“As for asking Jesus into his life, he says he has, so I as well as you must take him at his word.”
It would be icing on the cake if Trump were a born-again Christian. Maybe he is; maybe he isn’t. (Personally, I doubt if he is, but there’s always hope.)
In America, it doesn’t matter. The Founding Fathers specifically excluded anything faith-based as a requirement for President — or any other federal office, for that matter. They kicked around the idea of a state church as some of the states, e.g., Massachusetts, seemed to be heading in that direction, IIRC.
If we hire/elect a man who is tough enough to save the Constitution, then freedom of religion will be rescued for all of us, whatever our religion (or lack thereof). Trump appears to be extremely strong and not susceptible to buckling under pressure and that’s what we need now.
I'd be happy with a President that tries at all to defend the Constitution.
If he isn't, at least he seems to want to preserve the Christianized culture that carried forward from the time of the founding. And if he is, he is shrewd enough not to trot it out and make it an issue for independent voters who are not rigidly right-wing (can't imagine where we would ever encounter any of those -- LOL!). His father isn't around to tell people whether he is anointed or not, so that's a plus. He does seem know better than to preach to people, since it's a general audience watching the national media. A mantle of piety that may win for Cruz in Iowa is not going to play the same on the populous coasts.
