But it's going to make life harder for him in a theoretical general election campaign, where Cruz will have to explain why his faith is more important to him than many of the Americans who he will need to vote him into office.==========================Not a smart comment by Cruz...

Until the last few years, there wasn’t a conflict between them. God-willing, he can help restore the Christian climate. We still poll at an 85% Christian nation... and very many feel the persecution of the secular culture. I don’t think this will hurt him except with those who wouldn’t vote for him anyway—liberal atheists.

It’s a very smart comment for him to make in Iowa.
I don’t see how that comment hurts him, neither do I see how it’s controversial.

Most liberals would think that putting God before country is horrible, and he should be disqualified for president. They’ll say he wants a religious theocracy, like Pakistan or something. They’re always quick to make Christianity look like Islam while saying Islam is just fine out the other side of their slimy mouths.

Not a smart comment by Cruz... I don't think God will have a problem with it. As for the author of this Ted Cruz hit piece, I could care less what he thinks.

The last caller, on why many Christians are going to Trump: The Puritans were conservatives, and they thought socialism would work.

When any Christian thinks of himself as more important than Jesus, then they’re not really a Christian at all. Ted’s got this right!

I’m sorry, but Jimmy Carter also ran on the ‘Christian’ tag . . . he liked to tell us he was ‘born again’ . . . and repeated it in his Playboy interview.
And we know how that turned out.
A Christian is usually best known by his actions . . . not his words.

Cruz is professing higher loyalties than the United Statesâ odd for a candidate who has repeatedly accused Muslims of doing much the same thing. Not odd at all if you don't try to deny that America and its Constitution are based on Christian values.

odd for a candidate who has repeatedly accused Muslims of doing much the same thing. It isn't much the same thing. Christianity is part and parcel of our civilization. Islam is not. I am with Cruz on this. It's my personal position too.

Another mistake.
He is sounding more like Huckster everyday just to win a state that is probably NOT going to vote for him in General
