Title: Trump: I'm an evangelical, Cruz is Cuban

Donald Trump tweeted Friday morning that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was planning an attack on him. He then questioned Cruz's religion and ties to Big Oil in comments Friday night.

"I am an evangelical. I'm a Christian. I'm a Presbyterian," Trump said to an Iowa town hall rally. In contrast, he said that while he personally liked Cruz, "not a lot of evangelicals come out of Cuba, in all fairness."

Trump may be feeling pressure from Cruz after the Texas senator snatched first place from the billionaire in a Monmouth University Poll released Monday. Cruz is also ranked first in the Washington Examiner's power rankings.

Trump went on to criticize Cruz's opposition to ethanol, saying it was because the first-term senator is loyal to the Lone Star state's oil industry who "give him a lot of money."

But for all the tough talk, Trump didn't say whether he would or wouldn't consider taking Cruz on as his vice president should he win the party's nomination.

There are less than two months until the Feb. 1 Iowa Caucus. Cruz and Trump's campaigns have said they will focus that time on connecting with voters in the primary state.

I haven't heard Presbyterians -- which Trump claims to be -- ever saying that they are evangelicals. They do admit to being Protestants.

It seemed like just another half-baked non-newsworthy remark by Trump that is getting way more media attention than it deserves.

I would like for someone to directly ask Trump if he is a sinner and has ever asked God for forgiveness or salvation through Christ. I expect someone will get around to it, sooner than later.

Well, of course they are Protestants, but I can't see how it can be said they are Evangelical.

I have to wonder if Trump even knows what that means.

Trump has looked masterful for most of his campaign on his attacks and counter-attacks, but these attacks on Cruz just look clumsy and mean. What's more, Cruz isn't taking the bait.

Trump needs to go after Hillary.

I have to wonder if Trump even knows what that means.

I think somebody like Roger Stone huddled with Trump over martinis, telling him the rubes will love him if he's all evangelicky.

Trump has a strange reluctance to discuss his own religion but seems to want to make fun of devout Adventists like Carson and Southern Baptists like Cruz.

I think it wears thin and Trump doesn't hold in Iowa. Then he looks weak in NH against Christie (who really is the kind of guy that NH will like).

Then all he has is South Carolina but only as long as he keeps up his evangelicky schtick for the rubes and hillbillies.

And Trump won't be getting all the free media then that he's been getting. It won't be so easy to utter some bilge and get a lot of attention.

I recall Giuliani at 65% approval rating in the fall of 2007 but then no one showed up to vote for him. And by the time Florida came along, it was all over. And Trump won't even have Florida to contest. There will be other deep Southern states, all in a row. And Cruz has good organization in nearly all of them.

I remember Giulliani being all the rage in the summer of 2007, and McCain was in single digits and so short on funds he was lugging his own luggage through airports. Fred Thompson caught on for a while, but quickly faded. Then as the primaries loomed, it was mostly Huckabee and McCain. After McCain won NH, he was pretty much a shoe in.

Giulliani bet his whole wad on Florida, ignoring the other states. When he lost there, it was over for him.

At least that's the way I recall the 2008 race.

Pretty much my recollection. Iowa swooned for Huck, the libs in NH GOP crossed over to vote for the Stain, the Stain capitalized on his NH win to grab SC and the party coalesced behind him before Florida. Giuliani got the message and dropped out quick.
