Ask yourself who was actually more of a Christian over the last 4 years. Was it Pence and Cruz who just handed the country over to Biden and stabbed the MAGA movement (that means you) in the heart, or has it been Donald Trump?
Pence and Cruz have a more Christian like demeanor being calm and quiet, but what good did that do in the end? In the end it was the loud boisterous man who wore his feelings on his sleeves that acted the more Christlike.
Trump isn't perfect, but he is at least trying to help us. Remember that next time you go to vote. Don't assume that the most well behaved and reserved man (or woman) who is parading around as a good Christian is going to actually be a good Christian. They are all politicians. They are all liars and deceivers. Like with Trump, it may be that the one with flaws and a rowdy attitude may end up being the most Christlike of them all.
Coming from me, I didn't know anything about Cruz before 2016 and neither did those around me and he sure fooled us. Of course we weren't as vested in politics back then as we are now. I was anti obama, but still young enough to not care and with mittens and McCain I just never had anyone to give two cares about before.
I mostly remember first hearing of Cruz from the 2013 Government Shutdown. I barely followed this stuff then either, though. I think that was also the year the cover was blown on PRISM; When I went from neutral to against Obama.
