Christian Conservatives Coalescing Around Cruz

Ted Cruz is winning the Christian conservative vote reports the Washington Post.

Members of this core GOP constituency have long been torn between several favorites in the party’s crowded field. But many organization leaders have decided in recent days to line up behind Cruz because they consider him the best-funded and most electable social conservative in the race, according to several participants in the discussions.

He won the backing of a key evangelical coalition after a secret Dec. 7 meeting in which top national activists agreed to roll out a stream of endorsements, many timed for maximum impact between now and March 1, Super Tuesday, when a dozen states will hold primaries or caucuses. Eight of those states have significant evangelical populations, and Cruz is targeting them in hopes of emerging March 2 with the highest delegate totals of any candidate.

Since the Dec. 7 meeting, endorsements have been announced by influential figures such as James Dobson, a radio host who founded Focus on the Family; Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage; and Bob Vander Plaats, head of the Iowa Family Leader organization.

    Sounds like tRump and Cruz are about to start tearing each other apart. This could become interesting. Better stock up on popcorn.

      Sounds like the perfect republican ticket.

      I agree. Look for Trump to up the Jesus rhetoric.

        That will be sweet! Some of the snake-oil salesmen can fake the holy-roller lingo, Trump’s attempts at religious talk have been hilariously inept.

    This is the same basic cabal that put Reagan in power, and that turned out so well.

    congealing is more accurate – and the idea of evangelicals having secret meeting is hilarious if it weren’t so sickeningly evil in its reality.

    Teavangelists love oily personalities because they see them every week in the pulpit.

    There are real christians and there are fake conservative christians who work against everything Jesus was for.
