Current GOP primary frontrunner Donald Trump met with forty different religious leaders in Trump Tower on Monday to pray, and to reaffirm his support for Israel and for Christians under attack by the Left. Pastor Darrell Scott was impressed with Trump, telling The Brody File that Trump listened attentively while nodding his head, “humbly” accepting criticisms from leaders asking him to tone down his rhetoric. “He has a very high regard and a very deep respect for men and woman of the cloth,” Scott said. Black leaders told Trump they felt he hadn’t connected with black voters. Trump cited polls highlighting black support but ultimately agreed with them. “I think Donald Trump changed the opinions of the African-American pastors that were in the room. They saw a side of him outside of the media depiction, and that they would give strong consideration in regards to supporting his candidacy,” Scott said.
Scott’s observations echoed that of CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Javier Palomarez. “It’s kind of interesting, the dichotomy between the private Donald Trump and the public Donald Trump. He listened a lot more than he spoke. He never once interrupted me,” Palomarez told CNN: At one point, Palomarez said Trump joked that “he didn’t need the Hispanic vote” as he referenced his high poll numbers. “But I think we both know that he’s recognized that in fact, he does need the Hispanic vote,” Palomarez added. As Breitbart News has noted, Trump is already campaigning for the general election, amassing a broad base of support by meeting with and listening to diverse different voter blocs. Trump earlier vowed to protect American Christians’ religious liberty, declaring “I’m one of you!”

Christian enough to at least respect the bible.
Prayer is a good move.
You can tell if someone is born again of the Spirit of God, and if someone has the Holy Ghost dwelling inside of them?
That’s great! Maybe you can teach us lowly Christians how it is you know what is in their heart.
Please, do tell.
Please tell us just which one of the Presidential ‘wannabees’ will the ‘people who are truly filled with God’s Spirit” choose to be elected to save America?
I bet his prayers were really really big.
Pompous aren’t you? Who made you his judge in relation to his relationship with God? That is God’s venue. You are free to judge his policy or persona, but you might want to ask forgiveness from God for butting into his job!
I agree. We saw this same theater with Hitler, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
A relationship with God is a private thing. Trump is right about that. Developing a respectful relationship with religious leaders is not a relationship with God. Can’t hurt, but not the same thing.

Except he doesn't know, I pray all the time, particularly the rosary. Gave my granddaughter a lovely one to take to college...with the words..."He's always there for you. He'll comfort you"...But he won't do your homework.
So even my own son doesn't know what religion means to me.
And none of us know Donald's Heart...but I believe, without a doubt, that it is good.
Can’t hurt, but not the same thing.

I’d bet there were numerous Jewish Leaders there. They don’t hibernate on the Holidays.
So you’re filled with God’s spirit but Trump is fooling everyone into thinking he’s like you?
I was always suspect of folks who claim to have the inside on God or God’s spirit, while alleging others they might read about in the MSM do not.
Which wife did he take with him?
I suppose it doesn't.
I'll pass on both, thank you very much.
..and how long is yours? 3 minutes?.....
Which wife did he take with him?

I haven't seen that documented at all. But it really doesn't matter.
Spiritual hubris is grating.
And his die-hard supporters.
