Donald Trump attended the First Presbyterian Church in Muscatine, Iowa, on Sunday, presumably to remind people that, as he likes to say, he is a Protestant.
I don’t know if this is some brilliant marketing ploy or just an example of sloppiness on his campaign, but the church he attended is quite liberal. The pastor used the occasion to give a lecture on humility and welcoming refugees. Trump told reporters actually he has a lot of humility. Nobody can beat him in that either:
‘‘I heard that,’’ Trump told reporters. ‘‘I wondered if that was for me. They didn’t even know I was coming, so I doubt it. But it’s an appropriate phrase. … Perhaps she had something in mind.”
“I have more humility than people think,” he asserted.
The First Presbyterian church of Muscatine also belongs to the pro-gay marriage and pro-choice branch of the Presbyterians. Not sure what message The Donald wanted to send to Iowa voters days before the caucus.
But it’s not your mom’s Presbyterian church any more Donald. Did you know that?

Maggie, Trump (the FRONTRUNNER for the GOP nomination) has already called marriage equality a “done deal” and the “law of the land.” He has also been on record as pro choice and if you think he has changed his stance on that, I have some snow piles on the west side to sell you. Trump is pandering at best to what remains of the “social conservatives” just to get through the wacko primary voters, and if he is (shudder) to win the nomination he will jettison those folks just as fast as Carly fired 20,000 HP employees when it no longer suited her to pretend they were important.
You Maggie, along with all those groups that have the misnomer “family” in them, will be among the first to hear Donald say “you’re fired.”

You are a smart lady, I am sure you can see the writing on the wall:
Remember when it was going to be a “bloody mess” in NY? Hasn’t happened.

Remember when “there aren’t five votes to find a right to gay marriage in the Supreme Court”? #Obergefell
Remember when you were going to advance the cause of “reparative therapy” (i.e. torturing gay kids) with JONAH? #Loss

BTW – how much longer do you think Brian Brown can run NOM in the deep red?

I bet this is one of the first times Trump has been in church since Liza Minelli’s wedding. He is splitting the last remaining coalitions of the GOP into a million pieces, all of which Hillary will sweep up on her way to Pennsylvania Ave.
