Why are evangelicals supporting Ted Cruz and Donald Trump?

It’s one of the most intriguing sub-plots of the 2016 election: Why are evangelicals, who historically have supported immigration reform and a path to citizenship for deeply felt religious and moral reasons, gravitating towards the two candidates who are most hostile to policy changes that would accommodate and integrate undocumented immigrants into American life?

Cruz has been working behind the scenes to line up the support of influential evangelical leaders around the country, and it has been paying off: he has already rolled out some big endorsements, and many more are set to come. Meanwhile, Cruz and Donald Trump have been dominating among evangelical voters: the last two Quinnipiac polls have showed the two men scooping up around half of Republican-aligned white evangelicals, each with far more evangelical support than any other candidate.

This, despite the fact that some polls have also shown a majority of evangelicals want Congress to pass immigration reform and support a path to citizenship. Yet Trump (who favors mass deportations) and Cruz (who flatly opposes legalization and would end President Obama’s executive actions shielding DREAMers from deportation on Day One) are more at odds with that posture than the other GOP candidates....

Because we want a president of free people, not a pope, a chaplain or a messiah.

You left out the most important part, the descriptive adjective "ILLEGAL" .

I'm surprised anyone living in the USA could be so poorly informed as Mr. Sargent is on the non-doctrinal beliefs of evangelicals. Then, again, maybe it isn't so surprising.

Who has this clown been talking to!?

HUH?

Most I know of believe Trump is a casual Christian....and Cruz is just weird. All that 7 mountain dominance stuff is way out there.

"ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY"

ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF and his IRANIAN SPY ...

Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.

Free Republic has covered this issue before

Read British National Archives Show Son Born To Obama Sr. In 1961 In Kenya!

The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II,
because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so,
at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !
He should be IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY, tried for TREASON, SENTENCED to death,
and then have his body deported back to Kenya.

Here are some articles to assist in defining "WHO" and "WHAT" Obama IS.

Hitler / Obama Comparisons: Is Barack Obama Like Adolf Hitler or The Nazis?

This disgusting Curse on our Nation named Barack Hussein Obama II, aka Barry Soetoro, has a real birth certificate, with his right footprint on it.
All you have to do is look for it.


WHY IS IT that EVERYTHING the LAME Stream Media has done in support of the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is based upon LIES ?

"Official Washington and the Mainstream Media long ago pledged that "The First Black President" MUST be wildly successful, incredibly capable and, indeed, almost superhuman
so future generations of little black boys and girls will be inspired!"

Read Why did Youtube pull this video about Barack Obama?
and watch BREAKING NEWS! - Is Barack Obama Really A Saudi / Muslim "Plant" in the White House?.

No.
CORRECTION: Barack Obama, the first black Arab-American -Kenyan pResident of the United States.

"Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab."

Read this:

"Warren G. Harding was the first President of the United States to have direct negro ancestry.

Thanks to Harding's glorious trailblazing in 1920, the current pretender to the same title, Barak Hussein Obama Jr., is eighty-eight years too late.
Genealogical evidence has revealed that the impostering "first black president" Barak Hussein Obama is
6.5% Negro and 48% Arabic,
the remainder 45% Caucasian.

Why 'imposter' ?
Because Obama is simply not the nation's first Negro President, the simple fact is that he is not Negro.
Barak Hussein is several times more Arabic by genetic percentages."
