I don’t make my decisions dependent on the recommendations of Russell Moore

He has his own vagaries to deal with.

supporting someone who:
donated to every abortion candidate
every gay rights candidate
every muslim immigration supporter brags of his sexual exploits
shows off his nude posting wife who also posed for lesbian soft porn
against tea party candidates
said republicans are stoopid
...
the only Christian who would say that guy is a better choice than Ted Cruz is the guy who was sleeping with is own mother in ONE Corinthians....
.
Falwell just showed his complete lack of Biblical discernment concerning right and wrong, and who should be endorsed.

"Alfred" could run a smarter campaign than Rafael "GlennBeck" Cruz.

So Trump makes fun of Cruz for his Glenn Beck endorsement because Beck kinda nutty. Yet Trump doesn’t hesitate to tout his endorsements from nut cases like Sarah Palin and Falwell. Hmmm.

“Prove otherwise.”

You are the one making the accusation. It is up to you to back up your statement.

Reagan was a multiple married, Hollywood, former democrat, union leader from California. Lot’s of people questioned his credentials. But he won.

That was true when Reagan ran for GOVERNOR OF CA, but by the time he campaigned for the office of President, he had a record of many years of CONSERVATIVE governance. He had delivered a keynote speech for Barry Goldwater SIXTEEN YEARS earlier in which he articulated the conservative arguments against socialism. There is no comparison between Reagan's established conservative record when he ran and Trumps complete lack of demonstration of ANY conservative principles. Another HUGE difference between Reagan and Trump: Reagan NEVER savaged those who disagreed with him - not even his most vitriolic and bitter opponents like Tip O'Neil or Ted Kennedy. When he pointed out their disagreements and said they were wrong, he did it in a way that disarmed them and even left them laughing on many occasions. Complete class vs utter crassness.

You should watch Falwell’s introduction on Donald Trump at Liberty U, before making such assertions.

Doesn’t matter in a campaign. They pull up anything you ever said no matter if your views have changed or not.

Honestly, if Reagan were running today, would we be hearing the nitty gritty of his divorce or not?

I never did like Levin. Had his number years ago. Just another establishment brick in the wall.

And I was proven 100% correct! I like that.

For those who didn’t see it, here a link to Falwell on Hannity a few nights ago detailing some of Trump’s personal acts of charity that are largely unknown to the public:

Based on polling showing Cruz ahead in head to head match ups against Clinton, yeah I’ll believe your opinion over polling!

It is definitely a toss up, isn’t it?

But Trump’s lead among Republicans is not toss up. If Cruz cannot beat Trump, then he cannot beat Clinton. The same with Rubio, Bush, et al.

You’ve got to win the primary to get to the general.

There is a good reason the Bengals are not going to the super bowl to play the Panthers, and for all we know they could beat the Panthers.

They didn’t win their playoff game with the Steelers.

There can be only one.
