Election and his defeat in 1980 by mr. Reagan. Mr. Balmer spoke at the Jimmy Carter Museum in atlanta back in 2014. Welcome. Its a pleasure for me tonight to introduce randall balmer, professor of arts and sciences at dartmouth college. I have followed his career for a long time. His under graduate work was done at a school where my father was a dean and my brother joe attended that school at the same time. And randy has turned into one of our great, modern american historians. One of the things that makes him great is he really minds the resources of president ial libraries. He really mines the resources of president ial libraries. He has come to the carter library, gone through and found very interesting documents that other people had not seen before. And he has done that at other president ial libraries. Combined with that, he has also mined the resources of the archives on various evangelical organizations that have become involved in politics. And on top of his research skills, h
That day and the holocaust was narrowly averted. And books that perceive this book, we have the story of what happened to be minority of those who would return to jerusalem after the decree of cyrus. My father came from a family that had been in virginia since the 1600s, had been in this area, the lynchburg area, campbell county, virginia since 1834. His father died when he was 15. His twin brother still lives in the home place. He began to go to church and lynchburg and he became a christian and he decided he wanted to go to Bible College and study at Lynchburg College and be an engineer because it didnt involve any public speaking and he hated public speaking.

Fundraising was a big part of it a k12 school and later not much later
But to prepare citizens with the minds, hearts and character to disdain or democracy in the future. Built on hope, not fear, encouragement not threat, on inspiration, not compulsion. I trust. Im releasing the dignity of the person, not devotion to data. Unsupportive mutual respect, not a machine of punishment and blame. And the last thing to revive collaboration humor, student, parents, teachers, principals, administrators and local communities. The american system is democratically controlled schools has been the mainstay of our communities and the foundation for a nation success. We must Work Together to improve public schools.

Kate bolduan in for erin burnett. Out front, it is on. Donald trump on the attack against ted cruz. Tonight raising questions about whether cruz can even run for president. In an interview with the Washington Post, trump raised the issue of cruz being born in canada and called it a, quote, big problem. He went on to say, it would be a very precarious one for republicans because he would be running and the courts may take a long time to make a decision. You dont want to be running and have that kind of thing hanging over your head. Cruz quickly responded in a very interesting way. His tweet featuring a clip from happy days where fonzi jumped the shark. Trump is across the country in another key state about to rally supporters in claremont, New Hampshire. This comes as several plun candidates launched attack ads. Ads that curiously failed to take aim at the leader of the pack mr. Trump. Sarah is out front with the trump campaign.

The republican race for iowa is on with just 13 days to go and less than two weeks before voting begins in the hawkeye state, kaepts are seeking to make their mark. Especially with evangelical voters, a big swath of the early voting electorate. Yesterday donald trump spoke at Liberty University in lynchburg, virginia, where he softened his tone, though still mixing in a few mild swear words, bungled an attempt to quote scripture, and got a ringing introduction from the universitys president and son of its founder, jerry falwell. My father was criticized in the early 1980s for supporting Ronald Reagan over jimmy carter because president for president , i should say, because Ronald Reagan was a hollywood actor whod been divorced and remarried and jimmy carter was a Southern Baptist sunday School Teacher.
