I think I followed that ;-) To me, a candidate’s religious preferences are a minor consideration, unless the candidate makes it a big part of his presentation. Then I examine it like anything else a candidate puts forth to understand what it says about them. And that’s where Cruz falls off the chart, because his actions don’t match up with his positioning on religious issues.
Of course Cruz looks positively magnanimous compared with Joe Biden. And to my mind, 4% is pretty chintzy when you’re a Democratic Socialist whose whole thing is giving away other peoples money til there’s no more left to give. So Bernie fails the test also.
You just don’t UNDERSTAND. This is Bernie being SINCERE to his model. It would be like a good churchgoer saying that he gave in his tithes.
And of course I’m not seriously pushing Bernie. Just using him as a point of hypothetical debate.
