I am a “hard core” Evangelical and I happily voted for Cruz in my state’s early voting, not because he is also an Evangelical, but because he is a Constitutionalist. I will vote for him again if I have the opportunity to do so.
However I find much good analysis and counsel in the attached article. No candidate should hide their faith, but Cruz’s campaign surrogates have put way too much emphasis on religiosity in a nation which no longer takes faith seriously; much of that religiosity is simply absurd and (in my opinion) counter-Biblical. The Cruz surrogates have also committed way too many stupid unforced errors, which unfortunately call into question Cruz’s skill in choosing subordinates.
I’m hoping against hope that he can do well in the SEC, but were I to bet I’d put my money on Rubio at this point.
I’m with you.
