Ted Cruz has placed himself on a pedestal as the righteous candidate. He and his surrogates have claimed all Christians should support him as a result.
When you present yourself as the Holy Man, the Face of God, you have set an impossibly high standard for yourself.
(The “Face of God” no less??)
The true character of such a man is incredibly important.
Ted Cruz stands accused of many things, not just serial adultery, lying about that adultery and bearing false witness against others.
His guilt or innocence is not yet proven, but the overall situation is clear. His political future rides on the outcome.
Eventually we will know the truth. If he is guilty it will be a deep wound to his supporters, most of whom are very good people.
I don't hold a guy accountable for everything his supporters say. If I did, I wouldn't be able to vote for anyone in an election. Still not entirely clear on why Trump should get a pass for cheating on his wives, but Ted wouldn't. I mean, I can understand people excluding both candidates for that, but not just one.
So I'd say that if Cruz loses votes for that, they probably aren't going to Donald.
