“Being identified as the “conservative Christian†candidate is electoral death.”
If that is really true, where we have a nation of people that do not want their POTUS to be a real genuine “Conservative Christian,” then the election is a waste of time, and it is time to give up on this country.
Cruz is the real deal, Trump is only a “nominal christian” (little c on purpose). If voting for Mr. Trump (someone I consider godless) then it is no better to me than voting for an equally godless Mrs. Clinton. I may as well not vote.
It is better to put forward Senator Cruz in a general election....who is genuine, than a Mr. Trump that really cannot (IMO) be trusted. For even if Trump could win, it would not be a win for real conservatism or America. That is my opinion and belief.
This is the elephant that many don't want to face. If the base won't turn out for Romney against Obama, what makes anyone think they will for Trump against Hillary? The lesser of two evils theory has shown itself to be unacceptable to evangelical voters.
Do you doubt it?
