Trump beseeches evangelical pastors to help him win so he can get into heaven

Donald Trump called on evangelical pastors to help him win the presidency this November, which he said is “maybe the only way I'm going to get to heaven.”

“For evangelicals, for the Christians, for the everybody, for everybody of religion, this will be, may be, the most important election that our country has ever had,” Trump told a “Pastors in the Pews” meeting of evangelical leaders in Orlando. “And once I get in, I will do my thing that I do very well. And I figure it is probably, maybe the only way I'm going to get to heaven. So I better do a good job.”

Even if he becomes "born again" he's still the lying, cheating, racist a$$hole.

Temporarily, of course.

After he gets trounced, he'll return to the church of Bacchanalia.

Good one!

Obviously they do not recognize that they and their "family values" agenda are being exposed as nothing but a fraud.

Methinks Trump does not know his Martin Luther.

Says a lot about the crowd that there was not a gasp instead of a laugh when he said it. I would be curious to see what the next clergyman to the podium would have said. I would have pointed out that only an acceptance of Jesus can get you into heaven.
