Clinton-600With Super Tuesday this coming week (March 1), religion continues to be a factor for many candidates. Hillary Clinton went to a church to speak out against gun violence. Republicans are still aggressively reaching out to evangelicals. Donald Trump pledged to be “the greatest representative of the Christians they’ve had in a long time.” That prompted a nun and a United Methodist bishop to accuse him in an op-ed piece of using faith as a ploy to grab votes. In another flap, Ted Cruz fired one of his staffers for falsely claiming on social media that Marco Rubio had mocked the Bible.
