I have come to the conclusion that Cruz is not a Christian at all. It was all a ploy for him to dupe Evangelicals to vote for him, but also a smoke screen in an attempt to keep the truth about his double life a secret. Essentially, Cruz used and abused the name of Christ to advance himself politically and to hide his sins.
I think it is highly likely you are correct about Cruz. He has the traits of a sociopathic conman. I see nothing Christ like about him...he is all words...rehearsed words.
And in the Bible, it says that the devil is the father of lies, and anyone who lies pathologically (as Cruz seems to) is certainly not abiding in Christ.
Someone on another board suggested the perfect running mate for Cruz: Gov. Nathan Deal of GA. He said that they could both share the same sheep's outfit! LOL.
