Are you crazy? “Cruz is not a Christian” if he joins Trump? I really wonder in your narrow little universe who is a Christian, besides you, that is?

Churchill wasn’t that devout of a Christian, some question if he even believed at all. But perish the thought if he wasn’t the one leading Britain during WWII.

“If Cruz teams with Trump it will show that he isn’t the Christian”

News flash. Jesus isn’t running.

And if you wanted a “Good Christian” back in 1976, then Jimmy Carter was your man.

“Ever hear Trump say anything bad about Cruz?
Ever hear Cruz say anything bad about Trump?
Ever wonder why?”

I think it’s pretty obvious. Occam’s razor. Of course several folks will want to add a layer of complexity that doesn’t exist. And that’s fine. We’ll see in the fullness of time.

Your statement just goes to show just how little you know about Cruz.

Someday you will have to explain your words to Jesus face to face, good luck with that.

I’m not really a Ted Cruz fan but he’s heads and tails above Trump.

Who do you prefer and why?

Not a "gotcha" question - I would really like to know if I'm missing something.

Nothing like using Jesus as a threat, is there?

No threat, just how it is. Certainly if one doesn’t believe why is it a threat? You already know it isn’t going to happen, because there is no such thing, right?

And if you believe then you stand by your belief so where is the threat?

So tell me where is the threat?

Agreed.

What the freak are FReepers thinking when they post “Cruz/ Trump” Or even “Trump/Cruz”?

They might as well support Hillary. After all, Trump did. (And probably still does.)

With a Trump/Cruz ticket Cruz might be able to curb Donald's liberal tendencies.

I don’t know to be honest. I think I lean a little toward Marco Rubio. He already acts and feels “Presidential”. I like Walker, but I think the lack of a college degree would hurt him. Democrats love to try to paint conservatives as “idiots”, and Walker’s lack of a degree would probably make it easier for them.

Up to this point my biggest problem with Cruz was that he has seemed a bit too bombastic and over the top. Now that Trump has come on the scene I can’t frankly remember one thing Cruz has said that I could use as an example of him being that way. Cruz has a hell of a resume! He’s unquestionably conservative. It’s just a question of my perception of him I guess.

Listen to him saying it himself at the 53:00 mark. He was talking about repealing and replacing Obamacare and he added this:

Full Speech: Donald Trump Brings Down The House In Phoenix, AZ (7-11-15)

“I know this doesn't sound very Conservative. We gotta take care of everybody, not just the people up here. We gotta take care of everybody. Okay! Get used to it, Conservatives. I love you, Conservatives. Get used to it. Let's take care of everybody, please. And by the way Obamacare doesn't!”

You claimed threat and I asked you what is the threat? You claimed it I just want you to prove your claim. Is asking someone to back their accusations now anger? Are we now in a state that no matter what someone says about you you can’t question it?

Good question. They may be allies, but that doesn’t mean that either one of them would like to be VP to the other.
