Great honor- Rev. Jerry Falwell Jr. of Liberty University, one of the most respected religious leaders in our nation, has just endorsed me!
11:55am - 26 Jan 16
In a statement announcing his endorsement, Falwell called Trump “a successful executive and entrepreneur, a wonderful father and a man who I believe can lead our country to greatness again.â€
Falwell’s move has long been expected since he has showered praise on the billionaire in recent weeks and developed a rapport with Trump. But the timing of the formal announcement is significant, coming as Trump and Ted Cruz compete intensely in Iowa for the support of social conservatives.
“It is truly an honor to receive Jerry’s endorsement. Not only is he a high-quality person, with a wonderful family, whom I have great respect for – I also consider him a very good friend and his support means so much to me,†Trump said in a statement.
The rebellion against professional politicians continues.

‘Donald Trump is a breath of fresh air in a nation where the political establishment from both parties has betrayed their constituencies time and time again with broken promises and a continuation of the status quo.’
My prediction:
Those who have always been the loudest of FR in shouting down Falwell and his irk will be the loudest to crow about this.
Another big bump for Trump.
I respect Falwell immensely, but this is a “yuge” mistake.
Understandable, but wrong on multiple levels.
WooHoo. God Bless you sir!!!
2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Don’t know Trump’s heart, but from his testimony I seriously doubt that he is a true believer; therefore, Falwell’s and Jeffress’ endorsements are strange to say the least.
I am a Trump supporter, however I do see some of the things he's doing as pandering for votes. On the bright side, I'm glad for once a politician is pandering to the people instead of lobbyists and big business.
Well, maybe Trump gave a HUGE donation to Liberty...
We know he likes paying off politicians (bribing them) so maybe he does the same here as well?
Prove otherwise.
..I do not support his choice, but for those who say clergy cannot endorse candidates, they need to start with racially charged leftist churches like AME—who have done it
for half a century...
Here is what Trump would have been saying if Falwell had endorsed Ted Cruz

Rush L. is behind the curve on this.
He mentioned Trump has a major endorsement announcement, but they don’t know who it could be.
Another sell-out!
apostate
It would be better if there wasn’t $100,000 involved-Even if Trump gave it of Falwell’s friend, it takes away from the endorsement.
So Trump makes fun of Cruz for his Glenn Beck endorsement because Beck kinda nutty. Yet Trump doesn’t hesitate to tout his endorsements from nut cases like Sarah Palin and Falwell. Hmmm.
