Trump: ‘I Am Not Surprised that I’m Doing So Well with Evangelicals’

BRZEZINSKI: “And now, Republican presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Donald, good to have you back on the show. How are you doing?”
TRUMP: “Good morning. I am doing fine. Thank you.”
SCARABOROUGH: “You love polls. We just threw a lot of poll numbers out —“ [crosstalk]
BRZEZINSKI: “But that Iowa one —“
SCARABOROUGH: “They coming out as fast and furiously. The Iowa one shows it’s close up there. There are some polls that have you up a good bit —“ [crosstalk]
BRZEZINSKI: “With Ted Cruz.” 
SCARABOROUGH: “What’s your closing argument in the last six days for the people of Iowa? Why should they vote for you? Why do you want to be president?”
TRUMP: “Well, I’ve had a great relationship with the people of Iowa. I am doing really well with evangelicals. In fact, I met with a large group of ministers and pastors yesterday and I am getting tremendous support. I’m getting —”
SCARABOROUGH: “Why is that, Donald? Because, you’re not a — you’re not a dyed–in–the–wool evangelical. Why are you doing well.”
TRUMP: “Well, I’m a religious person. I’ve been going to Sunday school for a long time like you did, Joe. You know, I am a religious person. And frankly, you know, I am a believer. And they understand that. You know, some of the polls came out, it was interesting. CNN said I’d be the best leader, I’d be the best with ISIS, I’ll be best on the border by far, I’ll be best on a lot of other things. And the evangelicals want that — they want that  too. They want a combination of things, but they want that very badly. So, I am not surprised that I’m doing so well with the evangelicals. I know nationwide I’m way up with evangelicals. So that’s very good.”
