The Texas senator blew away the crowd of conservatives with a finely tuned speech on religious liberty.
There are two full days left of the Faith & Freedom Coalition's annual Washington conference.
But Ted Cruz already won it on Thursday.
The Texas senator measurably outperformed his two Senate GOP colleagues, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, with a tightly woven sermon on religious liberty delivered with vigor and conviction. He was rewarded with the most frequent and loudest applause and the highest praise from the gathering of social conservatives at the Omni Shoreham Hotel.
It wasn't just the dramatic delivery that separated him on the dais, though it was his smartly tailored speech that began with a silent prayer for the victims of the mass church shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, and ended with a spontaneous leap off the stage into the center of the ballroom audience, where he was swarmed like a rock star.

I view Walker as a political animal, Rubio...OK, maybe, with reservations. I'm done holding my nose, the GOP has played me for years, no more!
I am not so sure Walker isn’t a Rino. He has lots of positions he has flip flopped on including immigration legal and illegal.
Rubio I feel is definately a Rino crossdressing as a conservative. Rubio was a protege of Jebs, joined at the hip for years. But Rubio has made a big era admitting he still supports illegals just that he realized he didn’t have the votes. Kind of like a killer saying I would have shot more people but I ran out of Ammo.
Cruz is the best except he wants to have 5x as many H1b visas as we have today. Why, at a net worth of 85 billion isn’t Gates rich enough? Don’t our own citizens deserve to get hired first. And the H1b guys have lowered the wages in every field that they work in.
Ping.
Ted Cruz Ping!
Daily Digest ;Ted Cruz Ping! Thanks for switching me. This is much better.
Your comment pretty much sums up my thinking on all three.
I would not trust Carly Fiorina on it. She hired so many Tata consultants that the remaining White employees of H-P took to calling it Hewlett-Patel.
