[The Cruz “faith” angle has been marred by his campaign choices]
No, it hasn’t. It has been marred b an orchestrated smear campaign after Cruz stood against the establishment Iowa and won.
Agreed. It takes very little effort to figure out people have been lying about Cruz.
OTOH, I think Cruz himself talks faith too often when he should be talking the Constitution or his own record. I’m astonished the number of people this time around who claim to vote based on faith who are going for Trump, the dude who flat out states that he’s never felt any need to ask forgiveness.
Whatever faith they’re voting by, it’s not nearly so Biblical as the faith Cruz is talking about, and nothing he can say is going to change that, so I’m not convinced his faith talk is getting him much of anywhere. Plus Carson’s been in total violation of Biblical principles since Iowa, while Cruz has done everything the Bible requires of him; the fact that many who claim to put faith first in their voting still support Carson is another reason I think the faith position is meaningless.
I suspect that, for most people, “faith” is just code for “my guy.”
