Jerry Falwell Jr: Trump reminds me of my dad
WND ^ | 1/5/2016

'He says exactly what he thinks no matter what anybody cares'

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump will speak at Liberty University on Jan. 18, the latest presidential hopeful to address the conservative school founded by the late Jerry Falwell. Trump - who spoke in 2012 at the Virginia school - is scheduled to address the school's students on the first day of classes for the spring semester, the News & Advance in Lynchburg reported.

Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. told the newspaper that he and his wife, Becki, have stayed in "close contact" with Trump since his 2012 appearance on campus. Falwell and Trump also spoke after Falwell's December appearance on "The Sean Hannity Show," in which the school president defended his decision in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting to end a rule prohibiting students from bringing guns into dorms. Becki Falwell told the newspaper that Trump had called Falwell, telling him he was proud of him and that he liked that Falwell had compared Trump favorably to the late Jerry Falwell.

Jerry Falwell Jr. is not a prophet, just a person with an opinion.

I remember ole Jerry. He was always pissing off the public with his blunt statements regarding morality. The public didn’t want to hear it. Then we ended up with Clintoon, and Obaboon.

I saw him on Hannity that night. He said Trump reminded him of his dad saying what he wanted and didn’t care, Something about Carson, and then about Cruz “I just love him”.
Those were his 3 choices for prez at the time.

wait a minute.. who was the candidate who had to start off his campaign at Liberty University to create the illusion that he was the most moral person running?.. now because Jerry Falwell Jr. says some nice things about Trump it time for the Cruzbots to crap on the Falwells?

I graduated from Liberty U in 2006. They will have had both Ted Cruz and Donald Trump speak within the last year.

Jerry Falwell Jr, whoever he endorses will carry a lot of weight in rural VA.

well you better check post number 5 again because that was a Cruzbot clearly making fun of deceased Jerry Falwell Sr. because Jr. said something nice about Trump.. I’ll bet you a load of cash that wouldn’t have been said if Jerry Falwell Jr. had just trashed Trump and then endorsed Cruz

Cruzbots and Trumpbots better both cut it out, because they’re both prone to posting BS as fact and law.
