Ted Cruz’s strategy is religious division and identity
politics, dominionism and nativism (yes a Canadian immigrant who doesn’t like
immigrants) to drum up support and is in many ways to the right of Donald trump.
Ted Cruz is a Dominionist, meaning that he supports all aspects of America
being subordinated to the Church, or rather the Church that Cruz agrees with
and the world being subordinated to America. https://newrepublic.com/article/121367/ted-cruzs-2016-strategy-starts-conservative-evangelicals
His plan, his new order, does not involve the majority of
America. He doesn’t think he needs them. He will when with the support of far
right Evangelical Christians.
In contrast to Bernie Sanders who is casting a wide net to get
voters where ever he can find them by appealing to all American Ted Cruz wants
a small dedicated following. It’s not an entirely bad idea. An organized
minority can be more powerful than a disorganized majority.
He knows though that conservative Evangelicals alone won’t
give him the White House. So he’s going for other groups, he’s trying to market
himself to Jews by talking about how he will unconditionally support Israel. He
has also come up with idiotic accusations that the Democratic Party is at war
with the Catholic Church. http://www.teaparty.org/ted-cruz-dems-waging-war-catholic-church-92531/
A testament to my theory. Is that he began his campaign at
Liberty University in Lynchburg which is essentially the capital of the
conservative Evangelical movement. Before I go on I’m not characterizing
Evangelical Christianity as a whole, I’m talking about the political movement represented
by the university. His campaign will be based on a religious and cultural movement
rather than appealing to America as a whole. What’s worse is that the movement
that will characterize his movement is totalitarian in its nature.
Seriously take this
into account, this is the kind of regime that would be foisted upon America if
he won and no I’m not talking about a new prohibition I’m talking about a mentality
of tyranny and control. The University was founded by Jerry Falwell. A man with
some disturbing beliefs, beliefs that might be strange for a citizen to have
but dangerous for a man who can push a button and launch a nuclear missile. He sincerely
believed that the wars going on in the Middle East were part of a biblical prophecy
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/zions-christian-soldiers/. By launching his
campaign at this site I can’t rule out that Cruz believes this to. At the very
least Donald Trump doesn’t believe most of what he says.
Anyone seen escape from L.A. It’s a 90’s movie so it might
be before you time. It shows a theocratic Falwell like president who sincerely believes
God wants him to deport people who don’t fit into his ideal image of
America(sounds familiar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdK7a8EuUPc) him to a prison Island and waging war world
wide(also sounds familiar.
The president from Escape from L.A.(does he look familiar to
you? He also has Trump look as well to him)
.
Now why am I interjecting my own dislike of this man into an
article that is supposed to be about the strategy of a candidate. The answer is
that his campaign strategy of us against them will create what was once
fiction. The end result will be this.

Fact will become fiction. One plus is I liked the movie
though I’m not sure I’ll enjoy living it.
Thanks for the YouTube link. The movie's president is a nice mix of Cruz and Trump!
