The Washington Post ^ | March 21, 2016 | Katie Zezima

When Ted Cruz headlined a recent fundraising luncheon in New York, the Baptist senator was presented with a gift: a menorah.

"It was very heartfelt," Mica Mosbacher, a Cruz supporter who was there, said of the feelings on both sides. "He strikes a chord with the Jewish community."

Cruz, the son of a pastor, has spent several years aggressively courting the support of Jewish voters, particularly those who are Orthodox. Touting his conservative views on Israel, his opposition to the Iran nuclear deal and his adherence to traditional values, Cruz has found a conservative niche in the Orthodox community in a Jewish faith that leans Democratic overall....

At his Seattle fundraiser last Summer, about 6 out of 60 folks wore yarmulkes.

He and the rest of the senate have done nothing to stop the iran deal. They are worthless and they are part and parcel of the Deal now that states the US MUST PROTECT IRAn from and Israeli attack be it military or cyber!

I hope Cruz tells everyone that he is the fulfillment of Mormon prophecy. After that he can tell them that he was sent by God to guide us thru the rapture, and that Scalia’s death was part of God’s plan to get us to vote for him.

This race isn’t over, not by a long shot.

Question: I’ll support whoever winds up being the nominee in November. Will the Trump supporters say the same thing?

It's the pandering to the various interest groups and the groveling for money.

Does that mean if he is your man to vote for will he listen to you or to the money? My inclination is that he is going to listen to the money, just like all the rest of them.

Ted Cruz has always supported Israel, and wasn’t it Ted Cruz who led a rally in Washington, D.C. against the Iran nuke deal.

Too bad there are only a few like Sen. Cruz in the Senate.

PRESIDENT Cruz will make our country, and the world, a far better place.

Cruz was supporting Israel and the Jews BEFORE he ran for election.
