That’s how I took this.
I have said this before, but keep coming back to it: Jesus told a parable about a man with two sons. He asked them to go to tend the vineyard. One said, “I will” . . . then didn’t. The other said, “I won’t . . . but did anyway.” Jesus asked which of the two was more obedient.
You have one guy who supposedly runs on the principles of a Christian . . . yet all his political actions are suspect. He has a porn star in his ads. His team tweets out lies about Carson (yes, the CNN timeline proves this). He attacks Trump for “violence” in Chicago caused by the left. He engages in backroom deals to secure delegates.
The other guy has a rep as a hard-knuckle brawler, but is very open (perhaps too open, because he’s accused of whining) about everything. There are no backroom deals. Whatever he wins, he gets in open elections. Now, you can debate the PERCENTAGES of what he won vs. what he got, but it was certainly participatory. I just see a world of difference between the guy who says “I will” run a Christian campaign, but doesn’t, and the guy who doesn’t pretend to run a Christian campaign, but does.
Yep, Ted and his campaign has produced quite a string actions that are indefensible by any standard of right and wrong. But they mostly weren’t illegal.
