The very idea that he is targeting the evangelical vote is my answer. When a politician targets a specific Christian group, how is that any different from other politicians who target the Jewish or Islamic vote? As I said, politics and religion are like oil and water, they don’t mix and I personally lose respect for those who use ANY religion as a voter block. I think it is obscene.

No. I fully understand that Cruz is spending time targeting evangelicals. But he is also spending time targeting Tea Party people and Libertarians. So I'm asking you what positions is Cruz taking when he targets evangelicals, that you don't like?

The very idea that he is targeting the evangelical vote is my answer.

So just the fact that Cruz spends time talking with evangelical is what you don't like. Nevermind the fact that 60 percent of GOP caucus-goers in Iowa are evangelicals, should he avoid them?

On policy, Cruz is NOT mixing politics and religion, he is simply spending time with evangelicals promoting the same constitutional policies that he does with Tea Party people, with libertarians and other patriots.

Yet you have a problem with that.

I suppose you also have a problem with Trump meeting with Jewish groups and black groups too?
