Cruz is passing himself as the ultimate fundamental Christian. Isn’t part of their religion an expectation to tithe?

You nailed it.

If he didn’t pass himself off as our moral leader, I wouldn’t have much of an issue with it.

Christians, especially born again Christians are commanded to tithe and Cruz has a million, two in base salary

That is correct. If a person goes to a church and even joins one, it is unfair to that church for you to stiff week after week. The church needs to keep the lights on and perform its responsibilities to the congregation and is missionaries.

Tithing is a private matter, perhaps Cruz doesn’t document what he gives.

Sounds like legalism.

Trump is passing himself off as a Christian. I bet you aren’t at all bothered by that.

Do you have specific New and Old Testament references in mind for supporting that doctrinal assertion?
