randy, what else struck you about what the group had to say? reporter: well, anderson, we know trump is polling well among eadvantage gel cals and not only in iowa, nationwide. we had one supporting ben carson, another rick santorum. another supporting mike huckabee. of course, they said in the end they would vote for donald trump if he was the nominee as you heard them say. he is not their top choice. i asked them why they think he is polling so well. they told me it s the same reason, he s bold, he s brash, he doesn t back down. they like that. the only. they re requesting from him right now is that he start reading the bible from cover-to-cover, anderson. randy, thank you very much. with that on the table, let s get some perspective from the president of the southern baptist convention ethics commission and trump supporter, cnn political commentator and political director jeffrey lord.
