In a statement announcing his endorsement, Falwell called Trump âa successful executive and entrepreneur, a wonderful father and a man who I believe can lead our country to greatness again.â
Falwellâs 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.
âIt is truly an honor to receive Jerryâs endorsement. Not only is he a high-quality person, with a wonderful family, whom I have great respect for â I also consider him a very good friend and his support means so much to me,â Trump said in a statement.
GOD BLESS JERRY FALWELL.....

I know a lot of Cruz fans harp on ideological purity but being able to rapport with people is just as important for a politician. Cruz needs to work on his people skills.
Watch out, lest you hear how not Conservative “enough” Falwell Jr is.
“a wonderful father” to children by three different women.
Funny how leftest think some preacher here or there speaks for all evangelicals.
