Ted Millhouse Cruz gave false witness about nice Doc Carson.

Doc Carson doesn’t believe his lying excuses but forgave Ted because he is a Christian a good one.

Me I believe to be forgiven you have to fess up and make amends for your DIRTY deeds.

Cruz does the opposite which proves he isn’t a devout Christian. Cruz adds new lies every day. His Christian morals are slipping.

And people look at this national polling and forget that it is the Electoral College where the election is won or lost (#electoralvotesmatter....hahaha!). Only the polls of VA, FL, OH, NV, NC, WI, IA, CO, NM, MO and maybe a couple of others will be worth discussing.

Unless you win 49 states. In that case, the numbers work themselves out.

I think Trump would be able to put Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, and even New York, and several other states into play for the first time in several election cycles.

If Trump won blue collar whites and up to 20% of blacks, several blue states could go for him. The Dim margins of victory haven't been so great in those states.

Being a Cruz supporter is being a glutton for punishment on this forum.

No one is a bigger Reagan fan than I am; I have been since before he was elected to the presidency. I have two thank you letters with Ronald Reagan’s signature that are among my most cherished positions.

I am sorry, but Cruz doesn’t remind me of Ronald Reagan... at all. I know that neither Reagan’s adopted son or Michael or his son with Nancy, Ron Jr. support Trump, but the person who does remind me of Reagan is Trump. For me there are many parallels,

Why would a Christian patriot vote for a Dominionist?

Jesus: “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence”.

George Grant, a leading dominionist writer in The Changing of the Guard, Biblical Principles for Political Action:

“Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ — to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness.

But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice.

It is dominion we are after. Not just influence.

It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time.

It is dominion we are after.

World conquest. That’s what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less... Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land — of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ.” (pp. 50-51)

(The above quote comes from Dominion Theology: Blessing or Curse by Thomas Ice, published in 1988 by H. Wayne House and Thomas Ice. pp. 412)

I have an idea. how about looking at his voting record.. TPA, TPP. Going after McDaniels in Ms. (yeah, he and the DC NRSC did that) Corker..

How about a few moments and view this video... No need to argue, just watch. Just your average politico flip’in and flop’in..

Cruz is right, Christian Conservatives are going to vote for him. The question now is how many Christian Conservatives are left in America?

We found that there are so many Christian Conservatives in Iowa that Cruz won by a landslide.

We found that there aren’t many Christian Conservatives in New Hampshire.

As this primary continues, we will find out what parts of the country are still American, that is, which still are majority Christian Conservative.

Another way to look at it is to say that the Constitutional Conservatives are going to vote for Cruz. This means we will see what parts of the country still want to live in a Constitutional Republic with Self Government.

That’s such an unbelievably weak couple of minor, meaningless disagreements with a tiny number of Cruz’ votes on issues of no consequence.

I grew up under Reagan’s era. Cruz is the first politician I’ve seen who reminds me of Reagan. There are two main reasons for that, and Trump couldn’t be more opposite of Cruz and Reagan on both of them. Cruz speaks from a perspective of deep faith eloquently and passionately but without sounding like a preacher or like he’s talking down to people. And Cruz is fully marinated in the small-government, low-tax, libertarian economic ideas of Milton Friedman. While both Cruz and Trump sound fine on military matters, Cruz gets ALL of it. He is Reagan reincarnated.

Apparently the polls are not reflecting all this wonderfulness as Ted is still stuck at 17%. Trump at 44%.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I was already an adult when Reagan came to power. I went toe to toe with the many people who hated Reagan. My recollections must be much more vivid than yours. Reagan had more charisma and likeability in one of his toenails than Cruz has in his whole body.

Reagan also understood that politics is a team sport and he got people to follow him. He even invited the man who coined the term “voodoo economics” to be his vice president as distasteful as that must have been. That is how he put together the Reagan coalition and enabled a bunch of people to hang onto his coattails to get into office.

Cruz has no coattails, he doesn’t care about even those in his own party and has managed to alienate nearly everyone who has ever tried to work with him. It is a little hard to understand how he has been able to succeed as much as he has. This is not the way that Reagan worked. Reagan was even a leader when he was still working as an actor, even when he was still a Democrat... it came natural to him. It is crazy to compare Cruz to Reagan. Trump is a leader like Reagan.

Where Saint Ted? You numbers are dropping everywhere so where is this “growing Reagan coalition” support “growing?” Maybe on the Mark Levin show but not here.

I like the way you tied Christian Conservative and Constitutional Conservative together. The Constitution was created by Christians who said it would only work in a moral society.
