RE: Cruz has been embarrassingly evangelical. It’s so fake, it’s ridiculous.

I don’t know what you mean by being “embarrassingly evangelical”. If he is, he is. What’s there to be embarrassed about your Christian belief?

And Trump isn’t embarrassing when he tries to act “Christian”?

I kinda wish he’d stop the phony “I’m a strong” Christian routine. It’s kinda cringe worthy to say the least.

Look, if you don’t read the Bible, just say so. Don’t pretend that you do and then when asked what your favorite Bible verse is... respond with “It’s personal”.

Then When asked if he has ever asked God for forgiveness or repented of his sins, a key tenant of Christianity, Trump openly said no, and could not really recall a time, ever, that he needed to ask God for forgiveness

When speaking at Liberty University, he so badly flubbed the name of one of the most popular New Testament epistles that it became a trending topic. He’s not a young man, mind you, he’s a senior citizen. He’s 69 years old. He doesn’t know these things because they aren’t a real part of his life.

So Mr, Trump, please stop telling us that the IRS is auditing you because you are a “Strong Christian”.

And stop questioning the faith of other people ( like your opponent ).

I’d rather you simply say you’d defend the rights of Christians and their freedom to live as their faith dictate and simply stop there.

Maybe everybody should stop pandering to evangelicals - who kind of reign supreme on FR with all their hatred of Catholicism and Mormons.

Trump has only occasionally brought out the religious card - Cruz plays it like an ace; each day, every week he’s talking to a state he thinks has a few evangelicals. It doesn’t suit him anymore than it suits Trump. But unlike Trump, Cruz has no humor, no irony, nothing but self-regard. He’s distinctly unpleasant.
