Ted Cruz: ‘I’m Not Running to Be Pastor-In-Chief’ [+video]
By David Brody. In an exclusive interview with The Brody File down in South Carolina, GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz says his Christian faith guides his path but has a message for those who think his, “Jesus talk” is too much. “I’m not running to be ‘Pastor-In-Chief.’ It is not the calling of a political leader to deliver the salvation message. That is the calling of us as believers, it’s the calling of a pastor but it’s a different role to be a political leader.” However, Cruz is quick to point out that he is NOT ashamed of the Gospel. “I am a Christian and the Word says if you are ashamed of Jesus He will be ashamed of you. I don’t intend to have that conversation with my maker.”
Our interview took place Thursday afternoon in Spartanburg South Carolina. Cruz was in town to meet privately with pastors at an event sponsored by the American Renewal Project. Our CBN cameras were on hand for that meeting and you can check out The Brody File for clips from the meeting.

Cruz App Data Collection Helps Campaign Read Minds of Voters
By Michael Biesecker and Julie Bykowicz. Protecting the privacy of law-abiding citizens from the government is a pillar of Ted Cruz’s Republican presidential candidacy, but his campaign is testing the limits of siphoning personal data from supporters.
His “Cruz Crew” mobile app is designed to gather detailed information from its users’ phones — tracking their physical movements and mining the names and contact information for friends who might want nothing to do with his campaign.
That information and more is then fed into a vast database containing details about nearly every adult in the United States to build psychological profiles that target individual voters with uncanny accuracy. (Read more from “Cruz App Data Collection Helps Campaign Read Minds of Voters” HERE)
