In a video posted by The Dallas Morning News to YouTube on Wednesday, 2016 Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) spoke about the controversy involving Indianas religious freedom law.
Cruz took aim at Democrats in particular for using the wedge issue of same-sex marriage for political gain, even at the expense of those with a good faith religious belief about marriage.
[H]eres whats happened, Cruz said. Which is it used to be there was a bipartisan consensus. Wed defend the civil liberties of Americans, even those we disagreed with. We defended the religious liberty of people to seek out other faiths, faith different than our own, because thats what this nation was built on.(continued)

Neither would I. I think a lot of freedom-loving Americans, including black evangelicals (not the Rev. Wright kind of faux 'Christian'), know the real thing when they see it. This man is the real thing.
I think the Hispanic vote would be more overwhelming than the black vote.
I am not saying all black Christians, because Jesus Christ knows his own, but many black Christians in the last 2 election cycles have sold their souls to Obama, they are beyond hope.
Speaking the truth.
Really, now he just needs to take the step to say that the whole gay marriage thing is really a non-issue to the left,
but simply a vehicle through which to use the State to persecute Christians.
Also, it wouldn’t matter where Christians drew the line - could be “OK with gay marriage, not OK with child sacrifice”, and the left would push for “child sacrifice equality”, in order to use the State as an instrument of persecution.
Cruz will stand out from the others.
I believe if not nominated for the GOP he could start another party
and still win the presidency.
Cruz will stand out above the rest.
The media will soon turn to ignoring him.
I believe he can overcome with Gods help.
We need to pray for him for humility before God
in a fight for earthly recognition and that his victory would
glorify God. If we do not glorify God, this nation is done.
Persecution of Christians by the state and the media.
The media can’t legally use force against people,
but they can sure make other people accept or demand that use of force by the State.
