Speaking of Idiots

“I am a Protestant and I am very proud of it,” Donald Trump told Liberty University, the largest evangelical institution of higher education in the United States, on Monday, as he attempted to appeal to this key demographic in the Republican primary.

The GOP frontrunner also told the crowd that if he is elected, “every store will have to say Merry Christmas”. But a biblical reference fell flat when he introduced a passage from 2 Corinthians as “Two Corinthians” rather than “Second Corinthians.”

A Protestant who's apparently never even heard the Bible quoted, much less read it.

I guess it's now an unwritten law that in order to run for president of this country, you have to declare your religion.  They all do it.  And have been doing it for the past several elections. Talk about tearing up the Constitution.
[Trump] claimed that he had attracted a record crowd to an event that college students were mandated to attend and said “We are dedicating the record to the late great Martin Luther King.” Trump made no other mention of King.

[...]

It’s unclear whether Trump’s efforts to woo evangelical voters will be successful.
Here's a tip: don't use the name of the book. Just say, "the Bible says."

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

P.S. It looks like somebody else could use a tip.
