Which is why this time is so discouraging to me. "We" got the conservatism option at the top, but the numbers do not look good at all. I voted Cruz in the primary, but, I cannot help but note that his "messaging" is not all that appealing to me. Sharing a platform with Glenn Beck really alarmed me. I can overlook that, but do not understand it. All I can discern is that he thought Christians could and would rise in his support, but they have not. In fact, people who claim to be Christian are supporting a man who never has repented of his sins.
I just managed to dump about 6 paragraphs of reply....The joys of unfamiliar controls on a forum ;)
But in condensed form, ...
Cruz mistook most Christians and most Americans for people of integrity willing to stand behind the crap they spout online and to their friends. The last several elections show that most on the right of America are no more Christian or American in actual deed than the king of Saudi Arabia. "Christians' today are thoroughly infiltrated by the left which is why so many are pro abortion/homo/immigration.
I think Cruz has little choice other than strange alliances since he cannot...CANNOT trust so called conservatives. I think his plan is to win and hold the libs that got him there at bay as best he can. Which would still result in less liberalism being enacted than if Trump wins.
Unfortunately that's a dangerous game to play. But the alternative is stand aside and allow a man with a thoroughly documented life history of leftist support and 'promises' of hard right' positions take power.
Which is why I upgraded my PC, bought a VR headset and am washing my hands of this bastardized mess liberals made of America. We are screwed even if Cruz wins and lives up to his promises because he will be stuck governing a country with almost no one but actual conservatives recognizing his presidency. The handful of us that still draw breath.
