I have to disagree a bit here with Sen. Cruz. He says there is no room for Christians in today's Democratic Party. I would submit that there hasn't been room for Christians in the Democratic Party since the early 70s, at the latest.

Cruz is today’s Reagan.
Both barrels, no compromise, no where to hide for today’s progressives/liberals and RINOs.
When people hear the truth - they respond.
He has all my respect.

Too bad Catholics never got the message. Their Priests preach on Social Justice every Sunday promoting Marxism.

Senator Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told a gathering of conservative Republicans that there was no room for Christians in today's Democratic party, in a speech Saturday, according to reports. He knows how to grab a headline, and to space them out every few days.
Democraps can't argue this publicly without alienating their moonbat anti-Christian base.
Checkmate.

Imagine how powerful this message would be if it were believed and articulated often by ALL Republicans. Unfortunately, the “new tone” and “compassionate-conservative” wing of the GOP are embarrassed by these facts being aired.

Plenty of room, however, for people who like to call themselves Christians.

After Cruz, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee was best placed to benefit from conservative Christian support in the Iowa, the paper added. It's interesting that they used the word "placed" to described Huckabee's candidacy.
Huckabee has been pushed and placed into the race to take away Cruz's Christian support IMO.

Well, conservative Christians in Iowa went for Santorum in 2012. How does that not make Santorum ‘best placed’? Is there a theory that Santorum benefited from crossover Democrats in 2012?

But fewer and fewer are responding positively. Just those of us who've yearned to hear ANY politician speak what is obvious to us and true.

God worked it out.

As a Catholic who went to a Jesuit school, I agree with you. However, we have some good ones in the Dominicans and Franciscans. Besides, Methodists and Presbyterians are weak too.

Yes, because those were the days anyone could smile big, teach a Sunday School class, carry a Bible, occasionally mention "God", and could be considered a "good" Christian.
This was NOT the scenario when Carter ran the second time vs. RR and many evangelical democrats bolted the line and did not vote straight ticket. I know this to be factual on a very personal level.

I liked the persuasive argument Ted Cruz made to back up his assertion that there is no room for faithful Christians in the extreme, radicalized modern Democrat Party.
Cruz compared the unambiguous statement of Democrat President John F. Kennedy strongly supporting religious liberty with a vote of the 2014 Democrat-controlled Senate on a bill that would gut the Federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act following the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision. There were 55 Democrats in the Senate, and ZERO would stand for religious liberty.
The setup and portion of the Cruz speech where he makes this argument can be watched at this time queued link >>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrx2zbzL0Tg&t=8m25s
