Trump also announces "a very powerful endorsement" will be coming Tuesday because "so many people want to endorse us because they say Ted Cruz is wacky."

Later in the morning, Trump revealed he was being endorsed by the son of Liberty University founder Rev. Jerry Falwell. The endorsement could give Trump a boost in his contest with Cruz for support among Christian evangelicals.
Great honor- Rev. Jerry Falwell Jr. of Liberty University, one of the most respected religious leaders in our nation, has just endorsed me!
