1. Hell, I could have told you that.

2. that is obvious but someone had to say it

3. Then it's also fair to say you aren't Christian when you claim gay people are the devil's henchmen

If being a bigot exempts one from being a Christian, then the pope has just excluded himself.

4. Trump Twitter explosion in 3, 2, 1......

5. The Pope is highly overrated, and doing very poorly in the polls

Look, I love popes, and a lot of popes like me. I've done a lot of good business with popes. But this pope is really kind of a loser, and he's not doing well in South Carolina at all.

7. Also, St. Peter's Basillica--I'm not impressed.

If I had the place, I'd class up the joint so it would be world class. I'd add some slots and put in a few shows. Maybe move the entire place to Atlantic City. I'd let visitors get their money's worth.

9. The Vatican has a big, beautiful wall, though

6. A lot of folks in South Carolina believe that Catholics aren't Christian

this should be entertaining for a few days. Then on to the next Trump stunt.

8. The pope says "not Christian" like that's a bad thing.

and I don't think Trump ever claimed to be Catholic.

I wonder what the pope would think of Cruz.

10. Considering Trump wants us to believe his favorite book is "the Bible!".....

....I would say, yes, that is a bad thing, irrespective of what belief system--or lack thereof--a person holds.

Being called a hypocrite stings any which direction it comes from.

11. Interesting that he had to read the statement that someone else prepared for him.

He speaks off-the-cuff about everything else.
