Evangelical Christians, at the moment, are totally enamored with a candidate who has profited off strip clubs, cheated on his wife, and appeared on the cover of the nation's pre-eminent porn magazine.
And to top it off, Jerry Falwell Jr.-the heir of the Moral Majority mantle-just endorsed him.

So far, Trump's top foes have largely steered clear of attacking him based on his sexcapades and scandals. Even while he and Rubio lob birther-esque attacks at Ted Cruz for being born in Canada, Trump has evaded any hard-hitting criticism for his multiple marriages, casino ownership, and appearance on the cover of Playboy magazine.
A series of tweets from Sen. Ben Sasse, a freshman Republican from Nebraska, may suggest that the days of giving Trump a pass over his New York-values personal life are over.
"You brag abt many affairs w/ married women," the senator tweeted on Jan. 24, addressing Trump. "Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?"
In The Art of the Deal, Trump boasted about bedding other men's wives.
"If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller," he wrote.

The words “sexy” and “Trump” next to each other make me throw up a little.
It’s hard to believe that conservative standard-bearer Daily Beast would publish a hit-piece on Trump.
Well, we don’t have to worry about a sexy past with Cruz.
That’s right - Baptists are not allowed to dance ... Looks too much like doing the wild thing!
A hit piece is when an article quotes anonymous sources. This quotes Trump in Art of the Deal and cites his casino ownership, multiple divorces, and even manages to leave out his participation in the diploma mill biz, shut down under pressure from the NY AG. Trump makes the average pol look like a Boy Scout. Good thing his opposition is likely to be Hillary - who's his match in the sleaze department. A real wild card would be Bloomberg jumping into the race. A fiscal conservative and social liberal squaring off against two uniparty sleazoids (although one sleazoid, Trump, has position papers on his website contradicting many of his past public utterances).
“You brag abt many affairs w/ married women,” the senator tweeted on Jan. 24, addressing Trump. “Have you repented? To harmed children & spouses? Do you think it matters?” - Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE)
I’ll give his office a call Monday morning. Ask him if he is w/o sin ... Otherwise, put the stone down, and STFU, Ben - please.
The implication we’re to take him at his word?
A Harvard Law grad has plenty of opportunities for dalliances. The thing is - unlike Trump - not everyone thinks with his little head. And most people understand the importance of keeping your word. Obviously Trump is not most people.
And people who point to Reagan are missing the point. Reagan walked in on Wyman and a paramour. Wyman filed for divorce.
Looks like Teddy has fallen and he can’t get up!
Or is it a picture from his sexy past?
Since Trump has been casting stones left and right, maybe you should call Trump.
Hey, even Trump has said his past is fair game - so who are you to say otherwise? Unless you are just another with a totalitarian bent, trying to silence all who oppose the Donald...
So sad that even when discussing something that is public record, Trumpkins think it should be off limits. Idolatry in any form is an ugly thing.
Trump definitely has the stones.
A series of tweets from Sen. Ben Sasse, a freshman Republican from Nebraska,,,, who is a Harvard and Oxford boy with a degree in Government, and who is a Bushie, and who has never held a job outside of government and academia. Sasse who never wore a uniform or even served in the field was appointed to be an advisor to DHS under Bush.(fixed it)
