G.O.P. must teach Evangelicals mixing Church and State weakens both

The G.O.P. needs to teach its evangelical right that this country was founded on the principle of separating church and state, a lesson taken from the dysfunction of the European regimes we came from and which is that mixing the two weakens both the state and religion.  George Will says that "If Trump Nominated, Then G.O.P. must keep him out of the White House" and then makes the case for Ted Cruz. For conservatives Trump lacks ideology other than for himself. But while Cruz's study and adherence to our Constitution is formidable and on the face of it attractive to conservatives he forgot the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of the individual to which the Constitution was drawn up to serve and protect. His full embrace of evangelical nonsense is even more destructive to conservatives than Trump's candidacy.
