Ted Cruz Iowa Win Is A Loss For Evangelical Christians

This article is so full of BS I don’t know where to begin.

Post #6 said it best, “Only the slow ones on FR think there is some united bloc of denominations that don’t even agree with each other, chomping at the bit to vote for whomever can quote the Bible the best.”

There’s only “Evangelical” out there who pushing the idea that Trump is better for them than Cruz. His name is Jimmy Carter.

>>> The author makes two assumptions that defy logic:
1 - assumes that Cruz with a net positive favorability rating is “less electable” than a candidate that has the highest negative favorability rating among all candidates on either side;
2 - assumes that Trump would appoint justices to the court that are any less leftist/statist activist than those that Hillary or Bernie would appoint.
There is absolutely zero basis on which to accept either assumption as reasonable. <<

Agree 100%. The author also:

- assumes all evangelical protestants from vastly different denominations and backgrounds blindly voted as a block for Ted Cruz, because he happens to be an Evangelical

- assumes the only Americans who have the goals of ending abortion and gay marriage are Evangelical protestants.

- assumes a majority of Americans were of the "evangelical protestant persuasion" prior to Obama's election

- assumes the next President will appoint four Supreme Court justices

- assumes Ted Cruz is now "the true frontrunner for the GOP nomination" simply by virtue of winning Iowa

- assumes Ted Cruz has "zero" chance of winning the White House because he is outspoken about his beliefs

- assumes Ted Cruz "scares" Independents (what if an self-declared "Independent" voter is ALSO a member of an "Evangelical" denomination? Such a conflicting scenario must boggle the author's mind)

As Impy said, this article is garbage.
