By all rights the 2016 Presidential primaries should be over. There is after all only one candidate still standing who can make the required 1237 delegates and that is Donald Trump. Yet Ted Cruz refuses to go away.
There’s a youtube video floating around that shows an 18-year old Cruz talking about his goals. Cruz said he wanted to “take over the world, world domination… you know, rule everything, rich, powerful that sort of stuff.” On its face this looks like teenage ramblings but with Cruz, not so much.
Ted’s father, Rafael Cruz, preaches a neo-charismatic movement, the “Seven Mountain Dominion” (7MD). Dominionists believe evangelical Christians who are anointed as “kings” will be sent to take control of all sectors of society, an agenda commonly referred to as the “Seven Mountains” mandate. Pretty much ‘world domination.’ And Rafael’s not shy about telling people who he believes should take the reins.
During a 2012 sermon at New Beginnings Church in Bedford, Texas, Rafael Cruz preached that his son’s political campaign is a direct fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. Cruz told the congregation that God would anoint Christian “kings” to preside over an “end-time transfer of wealth” from the wicked to the righteous.
Others passionately attest to Ted’s calling. Larry Huch, the pastor of New Beginnings, claimed Cruz’s recent election to the U.S. Senate was a sign that Ted is indeed one of these kings. Heidi Cruz got a personal message from God that Ted’s the guy. Glenn Beck, Ted’s closest political ally, preached in Utah that Ted Cruz is “anointed for this time.” Glenn says nobody knows what it is like to carry the ‘Moses-like burden’ that Cruz bears. Beck also preached that if voters align themselves with the evil Trump, they’re "not listening to their God”.

I’ll be somewhat shocked if he doesn’t announce campaign suspension tonight.
“Cruz will either go away tomorrow or it will be the end of his once bright career.”
Not bowing to The Donald is a career destroyer? Think about that for a minute.
I hope Trump deports the sad sack.
One can tell whether one is a believer by whether or not they produce fruit...in Ted’s case not much but a lot of rhetoric.
As far as prophesy the same can be told...for prophesy to work there has to be confirming words...just cause your Daddy says you are ordained and destined by God to become something does not make it so...where is the fruit where is the confirming affirmation from others in the prophetic circle...and don’t say Beck is a part of the circle he’s circling the drain at the moment.
This whole exercise by Ted has been futile.

He should, but so should Kasich. Both are hanging on to the hope that the GOP delegates will nominate them and that all the millions of disenfranchised voters will happily support them. It’s delusional.
And hw do you manage to twist what was said into that nonsense.
Cruz has ZERO repeat ZERO change of being the nominee. Trump is not only on a roll but he is going into the convention with probably close to 1300 delegates.
By acting the way he is Cruz is behaving like a petulant child having a temper tantrum. The career government employee ought to go back to his day job
For prophecy to be valid it has to be shown over time. What is spoken MUST come true.
Sorry Ted you are sired by and married to false prophets
Whatever keeps the establishment candidate, Trump from the White House.
At the end of that video Cruz says “Ask yourself one question” and somebody says, “Are you a Canadian?” Game set match Mister Trump.
ModelBreaker, It’s not a “Trump” thing... its a ‘Reality’ thing.
If Ted Cruz has such a inflated ego, that he will-not/cannot see the writing on the wall...then I fear going forward politically will be a very hard slug..
People (conservatives) don’t like those who are impervious to rational thought.
Best to you.
Disrespecting the American voter and being a stalker is a career destroyer.
We said no. We mean it.
Think about that for a minute.
Any other candidate would see the writing on the wall and drop out for the good of the Republican party, conservatism, and the US.
By staying in, Cruz is draining resources away from attacking Hillary and ensuring she doesn’t win the WH. He can’t win, and if he manages to steal the nomination, the perception would be that he’s an illegitimate candidate and he would lose in a landslide of epic proportions. Not to say that Trump will win, but Cruz will definitely lose.
He’s effectively a 46 year old man throwing a temper tantrum, and he doesn’t care what the negative outcome of his actions are.
There’s been lots of smoke but now someone has apparently found some fire.
Trouble is, it looks like the wrong kind of fire, a strange fire. This plain ain’t biblical. The people of God can’t take over the world yet. They wouldn’t even know what to do with it if they could. God does have a kind of spoils system going where Christians and Jews can make exploits in the world. But not take over the whole thing. That has to wait for the Second Coming.
Ted has not just jumped, but pole vaulted over the shark.
Bowing to God (not the pretend one either) would be quite wise.
He reminds me of a jilted lover who says over and over “you must love me, I am the best.” He comes over and stays too long.
“...Not bowing to the Donald is a career destroyer?...”
Actively trying to thwart the will of American voters is a career destroyer.
Oh nonsense, Cruz would not be “bowing to The Donald.” He is accepting the will of the people of this party, who prefer Donald Trump’s candidacy, rather than denying us the right to freely choose the candidate of our choice.
By stepping aside now, Cruz will demonstrate that he does believe in our representative republic and our constitution. He will prevent a brokered convention which will probably destroy the party not to mention his career. If Cruz cannot beat Trump, how in the heck will he defeat Hillary who will be far more formidable candidate than Trump has been in the primary?
You think he is going to do this with a debate or two? Are you really that naive?
If Cruz persists in this, and does force a brokered convention, this will result in the Washington cartel maintaining control, the fraud, corruption and deceit will continue unabated, and the globalist cabal will continue to destroy what is left of our prosperity and our sovereignty.
In summary, what he will have done is exactly the opposite of the reasons that he states he running, and exactly the opposite of what you Cruz supporters say you believe.
Aren’t you Cruz people capable of any objective thought at all? Can’t you see past your infatuation with Cruz and see what is really happening and what will happen?
Do you want President Jeb Bush/Mitt Romney/Hillary Clinton that badly?
