One big hole in this specious article.
Evangelical’s didn’t vote as a block.
I’m not too certain Hillary or Burney will be the Dem candidate in Nov. It could well be that pro-abort Catholic SlowJoe or that raving Methodist Fauxcahontas.
This author is concerned that the next president might be a true conservative. And so, she is opposed to Cruz.
“If evangelical Christians could elect someone to the presidency with that power, they could effectively scale back the two major hot-button issues they’ve lost on: legalization of abortion and legalization of same-sex marriage.”
Rumor is Carson is suing Cruz personally for monetary damages for voter violations in Iowa and that Trump has provided his lawyers. Big deal.!!! (Kidding) How does that feel Cruzers?

This is how I feel when going to FR the last month.
Further more, I am pretty darn confident that come convention time, the party elites, the ones who have to sign off on the nomination and submit it to the states will NOT allow Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio to be on the ballot because of their eligibility issues (never mind what some constitutional scholars say, or that Obama has issues.) They will strip Cruz and Rubio of their delegates and give them, based on some formula that heavily favors Jeb Bush, to whatever candidates remain who meet constitutional eligibility requirements based on Article II, Section I, Clause 5. And those delegates, along with the super-delegates, will give Bush the nomination. You do not think they would do something like this? Take another look at the cheating, manipulation, and lying that went on Alaska, Mississippi, and Virginia!
If we do not want Bush, we all need to get behind candidates are not Bush, who he and the elites cannot strip of the nomination for any reason!
The author makes two assumptions that defy logic:
1 - assumes that Cruz with a net positive favorability rating is “less electable” than a candidate that has the highest negative favorability rating among all candidates on either side;
2 - assumes that Trump would appoint justices to the court that are any less leftist/statist activist than those that Hillary or Bernie would appoint.
There is absolutely zero basis on which to accept either assumption as reasonable.
That message should resonate with EVERYONE, whether you are religious, libertarian, independent, etc.
In short, it would appear from recent national polls that Cruz and Rubio are both more electable than Trump is.
My main objection to Rubio is that I don't think he is as reliable as Cruz is.
Oh, ok, so primary voters are not supposed to vote their conscience because of your all-knowing inside baseball analysis. Got it...not!
Like it or not, this is the truth. Remember the words ‘Walk softly & carry a BIG stick’?
You guys are your own worst enemy. And every bit as bad as the gays, feminists, & baby killers when it comes to making a spectacle of your beliefs.
LEARN something from the communist termites that have been destroying the country from within. Be quiet. Be diligent. Wise as serpents & harmless as doves
And LISTEN to the Lord when he tells us, explicitly, how to deal with these things. (Most of us *don’t* listen. But life would be easier if we did)
Complete dreck. “So let’s put forward another vanilla moderate. That’s worked soooo well for us the past couple elections!”
In reality I think a lot of Americans may finally be ready for somebody who walks his talk and means what he says. That would be refreshing for a change.
I believe Cruz is a sincere, devout Christian, and that is a very good thing in a president. I also believe Cruz is a sincere conservative, based on principles and not just individual preferences on issues.
As far as I can tell, his decisions as president would likely be guided by his Christian beliefs and by his profound reverence for the Constitution, and both are good things. As far as I can tell, his Supreme Court nominations would most likely be hands-on and guided by reverence for the literal words of the Constitution over any other consideration. That is one of the strongest reasons why I support Cruz as my first choice.
I could be wrong on one or more points, and I have been very wrong in the past (Chief Justice Roberts comes to mind). Cruz is not a perfect person, but none of us are. Still, that is my view based on a great deal of study.
Pro-child killing pro-gay lifestyle author....thank you for worthless input.
Ridiculous
Cruz is indeed unelectable. Absolutely no chance. But increasingly, so is the unhinged Trump. I expect Trump to continue to hurt himself with utter stupidity, like today’s needless outbursts, and then bitterly run as independent and sink Cruz or Rubio. Bill got elected because of one bitter billionaire, and Hill will get elected because of another. Weep for our nation.
Recent polls show Cruz beating Her Majesty.
If you choose a candidate for “electability”, you lose.
made him the true frontrunner for the GOP nomination...
Front runner my arse!
