Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump implored Christian conservatives gathered at a Pastors and Pews event in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday to go “spread the word” about why he'll be a good president.
“This may be the most important election that our country has ever had, so go out and spread the word,” an unusually soft-spoken Trump said at the event, sponsored by the American Renewal Project. “Once I get in, I will do my thing that I do very well. It think it’s probably, it may be the only way that I’m going to get to heaven.”
