“Why would I?

that’s what Trump is-—demonstrably.”

I knew, I just knew, you would say that.

“Have you proof that Cruz is the “Christian Taliban” for talking about his faith? Will you even try to lend credence to such a blatantly leftwing attack?”

“Have you proof”?

Remember? I was reposting your post. That was your quote.

Me being a Southern Baptist, I think Cruz is being a religious huckster to say, “if Christians vote our values, we will win.” He did not say “if Christian vote their values” or vote “their Christian values” which would have been bad enough, but he used the royal “our” which assumes him to be the ONLY candidate and the default candidate that would naturally benefit if Christians were true to their calling and voted.

Are Christian values God’s will. Yes. So a vote for Christian values is a vote for God’s will which also requires a vote for Cruz.

Has Trump said anything like that?

Of course you knew I would say it. I’ve been saying it all along, and I’m far from alone.

Go back to Trump threads from 2011, and you’ll see some of the most ardently devoted Trump fans saying the same thing.

So you’re a Southern Baptist who thinks the committed Christian in the race is a “huckster”. To lead the nation you prefer a hypocritical P.T. Barnum who got up on stage and waved a Bible to try and sucker people in.

You, as a Southern Baptist, prefer the sleaze who used to go on Howard Stern’s show to discuss premature ejaculation and Paris Hilton’s sex tape.

Keep trying to tear down the faith of the Christian candidate in an effort to prop up the object of your devotion. I wouldn’t want to have to engage in the mental gymnastics necessary to try and rationalize it.

Talk about twisting someone's words. You have to assume Cruz is using the royal "our" to make his statement into something negative. However, the simplest and most logical reading of his statement is that he is referring to our shared values as Christians. Perhaps you do not share those values or beliefs, and that is why you cannot understand that basic concept? Or are you just so dedicated to Trump that you will look for any way to tear down any possible challenger to his coronation?
