True. And it is a pity that Cruz is out of the race because he's just the guy to get his ass handed to him in a general election. Regardless, I think it's safe to say that the Christian Right's political clout at the national level is tanking. They had Carson, Huckabee, Cruz, and others all ready to assume the mantle of God's Chosen Candidate, and they couldn't get any of those nags to the finish line. Before long, they just might have to go back to rendering unto Caesar those things that are Caesar's, rendering unto God those things that are God's, and otherwise being apolitical and shutting the fuck up, like in the good old days before Reagan's rise to the White House. It's not like it would be a great loss. The only thing conservative Christian politicians have demonstrated any aptitude for is drafting and passing state legislation that goes down in flames in the federal courts.
