I didn’t think that Evangelicals and Mormons played well together.
That used to be pretty much the case from a religious point of view, and to my knowledge still is. Not sure what’s going on with this. I can’t say that I understand Cruz’s denomination.
"I didn’t think that Evangelicals and Mormons played well together."
To hear either group tell it, they don't. The fact of the matter is, though, that it's really all about who's on top. As long as it's all oral, they get along just fine. Sort of like BJ Clinton and his definition of what is or isn't sex, see?
Proof of that is a lot of "Evangelicals" on FR said that if you're really Christian you couldn't vote for Romney. When Romney and the whole LDS machine is behind their guy, though, the money and support is a gift from God that proves Cruz is the Chosen One.
Funny thing about that is that the same people champion every jot and tilde of the doctrine of, "He who has the gold makes the rules" when it comes to why it's a good thing to ship whole industries overseas leaving hundreds of thousands of unemployed US citizens to sink or swim on a minimum wage, 28 hour a week, job but insist that those who put millions behind their guy aren't setting any rules or attaching any strings.
Very interesting "Christian" worldview.
