That was unexpected, but I think this is great news. Hopefully this will lead to him learning a thing or two about Christianity instead of saying borderline offensive things like "drink my little wine and have my little cracker".

Like hell he has. The man will say anything he thinks is necessary to pander to his target audience; this is his attempt to mollify the religiously inclined evangelicals. He holds no firm convictions other than making money with as much brand exposure as possible.

This is about as believable as when Jean-Bédel Bokassa, the narcissistic dictator of the Central African Republic, converted to Islam to try to impress Qaddafi and convince him to provide the CAR with military support. It didn't work and Bokassa abandoned Islam not long after.

Donald Trump portraying a Christian is about as ridiculous every time you see him in that goofy little hit he wears. Reminds me of Tom Hanks saying to that umpire in A League of Their Own, "Has anyone ever told you that you look like a penis with that little hat on?

How to get Trump to become a strong Christian: Convince him that Jesus' last words were that he'd be reincarnated as an even greater man born in a NEW city in 1,913 years.

Trump doesn't care about God one way or the other and I question the sanity of anyone who believes otherwise.

I bet that holds until the day after the election or until the day he meets his next wife-to-be, whichever comes first.

He says whatever is useful at the time. So it is with a life-long huckster as Donald Trump is.

Most American Christians are not of the fundamentalist Protestant type, and many have no respect for fundamentalism. Although I have no problem with a sincere expression of devout faith, I question such an expression when it fits some need for display of piety.

Let’s dispel once and for all the fiction that the Trumpster gives a damn for religion.

But quite fitting as many preaching at my church have openly called him a false prophet before (without mentioning him by name, but making it VERY obvious who they are talking about.)

I never thought he'd sink to this low. I always thought that he was like Kevin O'Leary, where his religion is money.

Once again Trump is Zelig. Let's wait and see if Trump confirms this. I'm sure when he was in a room full of evangelicals he lead them to believe this. FWIW Manafort couldn't confirm this when asked about it on MTP.  It will be interesting to see how Trump himself responds when asked

Just to clarify, I'm saying that this is a good thing because I hope it will reduce the number of ridiculous statements he makes. I don't really care whether he actually becomes an evangelical or not.

Why would he say this if it wasn't true at this point? He has no  motive to pander to evangelicals anymore. He already won the GOP nomination.
