MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. -- Speaking just six miles apart on Friday morning, Donald J. Trump and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas renewed their bitter personal feud, while their supporters echoed the candidates' language and themes - a sign that the bitterness between the two men has now seeped deeply into the feelings of voters.
Mr. Trump called Mr. Cruz "the biggest liar I've ever seen," a line he has been pushing all week. Trump supporters, some of whom said they had once considered supporting the Texas senator, largely agreed with Mr. Trump's harsh assessment.
"I'm very disappointed in Ted Cruz because of the way he's going after other opponents, and some of the things I don't think were actually fair," said Ken Ivey, a retired contractor who waited in line to hear Mr. Trump.
Earlier in the day, Mr. Cruz mocked Mr. Trump's vague generalities. "It's easy to say 'make America great again,' " he told supporters in a room overlooking the ocean. "Do you understand what made America great in the first place?"
An attendee, Mike Loebs, echoed his candidate, complaining of Mr. Trump, "He's all yadda yadda yadda."
"He has nothing specific," added Mr. Loebs, who retired after 30 years in the Navy. "I think he's a bully. If you don't agree with him, you're fat, dumb or ugly."(continued)

Jeremiah Wright (isn’t that ‘’liberation theology’’?) & ‘’prosperity gospel’’ are both deviations (heresies) invented by men.
Why aren’t the Word of God & the Teachings of Jesus Christ good enough? It doesn’t *need* embellishment or ‘’reformation’’.
Certainly, the media is pernicious- probably almost as much as these self-interested men (& women) who seek to exploit the faithful for money & personal power.
I wouldn’t call the Seven Mountains strain of dominionism anything like regular Pentecostals- or even ‘’hardcore’’ Pentecostals. They have more than their share of televangelist types, but I agree that the average Believer is a good person.
I think we’re talking about apples & oranges.
Yes, that is over the top as well. However, I have seen polls that show the “less” educated are more likely to support Trump. Go figure.
