Cruz's strong Zionism combined with traditional views on social issues is a 'natural fit' for Orthodox Jews in the U.S.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, a hardline conservative and practicing Southern Baptist, is carving out a niche with Orthodox Jews — a "potentially winnable slice of an otherwise deeply Democratic demographic," Politico website reports.

I hate these phone pads with small keys, bad eyesight, and auto checkers with a mind of it’s own.

I don't mind browsing on my smart phone or my tablet, but I refuse to post to FR or any other forum on those devices.

I don't care how much I want to weigh on something, it can wait until I get to my desktop.

But he’s a freshman with a sparse record as a Senator. Naturally, that’s not his fault since he hasn’t been a senator long enough to attain a significant record of accomplishments.

No different from nobama at this time in history.
