Then why in the world are the evangelicals promoting him? Listening to his dad is one step away from snake-handling. God directly talks to Heidi. She healed depression through prayer (no psychiatrist need apply). Evangelicals didn’t show up for Romney, the Mormon. Why bother with Cruz?
You don’t know what evangelicals are. From your comments, it appears that you have lumped all low church Protestants together and identified them as ‘evangelicals’. It just isn’t so.
The weird religious crap uttered by Cruz’s wife and father and proxies is NOT any part of evangelism. They are even cutting and pasting Mormon “prophecy” into their road show.
This is very similar to when conservatives are tarred with the neocon name, ideas and agendas, when the neocons are not one bit conservative in the traditional sense.
Evangelical voters on balance have REJECTED this erroneous, even blasphemous lunacy.
