Who is the God blessed candidate? It’s NOT Cruz, not since he’s defaulted to lies misrepresentation and status quo gutter politics. Ted too will apparently say anything to get elected.

Scoffing at Glenn Beck doesn't help your case for Trump. In the first place, I have never held Glenn Beck in particularly high esteem. (I think he is too silly on the radio, for example.) Thus, I don't greatly care what you think of Glenn Beck.

More to the point of your post's serious shortcomings: you merely repeat non-specific but decidedly vicious accusations against Cruz and then bring up Glenn Beck's peculiar religious speculations about God's will as (evidently) your way of scoffing at the spiritual dimensions of the present mess our nation is in.

In any case, you are avoiding the very serious points I was making. You are changing the spiritual subject by resorting (again) to ad hominem attacks against Cruz--attacks that I say you cannot really justify(even if you probably think at this point that you could). In my seriously critical opinion, you are using the Alinsky-style tactics that Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin (and even Michael Savage!) have noticed in the Trump campaign machine.

(Of course, if you think 9-11 was Bush's fault in some meaningful way and if you think Bush deliberately lied about WMDs to get us into Iraq, you are way out on FR's zaniest fringe, IMHO.)

Nothing you said really supports your case against Cruz. Re-read your tagline from Marilyn vos Savant if you want to be intelligent. Every charge against Cruz that I have chased down so far has proven to be false, dynoman. (And everyone with a modicum of honest, informed good sense knows that Trump's most serious accusations against President Bush are bogus. This ought to worry you about Trump, dynoman-- quite a lot, in fact!)

Cutting to the chase now: you and I both know that Trump is not what any reasonable person would call a clearly good man. One Trump supporter I know recently confessed to me that Cruz evidently IS a good man but that he intends to vote for Trump precisely because Trump is an over-the-top ___hole.

I'm afraid that the fellow's explanation of his preference is a symptom of fatal spiritual stupidity, of socio-political reprobation.
