Joke post?
Exactly how do you propose that Ted Cruz stop gay marriage in a blue state like New York? Under present circumstances Ted Cruz’s position on the matter makes sense.
Meanwhile your assertion that somehow Ted Cruz secretly supports gay marriage is laughable. The gay Gestapo wouldn’t be waging an unrelenting jihad against Ted Cruz if your assertion were even remotely close to being true.

I didn't say he could. But can he stop it anywhere. Would he stop it anywhere.

How does it make sense? In a few weeks the Supreme Court is going to nuke that whole line of thinking. What then? It makes no sense to parrot a line that died three years ago.

I didn't say he secretly supports gay marriage. I said his verbiage on it is a cop out. It's an indefensible position and he knows it. I have no idea what he really feels about gay marriage, but his "position" on it tells me that if he is elected he's not going to do anything to defend traditional marriage etc. I don't know if he could do anything to defend it if he gets elected. Maybe it's to late. His pseudo-cutting-the-baby is the kind of cynical excuse that's common to politicians, so I am not especially beating him up for that. But I don't see how it makes him some great defender of social conservatism. Sorry, his language doesn't make me think he will defend social conservatism. And maybe he's just being realistic. But what do you think he's going to do to defend traditional marriage if elected?

The Republican party has dropped all but the thinnest veneer of social conservatism.
