If a dispute occurs among Christians, they are suppose to sit down and discuss it face to face. A big walk-in closet that you can put men out front to keep The Daily Beast from listening (and you know they wanted to) is all the better.
Cruz Bots
not goof
And Cruz had done this at least twice now, that we are aware. To a non-Christian, Cruz is just proving what kind of low life he is, groveling and begging, because he was so evil that it's going to cost him an election. They'll conclude that he's just going after Carsen's (few) voters.
To a Christian, Cruz is walking the walk. Even though he wasn't personally responsible for the CNN tweet, or the contents of Rep. King's more suggestive re-tweet, or for any of Cruz caucus supporters taking photo copies of those tweets (man I'm old, paper copies?? they probably just showed others the news on their smart phones), Cruz (a) explained the event, (b) publicly apologized up front, before the facts were even clear, (c) called Carson personally, and (d) did not scapegoat anyone else in his campaign.
Christians, saw Christian, or Christ-like leadership from Cruz. And, we're seeing it again. His campaign will not benefit from patching things up with Carsen, because Trump and Rubio will keep on with "liar, liar, stole the Iowa election" until hell freezes over, regardless of circumstances or facts. Cruz is just doing the right thing, and by the way, he didn't issue a press announcement while doing it.
