As a Constitutionalist and small government supporter, I liked when Cruz presented himself the same way. But I wished he could do a better job of speaking to average, non-intellectual voters (such as myself) without sounding condescending. Can’t get the message across if listeners have to de-code it.
As a Christian, however, his preachy holier-than-thou-ness utterly turned me off. That’s when he lost me. Somebody needs to tell this guy, there’s no need to preach to the choir. If he’s walking the walk, Christians will see it. If he’s just talking the talk, everybody will see.
