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:

That’s a strange position to take, unless you are engaged in the bribery.
Hmmmm...that tiger you have chosen to ride with youseems to have a long history of corruption and shady dealings.

Really? And you don’t, right?
How about Ted Cruz, or who ever, your Saint of Choice is?
I would like to know if Trump fears God.
No worries though....if Trump was ever convicted, the authorities would have to try him as a juvenile based on his latest round of Twitter rants!
Okay. Fantasy land reasoning.
Let’s get him. Try him as an adult.
Will you be the DA?
Perhaps this will help with the terminology...
