No one in this matter is judging Trump’s heart. But the words that came out of his mouth were astonishing to anyone who is an evangelical. It was then, and remains, alien to speak of not seeking forgiveness among serious Christians. We can’t un-hear that. To us it is an impossibility to speak that way once a person has come to Christ by way of the cross. It gives Cruz a genuine edge with evangelicals. It is what it is. Make of it what you will.

Oh, heck. I’m a Catholic; no evangelical am I. But I still beg God’s forgiveness every day.
To be honest, I do not go around advertising about whether I have asked God for forgiveness - that is something between God (The Holy Trinity), my priest (who represents Christ), and myself. Frankly, I would be rather annoyed at anybody who made such an inquiry of me - because it is a deeply personal matter and not the business of any other, save the aforementioned. Had Luntz asked me that question, I would have responded “Nunya” - as in Nunya business!
I think that fact that so many here look to make issue with this statement by Trump, says more about them than about Mr. Trump - or any other candidate, for that matter.
There are some things that respectful people, total strangers, do not ask of another - and this is definitely one. Just my opinion.
