I prefer a candidate to worship a Christian God, rather than a statist government.
Diversity is protected by the Constitution. If you desire a candidate that will best represent and serve a very diverse nation, I suggest the best candidate is the one who has demonstrated through word and deed his devotion to uphold and defend that Constitution.
John Adams noted over two-hundred years ago that the Constitution was "wholly inadequate" to protect us from human nature "unbridled by morality and religion."

I think you misunderstand me - I am as sick of the career politicians and think Cruz is probably the best of the lot currently in the race.
All I am saying is that I would prefer a candidate who appears to be a constitutionalist first and a preacher second (if at all). In his speech, Cruz seemed to have those priorities reversed.
