When/How did Trump all of a sudden become a Christian??? Or a Republican???

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/06/evangelist-dobson-trump-is-in-a-relationship-with-christ-but-hes-still-only-a-baby-christian/

Trump trashed Hillary Clinton, trying to cast doubt whether she really is a Christian.

Apparently Trump is a Christian now. Because the Evangelicals desperately need an excuse to vote for a narcisstic, money-grubbing, insulting philanderer.

I would like to have some questions for him:
"What does being a Christian mean to you?"
"Can you give us some examples how your christian beliefs have influenced your decisions?"
"Do you agree with Jesus Christ's command that rich people should donate everything because rich people don't go to heaven?"

Trump trashed George Will and mentioned how Will has left the Republican Party. That made me think: When did Trump become a Republican?

Apparently Trump is a Republican now. Because the Republicans desperately need an excuse to support the populist con-man who has harvested the public discontent that they had sown.

I would like to have some questions for him:
"What does being a Republican mean to you?"
"What is Conservatism?"
"What is the Southern Strategy?"
"Name the 5 most recent republican Presidents and give for each an example why he was a great President."
"Name a few republican policies from the last century that made the US a better place."

All those advertising dollars are more important to them. They would prefer to keep pushing a mad man on us. It will end up biting them in the a$$ because the con man will silence them if elected. I remember how the bush people threatened the media after 9-11 with the con man it will be worst.

As you pointed out, he is an absolute con-man. And I think he is literally fucking with the Religious Right. Nothing else could explain this tweet:

Not what they claim to care about. What they actually care about.

Figleaf pieties is what they care about, and he despises all the right people, in their eyes.

Simple as that.

Don't think I've ever actually met one. Seriously.
They all seem to worship themselves and the almighty dollar over anything else.

For the most part that means wrap yourself in a flag, wave your bible around and quote Ayn Rand.
