We will see if it is genuine if he continues his preaching in New Hampshire. Otherwise, it was just a cynical tactic to fool gullible Christians.

Not necessarily. A well-trained evangelist does not use the same approach for every prospective convert. I would not preach the Gospel the same way to a backslidden Baptist as I would to a Muslim, though the core message would be the same.

Besides, Ted set it out in his speech at Liberty, IIRC, that he wants to bring in the evangelical vote in a big way. If that works, it could change the dynamics of the race on a large scale, including states that typically vote further to the left.

That, of course, is why, per Alinsky, all the attacks on Cruz focus on the one or two areas that should be his greatest strengths, character, and consistency as a conservative. These are designed to put a wedge between him and his key strategic constituency, evangelicals. Whether that anti-Cruz defense mechanism will work remains to be seen.

You mean like Taqiyah?
