PHOENIX — Sen. Ted Cruz strode through a resort here, past booths selling elephant-print scarves, “gently loved furs” and rhinestone pins spelling out presidential candidates’ names — and headed straight into a crowd of screaming women.
“Oh, my God,” one exclaimed as she spotted Cruz walking toward her at the National Federation of Republican Women’s annual conference.
Cruz (R-Tex.) came here Saturday on a mission to court female Republican activists. His timing may be opportune: As front-runner Donald Trump has come under fire for a string of comments many see as anti-women, Cruz is trying to seize the moment to retain and expand his foothold in the GOP electorate.
He also is trying to disprove the axiom that a candidate with a largely evangelical and socially conservative base can’t win over women voters.
“I’ve gotta tell you, the women in here, this is a room of patriots,” he told the crowd in Phoenix. “This is a room of fighters. This is a room of women that stand up and win elections and are going to save this country.”(continued)

He’s had this lady on his side from the first moment I met him. I think he’s very impressive, and so right on the issues I care about.
Yes I don’t get that either. Why is someone surprised that women would support Cruz?? Are they still off on that war on women meme???
I was wondering the same thing. What is “unlikely” about women.
A pro life candidate better court female voters.
I second your exact post.
I wish I was still a Young Republican in NYC. Because there were so few of us, I got to meet all the big wigs of the Republican party back in the 80s - including Reagan. I would love to shake Ted’s hand. A fine man and politician!!!
Women? They’re only half the population. He should just ignore them. /S
They support the Rhino’s.
I think she will take a majority of the women's vote.
Oh don’t you know? According to the media Republicans should change their logo to Bill Cosby with a bottle pills in one hand and a bloody coathanger in the other. Katie can’t imagine women that don’t think like her.
I hope you think wrong. Carly is a RINO and big for amnesty. Why would any woman vote for her? They’d have to be losers like Carly.
...so why even try.
Trump will get a lot of the woman's vote. The femnazis will stay with hillary. I could see RINO women going to Carly instead of Jeb, since Jeb's not Alpha.
These are generalities, of course. But don't discount the effect a successful together can-do guy has on women, in spite of the femnazi BS.
Not unlikely at all. The majority of “women” regularly vote Republican.
The majority of Sandra Fluke whores and professional welfare animals, on the other hand....
Women are a single issue voting block! If you are pro-life then you are obviously anti-woman! Some man "gets her in trouble" and then refuses her a "way out".
Don't you read the Op-Ed pages?
Don't you listen to NPR and The View?
You must be one of those Neanderthal, male chauvinist pigs left over from caveman days!

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Unlikely my ass. Washington COMPost ping.
“I think she will take a majority of the women’s vote.”
Not mine. I don’t vote based on gender.
A truly liberated woman votes her conscience, not for whoever a flock of cackling hens tells her to.
And there are few males more in the “Alpha” category than Ted Cruz. One is put in mind of John Wayne, when Ted Cruz walks on stage.
The Donald is different from Ted Cruz - he has much more money.
But a lot of the same charm keeps leaking out all over the crowd.
He had me at the Beverly Hilton Poster.
According to the Marxist Media, women only care about abortion rights.
