Normally I would say cult schmult, any following can get catcalls from men. Show me the consequences of the belief under controversy.

But in this case there could be big consequences. If he believes that the world is his just by some magic of Christ, he’s going to get an attitude adjustment, but could create a lot of trouble on the way.

Not much play about how Cruz launched his campaign at Liberty University and yet Falwell Jr is endorsing Trump.

The definition of an evangelical is a highly debated topic, even among self-professed evangelicals. I highly doubt that Politico or whoever conducted this poll has any understanding of just how meaningless the term can be.

Good point. Is everyone in Iowa an Evangelical? Is Iowa the Evangelical version of Mormon Utah? I don't think so.

Clearly Jerry Falwell Jr and Phyllis Schlafly don’t go to your church.

How is it up there on your ‘holier-than-thou’ pedestal? Got enough oxygen?

Ye, that is what will happen. This is all out there waiting to go mainstream.

When you hear the Dad talk about in the video, the left will have a field day with it.

A pastor can backslide just as easy as anybody. A pastor is not necessarily any closer to Christ than the people they serve.

Even if its a squeeker win for Cruz, he loses NH, SC, NV.
Proportional delegate allocation in Iowa is going to be almost even, but Trump wins 6 to 12 of the next contests by double digit.

Cruz has nowhere to rack up delegates. Trump doesn’t run out of money, Cruz runs out of funds and starts hitch hiking.

Satan must be laughing. Trump makes Christians look like idiots and acts like the liberals stereotype of the ugly Christian, without any serious evidence he is saved.

Let’s see him disavow and sell off his casinos, repent for his infidelities and sleazy behavior, and offer more than empty words for the pro-life position (contra his pro-abortion actions and financial support). For a start. He has a lot of making up to do.

Don’t worry. You’re gonna win so much you’re gonna be tired of winning, believe me.

There are no delegates in play at the Iowa Caucuses. That’s the really funny part about Iowa.

And yet.

Who are you to judge again?

Hypocrisy abounds!

NATIONAL poll. Completely meaningless in Iowa, where I believe Cruz will win by 5 pts or more. (yes I support Trump)

That’s right, The bigger the turnout the better it is for Trump. Bigger, Better, and Stronger than ever before. Estimates are 300,000+ will come out to Caucus.

I say Cruz loses Iowa by 5% to 10%.

Ted lost nine points with evangelicals but he’s down 17 points. Trump 37 and Ted at 20.
