Donald Trump said Saturday that "I am not sure that I have" ever asked God for forgiveness, telling the 2015 Iowa Family Leadership Summit that "I just go on and try to do a better job from there.
"I don't think so," Trump, who is Presbyterian, said in response to the question from pollster and summit host Frank Luntz. Trump was among 10 Republican presidential candidates at the daylong event in Ames, Iowa.

The Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom,
So you want a repeat?
Luntz was functioning as a GOP-Establishment ring master with Ted Cruz. Luntz was despicable.
His questions to Cruz was typical of a RINO trying to get Cruz to admit he has failed - including the attempt to “shut down” the govt and his opposition to Obamatollah’s CommieCare.
Cruz was quick to point out his efforts galvanized the base and led to a historical victory in the 2014 elections.
Luntz is a dope and a biased pollster.
Aren’t you desperate? You are trying to shill a liberal to us? You haven’t provided a shred of evidence he has any conservative positions. So why are you foist in an untrustworthy liberal on us?
My candidate, I would be happy with either Walker or Cruz.
Desperate? These are the facts of Donald Trump’s life. He has religiously used eminent domain to build his entire empire. It seems you know far more less about him than you think. Take 10 minutes and look into Donald’s past and learn more about the man. If the people would have taken that 10 minutes to research Obama, we wouldn’t have been stuck with him for 8 years.
Says the guy who has been compulsively chasing after Trump from thread to thread. You’ve got Trump derangement syndrome.
Do you have any proof that Mr. NO talked about religion or went to church BEFORE he was trying to appeal to "those Christian rubes in the hinterlands?" Because I never heard or saw that he was Christian. Certainly not in any serious way.
I just tell the truth about him.The question is why do you support a candidate w b I supports amnesty.
I do have to ask....what has McCain accomplished?
beat me to it.......DANG IT!
I just hope that some of what he has said has been heard by those with earbuds in use.
The Luntz Focus Groups are worse than all show...they are misleading. A focus group lasts just a short while. A campaign lasts a long time. Conservatism takes longer to understand than it takes liberalism to emote...therefore using focus groups is one of the real reasons that Republicans have shied away from conservatism. Conservatism is not understood in the construct of a two hour focus group.
There’s no way a 2 hour focus group can measure the impact of a message over the time of a campaign....and yet, that’s exactly what Luntz and Rove would have you believe.
It is quite possible that Trump perceived a trick question here and knew the next question would be “What did you ask forgiveness for?” so he side stepped it. (Notice how he meandered all over the place before he answered.) If that is not the case, at least he did not tell everyone what they want to hear and at least he acknowledged he does wrong and takes action to correct it. Some people ask for forgiveness over and over and make no effort to change at all.
What does that sentence even mean? You support amnesty?
Trump supports amnesty. He admits he thinks illegals should stay.
What a stupid asinine question
Anybody ever here a similar question in all their years of following politics
Trump should have told the creep to get real instead of this charade of trying to find GOTCHA episodes
When did he say this, and how many years ago are you talking about?
Look at it this way: We’ve nominated as many candidates for President as the RINO establishment has elected them in the general in the past two cycles.
He said it two weeks ago. I can’t post a link tonight but I could tomorrow.
You’re going to have to post it, since, otherwise, no one else on planet Earth is aware of it besides you— and you seem quite deranged in general about this topic.
