Donald Trump took his Republican presidential campaign to Tennessee Saturday, winning the Nashville Straw Poll at the annual convention of the tea party-backed National Federation of Republican Assemblies.
Trump won with 52 percent of the vote, CNN reports. It was not immediately clear how many of the 16 others seeking the nomination were on the ballot.
In his morning speech, the billionaire businessman praised the tea party's efforts to hold the federal government accountable and discussed how the group has been discredited by the Republican establishment.
"You have not been treated fairly," Trump said, according to CNN. "People talk about the tea party, and you talk about being marginalized?

Sure having a strong up front born again conservative President would be great but I am not concerned about Trump’s faith. First it is a strong man of action we need in the WH who can’t be bought and who is promising good conservative policies. We are not voting for Pastor of America but President of America.
Second Trump is very pro Christian and I believe he will actually do something about the stripping away of the Christian foundation of the nation not just talk about it like others.
Third Trump may well be a Christian and his comments may reflect a different way of speaking about his walk with God than the way you and I would speak about it. Only God knows his heart. We know what he is doing and promising and that is most refreshing to hear someone finally say what Trump is saying and not backing down to anyone. I have never seen anyone handle the scum media and GOPe bosses the way he does.
I have hope once again that will be a President who can reverse what has happened to this country, someone with enough inner strength to actually do what has to be done not just half way measures and excuses why they can’t right now.
There's good reason to look for a President with a strong faith.
Remember how President Carter, the last president with a strong faith, made the country strong?
I don’t know if that is remotely true
With many of the things Reagan said, he either had a very sincere faith in Christ or he faked it extraordinarily well. George Washington had a sincere faith in Christ. Besides, Carter is a poor example. Rush is exactly right. All those people are leftists first and foremost.
Yes we should be praying for Trump and all our leaders, even Obama. Imagine if Obama had a God encounter and was born again and saw everything from a Christian prospective. God can turn anything to good. All that is wrong in America is to some degree because of a church that is not seeking and following God as it should.
Verse 13 is often left out when verse 14 is spoken of.
2 Chron 7: 13 When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locust to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, 14 if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 15 Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
When God’s PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLED BY HIS NAME humble ourselves....pray...seek God...turn from our wicked ways, not when the unbelievers do these things.
Sorry to preach just felt the urge. Without God’s hand, no politics or politician will change anything to good. And I know I am preaching too the choir (the Christian FReeper choir).
Has he made any indication that he’d do any of that?
Then vote for Ted Cruz.
Trump is a liberal. He’s saying this stuff because it’s selling. He won’t make America great, he won’t reverse the march of progressivism, and he won’t make all your wildest dreams come true. There is more than enough evidence for this.
Wouldn’t we need a conservative for that?
Basically Trump did better than everybody else put together.
Carter lied about his faith.
By definition over50% means that
Just in case somebody didn’t notice. You did obviously.
“He won’t make America great, he won’t reverse the march of progressivism, and he won’t make all your wildest dreams come true.”
And the nearly all-RINO lineup will? You know, like how they rolled back most of obama’s agenda when they got control of Congress?
I don't even know what a conservative is anymore...Just like Christians...Everybody's a Christian now days...
These guys need to put down a job description for their conservative designation so we know what they are talking about...We can't just assume any more...
We have a chance to nominate the best person since Reagan (Ted Cruz) and most of us are stuck on this conman.
You nailed it. Trump is not giving a speech - he is talking to people - like having a conversation. That is why politicians with their prepared lines come off stale next to him.
Add Cruz
Dept of Environmental Conservation FIRST Dept to ELIMINATE
(Dept of Economic Collapse)
“We have a chance to nominate the best person since Reagan (Ted Cruz) and most of us are stuck on this conman.”
My assumption is Cruz won’t be nominated, though he WOULD be the best President.
