This is so silly. Trump has taken the evangelical vote by huge margins already. Don’t these people know that? How stupid are they?
Are they trying to insert Cruz into the mix? If they are, they’re clueless. True evangelicals can spot a phony a mile away and Cruz is in-your-face phony when it comes to evangelicalism. He’s a cultist, pure and simple (maybe not so pure). Evangelicals didn’t want him in the primaries. They certainly won’t want his name on the ticket in the general election.
Speaking as a true evangelical myself .....
e·van·gel·i·calˌēvanˈjelək(ə)lIt amazes me that so many people do not have any clue what it means to be an evangelical Christian. Some associate it with anyone who is a "religious fundamentalist" of any sect or belief.... that is far from the truth. I understand that Roman Catholics accuse us of being heretics, again far from the truth. Some associate it with preachers like Joel Osteen who preach the false gospel of prosperity, but the true evangelical bases beliefs in the Holy Scriptures which clearly show this movement to be dangerous and repugnant.
