MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) —
It’s the second-to-last Sunday before the Iowa caucuses, and you could
find Donald Trump in a fifth row pew for the service at the First
Presbyterian Church in Muscatine.
Religious voters are a big factor in the contest and Trump is working to build his appeal among this group.
The hour-long service included hymns, several readings and a performance by the church’s children’s choir.
At
one point, Trump shared a prayer book with a woman seated to his right.
She put her hand gently around Trump’s waist as the congregation sang
Hymn 409, “God is Here!”
The caucuses are Feb. 1, and Trump’s main
challenger is Ted Cruz. The Texas senator is the son of an evangelical
preacher and has made deep inroads with evangelical voters in Iowa.

Did the minister preach from Two Corinthians?
This is a joke, right? I bet this man can count on one hand the number of times in 2015 he was in church, and I don’t mean on account of someone dying either.
I’m still waiting for this article to make the rounds here:
Not that anyone among those who’ll vote for the asshole gives a shit. tRump comes from a long line of haters. Its enough to make me sick. This is what GOP supporters are in line with nominating as their frontrunner. Its truly disgusting.
were his secret service agents standing around him holding lightning rods?
Noticing the large crucifix mounted above the pulpit, Trump mistakingly assumed that it was a “T” in honor of his visit.
