him as not being a Christian.

Senator McCain, is that you?!

[usconservative]

If you have been going to church your whole life there is no reason for anyone to say you are not a Christian.

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. However there's always the exception to the rule, and his name is Barack Hussein Obama.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I will go with you on that one. :-)

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think my answer to Frank Luntz would have been “Frank that’s between me and God”.

Just read the Transcript you sent.

Couldn’t find the Video, but Trump was obviously Joking around and the nearly all Woman Audience laughed when he said it. You know, the NYC Liberals who Pee their Pants being able to attend the Liberal Lovefest that is The View.

After the Interview a Hyena like Journalist tried to make hay about the Comment and Trump shot him down.

Non event IMHO.

Now, did you hear about Bernie Sanders writing that Women “fantasize about being Raped”? The Headlines are all over the place you know, NOT.

[CatherineofAragon]

Yes, I figured someone would find a way to excuse it away and justify it.

[stanne]

Hmmm

That’s weird. First I gotta say, for a poster on a forum which does not allow personal attacks, you’re skirting the rules like an out of control Pope

I am a literature instructor, raised by a former Marine officer who was schooled in the classics in high school and at the military academy. He was always sure to get us to ‘the flicks’ and to our classical education, from where I learned Homer, Thos Aquinas , Sid Caesar, the Marx Brothers and Clint Eastwood, well, Dirty Harry, whose sense of humor I like to share by showing the scene where he’s in the diner where the surrounded- by- bad guys waitress pours a cup of sugar into his coffe to get his attention

Cracks me up every time

As does jack Bauer when he says he’s ‘gonna need a hacksaw’, as does Vinnie Gambini whistling Dixie in the back of the Alabama penitentiary shuttle, or when Oh I could go on. You got me reminiscing

Oh, when ... No oh ok, when Vinnie Antonelli slips away from Rick moranis’ FBI agent so he can finally just get some decent food. Or when our other Vince - Papale intercepts the ball during the last seconds of the Eagles-Giants match up, delivering it to the end zone

Well, there’s nothing like a glued-to -the-screen lot of ninth graders watching Marlon Brando reciting Marcy Antony’s soliloquy to the Romans after they’ve killed Caesar (not SID Caesar, as you might wonder) or Liz Taylor’s Katherine succumbing to Burton’s Petricchio after they’ve read the story in its original form (my history dept chair-colleague and friend gets so pissed when she sees it, it’s a mystery as she knows ‘everyone hates Shakespeare’

So pleased we are to see Hollywood and TV getting to classic Greek and roman literature by producing the Avengers, guardians (a must see- esp with Chris Pratt), the Flash, Agents of Shield, batman - though Ben at fleck , hmm we don’t know about that

What were you saying?

[MHGinTN]

Way to go! In one sentence you not only display your ignorance but insult an entire religious troop.

[stanne]

Too sensitive? I take issue with people who are not catholic and who don’t get informed making fun of Catholics

Gang up on girls much?

If you have been going to church your whole life there is no reason for anyone to say you are not a Christian.

Under normal circumstances, I'd agree with you. However there's always the exception to the rule, and his name is Barack Hussein Obama. 170

He hasn't really been going regularly his whole life and much of what he's been attending is barely recognizable as "church"...think Rev. Wright.

[Kickass Conservative]

Yes, that is my purpose in Life.

I’m a Cruz guy, so I spend all my time going after the Trump Haters. I told you my Opinion and presented the Facts as I saw them.

There is nothing to excuse away. Thin Skins are rampant here. Do you think that Trump will Promote Incestuous Marriage as the Supreme Court just did with Obama’s Blessing?

The Tenth Amendment was eviscerated using the Gay Marriage issue and the damage done to States Rights is now the Law of the Land.

Polygamy as well is on the Horizon but is appears Trump Marries only one Woman at a time, just like a whole Bunch of Conservative FReepers admit to BTW.

You think I condone what he said and I think he was just kidding around and playing to the Audience. In order to Justify and excuse something, there has to be something to Justify and excuse. In this case, there isn’t IMHO.

The Straw Man has left the Building. Save your Outrage for the Democrats and RINO’s that Trump is attacking, unlike the rest of our so called Representatives.

[stanne]

I didn’t demand anything other than for you to stop insulting Catholics. Tgats fair game. It certainly fair game if catholic bashing is.

There’s freedom of speech. You can continue to say whatever obnoxious thing that comes into your mind

And likewise, I can say it’s insulting

That’s what freedom of speech is

Liberals like to say freedom of speech is the ability to speak an opinion without anyone expressing that they’re insulted by it

That’s a totalitarian notion

You’re not a totalitarian, are you?
