I read the article and, frankly, there was no mention of exactly who these "passionate conservatives" are at all.
You see a lot of hype from former and erstwhile advisors and workers (shills) for the three that are discussed now, and you see GOP fundraisers and shills hyping up the "enthusiasm", but there is no "there" there.
If they were to try and connect the name "Cruz" with PASSIONATE CONSERVATIVES then I might believe some of the context. But this whole article is nothing but a cheerlead intended to dupe big money contributors IMO.
Here’s a God Fearing, gun toting, former Marine, Tea partier, Oath keeping redneck conservative...........
