...But Cruz was skeptical that his opponents were committed to stopping same-sex nuptials.
"As much as there were crocodile tears shed in Washington yesterday on Obamacare, there were even bigger crocodile tears shed in Washington today on marriage," Cruz said.
That is a contrast Cruz made sure to highlight to nearly every voter he met in the Hawkeye State. The script at Dutch Bakery here was workmanlike: Shake the hand. Share outrage at the decision. Ridicule Republicans' public statements. Blast them for "popping champagne." Shake a new hand. (edit)
"I fully expect the drive for an Article V convention to get new energy and new steam," Cruz said in Sheldon when a voter asked whether he would back it.
By the end of the day, Cruz was bringing it up himself -- though always stopping just short of saying he would support the call for a convention.

"His decision yesterday and his decision a couple of years ago violated his oath of office," Cruz said. "He knows full well that he's changing the law and not following it."

Phony? Hardly. Brilliant Constitutional scholar and legal mind? Positively. The best candidate to handle the issue of judicial overreach? Positively.
One can only hope.
I would agree as I also see that.
If our observations are correct we will see GOD, "the Force", or whatever term you want to use, carry him through the storm to fulfill his destiny.
FYI, today Sen. Cruz was at Drake Univ— and stood behind a podium- and gave a considered dissertation- not his stump speech. It’s long!

What are you talking about?
“My credibility as a social conservative is shown by the fact I’ve never used profanity on FR and would never even consider doing so.”
There are worse things than profanity.
I did my undergrad at Michigan Technological University.
In the student union/commons was a mural with the lyrics to CSNY Teach the Children Well. It’s gone now.

With you 100%! I don’t smell a rat. I don’t smell a lie. I’m not blind. My vetting is done. At some point you make the call, direct and execute.
I’ll consider your comments though and spend a little more time pursuading.
