Honey! You are saying this because you prefer Trump, I get it - who has probably never heard the phrase before.
And your presumption in my view is wrong.

As a Christian, I serve Jesus and no one else. And I don't ask Him to serve me or some political movement.

I don’t know. I am fine with religion but am not really comfortable with this kind of statement. It transforms Cruz’s campaign into a religious crusade...I think religion and politics don’t mix well. I like a secular leader with strong moral underpinnings, and am not so comfortable with someone implying the body of Christ will lift him up.

I have to wonder since through the ages so many have used the trappings of religion to attain wealth and power. To me making a big show of your sanctity is a red flag that you make be utilizing a religious mantle to energize people to whom religion is a powerful force. Not only am I uncomfortable with Cruz trying to gild his campaign with the banner of Christ’s sacrifice I think it may alienate a large number of people who are more reserved about religious talk. He may pull out the religious right and lose the center and the independents.

“Crusade 1.lead or take part in an energetic and organized campaign concerning a social, political, or religious issue.”
