In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody on Monday, Ted Cruz said that conservative voters should back him over Donald Trump because "for seven years, we've had a president in the White House who has had a messiah complex."

Cruz went on to credit his presidential campaign with sparking a national movement to "bring this country back" and create "a spirit of revival" that's "sweeping this country."

"I fear for America," he said. "If we keep on this path there comes a point of no return and my prayer is that this awakening continues, that the body of Christ rise up to pull us back from the abyss."

After mentioning how campaigning has been "humbling," Cruz said that "we are going to, together with God's blessing and grace, pull America back from the abyss and it is this election that makes the difference." He then urged people who oppose gay marriage and abortion rights to back him in the Iowa caucuses.

America's at an '80s suspense flick?

17. Yeah, what is it with all these bat-shit right wingers claiming they have a direct line to

3. Oh Senator, the humbling is just beginning

Notice how Sen. Cruz talks this way only to certain media outlets? He doesn't talk like this to the chucktodds. I wonder if anyone in the popular media will ask him about the disparity? Also, would anyone please ask Sen. Cruz just what it is he means by "this path," and what his specifications are for the right path? He didn't handle that question about New York values very well; I'd guess he wouldn't be able to say three consecutive coherent words if there were some follow ups about his standard stump patter.
