    • God and the Don - CNN.com — "I did very, very well with evangelicals in the polls," Trump interjected in the middle of the conversation -- previously unreported comments that were described to me by both pastors.
    They gently reminded Trump that neither of them was an evangelical.
    "Well, what are you then?" Trump asked.
    They explained they were mainline Protestants, the same Christian tradition in which Trump, a self-described Presbyterian, was raised and claims membership. Like many mainline pastors, they told the President-elect, they lead diverse congregations.
    Trump nodded along, then posed another question to the two men: "But you're all Christians?"
    "Yes, we're all Christians."
