In the wake of Donald Trump’s endorsement by evangelical leader and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr., Republican rival Jeb Bush had some strong words for the real estate mogul and his faith, calling him a “flip-flopper”.
In particular, Rubio gave an intense answer that laid out his a strict plan for national security defense against potential threats associated with immigration …
