Cruz is working hard to woo evangelicals—and some hear God at his rallies.
"Cruz, who trails Donald Trump in the latest Des Moines Register poll released Saturday night, 23 percent to 28 percent, is courting social conservatives with what could be described as religious fervor. To beat Trump on Monday, polls show, Cruz has to turn out the evangelical vote and even woo supporters still loyal to neurosurgeon Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, and past winners Huckabee and Santorum. The Register poll showed 47 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers were evangelicals—but Cruz can essentially come up even with Trump if he brings that number up to 60 percent. And it shouldn't be impossible; in 2012, social conservatives made up 57 percent of caucus-goers."
