Yes, it is that simple, amazing how many so called ‘Conservatives’ can’t see that.
There is a proverbial saying about not being able to see the forest for the trees, which appears to apply here.
The question we should be asking is how can we gain a better advantage in our circumstances, and it isn’t by holding out for a mortal who is sufficiently perfect (and often, as Ted Cruz, that turns out to be more veneer than core). It is by engaging the power of the Lord while playing the cards that we do have.
