The most conservative guy with the best chance of winning was William F. Buckley’s standard.

It sounds like Jeffress and Falwell are following that guidance.

What a disgrace to his father who would never have endorsed Trump.

Like Joel Osteen, he has abandoned the faith of his father.

I know it’s a legal distinction, but Jerry Falwell Jr is allowed to endorse whomever he wants. The Head of Liberty University, speaking for the University, Jerry Falwell Jr, is not permitted to endorse without jeopardizing his donors tax deductibility.

There you go again.

Falwell said he could not endorse anyone AT the university. In other words, the university is not endorsing Trump. Falwell is personally.

And the $100,000 donation was not given to Falwell or the university.

It was given to a friend of Falwell’s.

Falwell said he had a friend that needed funding for something. Falwell called Trump and told him of the need. Later, the friend told Falwell that Trump had given him a check for $100,000.

When you distort and lie it is your credibility that suffers. Not the person you lie about.

We are electing a President and not a Pope. The reason Christians like him is he is the first politician who has not ignored or made fun of them in a while. He is spot on with the war on terror as is Cruz, but one takes on the press like nobody we have ever seen.

My guess is bringing a Mormon in to preach Social Justice is not helping with Christians. It is pretty insulting.

Pray America wakes

That’s not true, and if you listened to President’s Falwell introduction of Trump when he went there as a speaker, he said his father loved Trump and he thought that Trump was a lot like his father and the beliefs they all had...

Don’t lie, it makes your candidate look more stupid than he already is after having the ‘mess’ with Glen Beck the other night...

Obviously you didn’t watch Falwells speech at Liberty U May I suggest you do that before further comments and making further rediculous statement

Is Liberty University a not-for-profit?

If so, I'm wondering how long it'll be before the IRS yanks it from them at this point.

FR regularly purges conservatives. I was at the first FR rally to impeach Clinton, if that means anything to you.

You are behind the curve.

Latest from CNN: Trump leads all candidates with 41% support. 63% of Republicans think Trump is the most likely to win the nomination. Cruz is second at 19%.

The cascade is happening.
