This is so true. I wouldn’t right him off just because he isn’t trying to fight a losing battle in his state.

This isn't about his state, he wants to be POTUS, and he has made it clear that he does not intend to fight for this issue in the future.

He has surrendered and walked away from another conservative fight.

“surrendered and walked away from another conservative fight.”

OK, but what about how he stood up against the unions and won. That is impressive.

I strongly support Cruz.

But I also do fear that as a practical matter, gay marriage is here.

It is in Oklahoma, and hardly anything has been done to roll it back.

I think the reality is that it is with us for the foreseeable future...

But I think we have to say, well, just because we lost on that issue, does that mean we have to lose on every issue?

I hope not. And yes, that is pragmatic, I suppose...but the whole country has gone very gay friendly. I see us now as being stuck trying to figure out how to save some shred of civilization in spite of that fact.

Perhaps I’m wrong though.....
