I think it was very, very poor judgment on Cruz’ part IF he did indeed actually hear and understand what the man said and did not offer some admonition or disclaimer in his subsequent talk about it. I’d put this in the same barrel as Cruz’ inexplicable embracing of Glenn Beck as a supporter - even to the point of parroting through a mock Oath of Office with that insane twit.
Regardless, I VOTED FOR TRUMP and will vote for him in the general election if he is the nominee, but we have to realize that the day before critical elections are times of great import indeed that need to be taken with a healthy dose of salt considering the source.
In conclusion, I agree. This isn’t something that should be taken as to imply Cruz anything of the sort with this pastor. If anything, Ted did not make “a good choice.”
Cruz spoke *before* this man. Indeed, he spoke the day *before* this man, along with other Presidential candidates.
If someone says goofy things during an event in which Trump appears, are we free to condemn Trump? No. We can’t. It’s not fair in Trump’s case, and it’s not fair in Cruz’s case.
Of course he heard and understood it. This isn’t the first time he’s stood on stage with a religious nut. Seven Mountains Dominionism is a scary, theocratic bunch of nonsense.
Ted has failed to make “good choices” on a number of occasions during this campaign, which is why I’m no longer a Cruz supporter. The fact that he is now obviously supported by the Bush family just demonstrates the old adage that Ted is clearly “educated well beyond his intelligence”.
