HE could WIN. He says give a path to legal status but no citizenship. That’s fair.
He says let the stats decide gay marriage. That’s fair.
He is not falling for stupid questions about being invited to gay pizza weddings. He would DESTROY the beast in a debate.
CRUZ!!!!

I’ll agree with the line about the DMN and the DB being very poor places to find informed writing about anything religious beyond the not so Revs. Jackson, Sharpton, and Wright.

Just from the headline, 2DV, I’d say: the evangelical is not the “fringe”.

Yes, though, Cruz must go beyond evangelicals to win.

Looking for Hillary to get in bed with her feminist fringe group.

It means that they are afraid of him for certain.

I certainly have found out that neither Ailes nor FOX s-nuze will give any credence, so he must fail their over-all test as a conservative - my guess is that he's "too Evangelical" for the likes of Ailes and the "FOX 'All Stars.'"

They continue to pretty much fail to utter his name, which tells me they FEAR Cruz and don't want their viewers to learn more about him - from him!

.....and that's saying something!

Fox News is only “conservative” as compared to its competitors. It’s not what you or I would consider conservative. Any network that employs people like Geraldo, Juan Williams, Karl Rove, Alan Colmes and dozens of others like them is not conservative.

Given the fact the professors at Harvard Law School lauded Cruz's debating style, if he gets the nomination he would put Hillary out of business in one debate.

And everyone knows it--Hillary doesn't speak well "on the cuff" and with her dislike of people criticizing her and her known short temper, they really may have to put in a seven-second delay lest Hillary say one of the Seven Dirty Words when she gets flustered.

Cruz needs to get beyond evangelical voters. He needs to talk economy, freedom...

I wonder if Madame Hillary would go so far as to refuse to debate Cruz?

Of course, it wouldn’t be reported as an actual refusal, more likely it would be spun as a refusal by Cruz to agree to her terms.

If I didn’t know better, I would think that “evangelical” was a word made up by the MSM and the DNC to imply that someone is a nutcase religious zealot.

I CANT WAIT!! But I am afraid of what I am seeing as the conservative vote being split among Cruz, Rubio, Paul and HucksterBee. I wish some of these losers would drop out. I WILL NOT vote for Bush!!! I’ll hold my nose and vote for Rubio. I think Paul Is clinically insane.

Dittos and amen to all you say.

FNC also has some "sleeper cells" who attempt to hide their true character behind sounding somewhat "fair and balanced" with emphasis on the "balanced" part which we already don't need as everyone else is screamingly liberal!

I have been saying I expect that to happen. Would you want to debate Ted Cruz?

The elite media lives in Manhattan and doesn't venture out often, they cannot imagine what life is like not safely surrounded with liberals and sycophants. Evangelicals to them are like exotic animals that are seen on safari and at the zoo. In other words they would rather hunt us than allow us to live amongst them free from ideological cages. We are to them cute but scary. They are intrigued by us as a topic of polite conversation at their dinner parties as a novelty ---now please pass the hors-d'oeuvres!

Fox is more like liberal-tarian because when it comes to social issues they really are just as left as Clinton and Paul

100% agree. He is his daddy’s son after all and have you noticed the nutcase father in the background s proud of his son running on the same nutty platform as his father?
Only difference is that his son panders much more and lies much more to have it both ways, pretending to be a conservative when he is a conservative, hell even his voters think that .
