Cruz Flies to Romney's Defense in Spat With Trump Over Mormonism
Newsmax ^ | March 19, 2016

Posted on 03/20/2016 4:44:12 AM PDT by kevcol

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, campaigning in Utah, called Donald Trump's attacks on Mitt Romney Mormon affiliation "sad" and "disgraceful.''

"It was sad yesterday to see Donald Trump stand up in Utah and call into question Mitt Romney's faith," the Texas senator told reporters on Saturday after a rally in Draper ahead of the state's Republican nominating contest on March 22.

‘I would think that Mormons would find Glenn Beck’s pronouncement that Cruz is the ‘fulfillment of Mormon prophecy’ to be offensive.’

Nah. They’re eating it up. Let them.

Unless I’m forgetting some place, this might be the only state where Trump comes in at Number 3. Oh well.

Laugh away Chump. You know the saying “birds of a feather, flock together” Cruz reeks of desperation by the endorsements he has received from the RINOS. Silly fool doesn’t know he is being USED in the moment.

Trump has all the right enemies that I despise.

Rev. Graham Shocks Media by Saying THIS to Mitt Romney - Going Viral
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3405963/posts

He made a scathing post on Facebook to Mitt Romney.

Said Rev. Graham: ‘I’m 63 years old and I’ve never seen anything like this. This Republican presidential campaign has not only sunk to new lows, but the Republican establishment seems to be desperate to pick their own candidate.’

Mormons should be concerned about Romney and Beck. It’s making their religion look evil.

Trump questioned Romney’s faith. THis is funny given that some of mittens relatives were church elders stupid move by Trump.

Attacking peoples religious beliefs seems to be part of Trump’s SoP.

Excellent.  And FReepers -- like I -- who never read Psalm 144 of David should read its prophetic words.  They speak remarkably to what's going in America today.

And apparently Mormons are in the tank for Romney and Glenn Beck.

Does that not concern them? They don’t have an anti-esbalishment bone in their collective body?

Trump made a comment that the Mormons he knew were hard workers. He then asked if Mitt Romney was really a Mormon. All of us without TDS realized it was a reference to Romney’s sitting out the last month of the 2012 campaign.

He did no such thing.  Read what he said, not how the MSM spins it.  He praised Mormon intelligence, said Romney was a choker and then said, "Are we sure he's a Mormon?"

No offensive at all.

Weren't we all up in arms here a while back when the Pope questioned Trump's faith?

I'm sure someone will be along shortly to explain to us all (and try to justify to themselve's) why this is different.

Mormons should be happy some people question the affiliation of Romney with their religion. I bet they wish Stabby the Clown were not Mormon either as he says Cruz fulfills a last days prophesy. Who set Beck up interpret prophesy for an entire religion?
