Donald Trump: I have a great relationship with God and great poll numbers, too (VIDEO)

Today on CNN's State of the Nation, Jake Tapper revisited an old question with Donald Trump. He asked him about his faith and specifically about if he had ever asked forgiveness. By my count this is the third time that Trump has been asked the question.

At he Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa, back in June:

Trump, who told CNN earlier that he is both anti-abortion and anti-same-sex marriage, said people are surprised to learn about his Christian faith.

"People are so shocked when they find ... out I am Protestant. I am Presbyterian. And I go to church and I love God and I love my church," he said.

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 think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."

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 'let's go on and let's make it right.'"

As an aside, Trump has both supported partial birth abortion and just this weekend floated naming a pro-abort as his vice-presidential choice.

In an interview with Anderson Cooper in July:

Desperate.

You mean like trying to convince others who should know better, but don't, that Cruz isn't eligible to be president?

Sure we would have.

You think doesn’t allow a negative to hopefully get people’s attention?

You’re forgiven, but you’re also wrong again. The Gang of 8 DID NOT require touchback. It was discussed, but rejected by the Democrats as “too extreme”.

I also don’t think you’ll find anything saying that all of the non-criminals will be invited back - all that I heard was the very subjective term “the best ones”, which could be anywhere between 5 people and 10.8 million people - who knows. But they still come back ON OUR TERMS and if those terms are right, I don’t really have a problem, as we are going to be importing labor, whether we like it or not, as American high school graduates are great at Facebook, Video Games, living in Mom’s basement, but are simply not capable of framing, electrical work, plumbing, and just about every other manual skill (generally speaking - obviously there are plenty of good American electricians, it’s just that they’re in their 50s and 60s now...at least in Texas).

I’ll still take Trump’s plan...they need to be UPROOTED.

Tump is the only one who wants to deport the illegals and prevent them from coming back.

Oh my mixed up friend, are you in for the surprise of your life. Listen to the Dana Bash interview, trump not only wants them to come back, he wants to expedite them coming back!!

Don’t worry, his amnesty will be great, he says so.

Have you ever hear do touchback amnesty? How about money laundering? It's like that, but instead of washing money, it's washing illegals. They get booted out and it a expedited, no going to the back of the line, fashion, the come right back all clean, legal, and prepped/ready for their newly minted path to citizenship. ,p> The beauty of it for the Donald is that it lets him talk out of both sides of his mouth on it. For the hardliners - "We're going to round 'em up see! and were going to kick 'em all out! For the pro amnesty crowd - "Wink, Wink, don't worry, were going the let them right back in and bonus - they'll all be nice and legal.

The gang of 8 and Trump both exclude criminals. Other than trump requiring “touchback” basically same amnesty plan.
Trump will buy an airline so he can make money from the ridiculous touchback and then letting them back in.
But have no fear, it will be GREAT having all the newly legal people driving down wages and driving up welfare and deficits.

4. Cry
5. Ignore and go back to Trump worship.

Actually it still falls woefully short of understanding it. Sure, go and sin no more.

AFTER you confess and ask forgiveness for what you have already done.

A man can cheat on his wife and make a personal vow to try to do better.

But without repentance, that sin is still there

Provide source!

As I said watch, you will do anything but provide source for your claims because your claims are lies. Reconcile that with God, Mr. Log In Eye.

LOL.... how can anyone here say they haven't heard Trump talk about the wall with the huge pretty gate. And that they have to leave, and then they can come back legal. (the good ones)

Maybe they should go to straight to #5 and continue Trump Worship....

Lol, how many of the 11m are “good ones” meaning not criminals? Probably 10m or so.
So we have 10m newly legal people that the next step will be to make them citizens so they can vote for Trumps Democrat buddies for life.
Game, set match. Thanks Donald.

Funny, I provided instructions in post 108.

Afraid of what you might hear from the great man’s lips??

Look up the word expedite after you watch. ( I bet you watched it already, but like most Trump zombies, facts don’t matter when there is hero worshipping to be done )

Neither of you clowns have named a candidate WITH A BETTER PLAN...all you’re doing is attacking Trump.

But won’t work, we’re not going to vote for Bush, we’re staying with Trump!

And go to the back of line of those in line for work visas. Trump will deport all illegals including anchor babies and dreamers, Cruz will not. Cruz will only say he will enforce the law and deport those who have been convicted of criminal acts here in the US. Cruz will triple HB1 visas, Why because he says we need them here in America. Cruz will not deport anchor babies and dreamers or the vast majority of illegals here but Trump will deport them all. Yet you and others here pretend you are are against amnesty and want to deport all illegals....BULL! Your a bunch of pro-amnesty Rinos just like Cruz.

This is a source not a “search this blah blah”

Trump saying we must deport all illegals and then Jeff Sessions agreeing with Trump and how he helped Trump with his plan to deport all illegals.

Good support Cruz, this is America and we each should support who we want, but don’t keep up the BS you are in favor of deporting all illegals because you are not if you support Cruz.
