And this gives him how many new votes? I no longer support Cruz but look at this as preaching to the choir and not expanding his base. This is why he is and will lose.

WHY I HAVE AN ILLUMINATED CROSS AS A PROTEST

When are those so called democrats who are really “democratic” in name only and belong to a political party which espouses one perfect world socialist state ever going to be called out on their core beliefs ?

Democrat core beliefs showed up with booing the mention of God in 2012 at their national convention which made it official.

They’ve declared a war on religion because it opposes their agenda. Particularly Christianity.Which I for one now have an illumiuated crucifix at night in my front yard facing the street (Highway) as a statement. And encourage others do as well

A DEMOCRAT apparently doesn’t believe there’s such a thing as the Ten Commandments, or sin, because everything that leaves their mouths is a lie. Democrat lying is part of their core belief . Never mind the abuse of their positions promoting crony capitalism campaign contributers who took our money to finance alternate energy plans spending billions that went belly up at our expense while leaving our infastructure to fall apart......

And lets not forget the other trap being politically correct.. Which is nothing more than a perverted effort to silence opposition to a socialist agenda.

Because Cruz should pander to other people to expand his base?

I guess I get how this perhaps turns some off. But I am also relatively sure that a guy probably smarter than the both of us, definitely smarter I am guessing when it comes to campaigning,and who has always wanted to build a coalition of numerous and varying stripes will do just that, or at least attempt to.

Cruz should not be faulted for emphasizing something he feels is one of the biggest problems in the country. Just as Trump, whom I don’t trust, still should not be criticized for emphasizing immigration in his campaign over and over.

It is not pandering to address the issues of the day, even if the candidate's view is different. Honesty and transparency over pandering of lies, which Cruz has been accused of recently.

My point is that Cruz speaks to a base that he has or is sharing with Huckabee, Rubio, etc. What is he doing to build a base of support beyond that narrow niche of Republican voters? Nothing.

And your proof of this is ...?

Don’t be bashful, cough up your sources.

So I guess you now live in every conservative leaning home and know every voter personally, BECAUSE I don’t know how you have so much foreknowledge to know how this race will shake out-or even what this ad will or will not do!?

And, of course, you are a master or primary/caucus politics ... or a know-nothing who demands to be heard ... or a troll.

Which is it?

Well then we disagree when you say, “even if the candidate’s view is different”, than unless I’m not getting what you’re trying to say right, that IS pandering, and perhaps even worse, LYING.

What issues of the day is Cruz failing to discuss?

Immigration? He talks about it.

Iran? He talks about it.

ISIS and terrorism and radical jihadists? He talks about them.

2nd Amendment rights? He talks about them.

The economy? He talks about it.

Obamacare? He talks about it.

If you really want to nitpick every single campaign ad a candidate puts out, or point to a particular one and say, “Why did he do that?”, well feel free I guess. Seems to me like you just decided to zero in on the one thing you felt comfortable and safe in criticizing him about though.

Good to see Cruz countering Huckster and Santorum with results not just words.

Cruz is the only top polling candidate courting Christians. Trump isn’t and rubio isn’t.

Has Trum said how he would protect Christians from the heavy hand of govt??

Let me help you out here. As a healthcare provider with social/professional contacts that number into the thousands who also happens to be Hispanic, I know of NO non-Republican Hispanics who support or will vote for Cruz. I have not encountered any Dims that support or will vote for Cruz. Ditto for self-identified Independents, of whom virtually none has given any indication of support for Cruz. On the flip side many of the members of the above mentioned groups have expressed interest, dare I say ‘excitement’, for Trump. The most common sentiment I hear is that folks have virtually NO TRUST for anything/anyone that reeks of Washington DC.

Absolutely agree. That is my observation as well. Trump gains support from all groups.

The conversation between Ted Cruz and Robert George, Ted's former law professor at Princeton, mentioned in this article has several sections that are fascinating for anyone interested in the views of an intelligent, genuine conservative running for president. I especially recommend the section that explores the topic of misapplication of judicial power in the gay marriage ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. Statements following the ruling by Justice Kennedy that Ted describes are very chilling.

I laugh at the recent statements of Santorum and Huckabee desperately attempting to drive a wedge between social conservatives and Ted Cruz on this issue. Watch the segment using the link below cued up to the time when gay marriage is discussed. Cruz's firm resolve is made very clear to side with state and local authorities that choose to defy the ruling if necessary and to overturn this illegitimate and unlawful ruling and return the issue to voters in each state where it properly belongs.

Focus on anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives and individuals. Everything else will take care of itself.

Don't support Cruz, don't seem to support FR ..... Just what do you support?

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

I don't blame Cruz for soft-peddling this issue. He needs to get elected, whatever it takes. Then, JUST LIKE OBAMA, he can "evolve" and change his mind to make marriage restoration his top priority.

LOL! And Trump’s absolutely laughable, pathetic attempt to claim Christianity with his childhood Bible, which he claimed is “his favorite book,” is going to earn HIM any points?

It made him look like an idiot.
