Newt was a follower of Pope Francis last I heard - closer to Bernie Sanders than the liberal Presbyterians she is complaining about.

Oh yes I know Newt is Catholic. That is not the point.
The gist of the article is not that Donald is Presbyterian...
Her issue with Trump is that he is not evangelical enough for her—she actually states she has a pretty good idea (judge) the hearts of the candidates”...Wow that shows a lot of chutzpah—Hmm I have not used that word for a long time and have used it twice to describe her...
From the article:
Brothers and sisters, I cannot understand why some of you are supporting the republican presidential candidate most unlike an evangelical. I hear some of you support him because you think he can win, and righteous candidates like Cruz can’t. Are you discounting his high negatives which exceed the other candidates? You are willing to disregard all Trump says and does? His greed, empty promises, boasting, convenient changing of his positions to gain favor and votes are ok with you? His past personal and financial support for issues and people we have never and will never support. How does this square with Christian, and especially evangelical values?
There are other candidates with heartfelt Christian values. I think I have a pretty good idea of the content of their hearts. I don’t even attempt to understand or judge the content of Mr. Trump’s heart. Maybe just too many layers of something else for me to get to it. Seems to me that Trump has hijacked other candidates’ ideas and their Christian values. He is just louder at expressing many of their ideas. So, Trump says what is on his mind, so do the other candidates in a more civilized and considerate manner. Please take a little time off the Trump bandwagon to learn more about the other good men and women running to save our country. Personally, I prefer a knowledgeable, intelligent, gentlemanly or ladylike Believer as my President.
If she wants to judge all the candidates and their hearts, she ought to disavow her support of Newt in 2012—it would have lent more credibility her and her commentary.
