Why Ted Cruz Can't Drop Out Prior to the Convention
Politics as Unusual ^ | Today | Otto Lamp

Posted on 04/26/2016 1:05:50 PM PDT by Brookhaven

Ted Cruz, his father, and David Barton
Here is why Ted Cruz can't drop out prior to the convention:

Robert Morris Announces Solemn Assembly of 75,000 Pastors at Cowboy Stadium in July 2016

Just in time for the GOP and Dem National Conventions, Robert Morris and friends want to get 75,000 pastors in Dallas’ Cowboy Stadium to pray for the nation. Morris announced the big solemn assembly in his Saturday (8/8/15) sermon at the Southlake campus of Gateway Church...
The national conventions for both parties are also in July. This looks like a perfect occasion to organize for the GOP nominee. The timing makes it seem more like a political event than a prayer meeting.
It is being billed as a non-political event. The fact is, it will end up being a Cruz-fest. The people putting on and attending this rally are Cruz's religious supporters. People who have backed his run; who believe in Ted Cruz; who literally believe Ted Cruz has been anointed by God to be president.

Ted dropping out before they had a chance to pray a miracle and put Ted into the White House would show a lack a faith. So no, Ted can't just drop out, and he won't.

...doesn’t matter what Lyin Ted does.

TRUMP is going to win over “25% Ted” who can’t get enough votes to beat TRUMP in most of the states.

Cruz is crashing in the polls now. What happens to his momentum after he loses the next 6 contests, often placing 3rd?
He is done.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

If Cruz destroys the Party at the Convention then loses to Hillary, he is finished politically - BUT if he quits, he has a bright future.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

Yes, Cruz is a narcissistic jerk - and exactly why he will likely quit before Cleveland. Narcissists don't often commit suicide.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

I'm going on record as predicting CRUZ QUITS BEFORE CLEVELAND in a magnanimous gesture to save the Party gaining future leverage & goodwill.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

Does narcissistic Cruz at age 45 seem like the kind of man to destroy his career just to stop a man with whom he largely agrees on policy?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

People say Cruz will stay in to the end out of ambition - but political suicide is not ambitious. Being the guy who "savedthe Party" is.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) April 15, 2016

Cruz going to Cleveland would be the equivalent of a Kamikaze pilot diving into an enemy ship. Bad for the boat, worse for the pilot.

Balaam’s Donkey
21 Balaam got up in the morning. He put a saddle on his donkey. Then he went with the Moabite officials. 22 But God was very angry when Balaam went. So the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey. His two servants were with him. 23 The donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road. The angel was holding a sword. He was ready for battle. So the donkey left the road and went into a field. Balaam hit the donkey. He wanted to get it back on the road.

24 Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path. The path went through the vineyards. There were walls on both sides. 25 The donkey saw the angel of the Lord. So it moved close to the wall. It crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall. So he hit the donkey again.

26 Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead. He stood in a narrow place. There was no room to turn, either right or left. 27 The donkey saw the angel of the Lord. So it lay down under Balaam. That made him angry. He hit the donkey with his walking stick. 28 Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth. It said to Balaam, “What have I done to you? Why did you hit me these three times?”

29 Balaam answered the donkey. He said, “You have made me look foolish! I wish I had a sword in my hand. If I did, I’d kill you right now.”

30 The donkey said to Balaam, “I’m your own donkey. I’m the one you have always ridden. Haven’t you been riding me to this very day? Have I ever made you look foolish before?”

“No,” he said.

31 Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes. He saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road. He saw that the angel was holding a sword. The angel was ready for battle. So Balaam bowed down. He fell with his face to the ground.

32 The angel of the Lord spoke to him. He asked him, “Why have you hit your donkey three times? I have come here to oppose you. What you are doing is foolish. 33 The donkey saw me. It turned away from me three times. Suppose it had not turned away. Then I would certainly have killed you by now. But I would have spared the donkey.”

And Cruz’s religious supporters would respond:

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment. You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,”
Says the Lord. - Isaiah 54:17

He can, but he won’t, because he doesn’t have the honor.

It’s an accurate portrayal of Cruz’s supporters and who he is beholding to. How is it “crap?”

He owes $1 million to Goldman Sachs and needs to figure out a way to pay it back, even if it means being a complete shill for his GOP Inc masters.

Can’t fool us!

They don’t need Ted in the race to pray.

BTW... When I heard Heidi’s revelation regarding Ted that was something like, “Seek my face, not my hand,” I had a different interpretation. I heard, “You don’t even know me. Learn of me first instead of asking me for my help to get ahead.”

This is some crazy stuff.

I think I'll stick with my theory that Cruz's father was the second gunman on JFK.

The article makes no sense. How are they going to get enough snakes in one place to support a Cruz religious-fest of this size? Is this event BYOS? Bring you own serpents?

Simply not plausible.

You are correct, they don’t.

But, they have stuck their prophetic necks out by pushing the “Ted is anointed” line.

Ted can't afford his entourage plus pay them

I bet soon the resigning of Ted's people will start soon

This election has been wild.

First, the conservative intelligentsia (National Review and so forth) learned that we don't need them to define "conservative" for us.

The lamestream media hasn't played a major role, simply because people have a world of information at their fingertips. We don't need them to "interpret" the news for us.

Now these televangelists and their ilk are learning that God doesn't necessarily need them when He wants to speak to His people.

It's been a game-changer.

So if their prophecies do not come to fruition, does that mean they will stop believing? Really is a lame excuse as to why he cannot exit the nomination process.

Hillary is counting on Lying, Cheating, ObamaTRADE Ted;

the Cruz no one really knew until he voted to allow
the vote on SECRET ObamaTRADE because he is
nothing by a lying, stinking, CRYPTO-GLOBALIST.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

If that were true in the way some take it, there would never be a single Christian martyr.
