Do you think Jesus would win a Senate race today?

Was Jesus a venture capitalist without moral content?

He cleansed the temple of those that tried to use his name for profits.

Luke 3:11

"If you have two coats, give one away," he said. "Do the same with your food." 

I don't think Ted Cruz chased anyone out of the Republican Temple.

On Wednesday, Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst announced he was officially running for re-election for a fourth consecutive term. Though he lost a U.S. Senate primary run-off to Ted Cruz in 2012 (some charging he was too “moderate” a candidate to represent Texas in the upper chamber), Dewhurst is nonetheless by all accounts a bona fide conservative with a legislative track record to prove it. And if re-elected, he says, he’ll expand the policies that have made the Lone Star State the envy of the nation.

There was one Republican organization that did not support Ted Cruz. The GOP invested in Cruz to lead them into voting Republican in 2014 and 2016. The guy is from Harvard, they figured they could not go wrong. They don't realize the Hispanic Community in the USA benefits a great deal from Democratic principles, policy and programs. It is not about choosing a party for them, it is about choosing the American Dream and securing it.

Conservatives Acting Together for Political Action Committee (Catpac) gave Michael Williams $172,721 to run for the same Senate seat.

Conservative Renewal Action Committee (PAC) gave Dewhurst $513,000 to challenge Cruz.

Leppert received no endorsements or money from any PAC or Catpac. Cruz was going to be elected he just needed name and face recognition with the electorate in Texas.

Cruz's election to the Senate was never about morality or values; it was about creating an image the Hispanic American would vote for, even if that meant voting against their own best interests. I mean, nobody would vote against Jesus, would they?
