Most of the focus has been on Donald Trump - and we will continue to look his way - but there are other candidates including our junior Senator. Cruz believes that he is already the preferred candidate of the Tea Party wing of the party and is not hoping to become the same for the evangelical wing - the old moral majority. Then he'll try to reach out to other parts of the party in hopes of gaining the nomination.
Here's the latest on the wisdom of that move:
- Texas Tribune: Cruz to Lead 50-State Attack on Planned Parenthood.
- Texas Tribune: The Brief: Cruz Makes Play for Evangelical Vote.
- Washington Post: Cruz’s evangelical outreach shifts into high gear.
- Washington Post: Ted Cruz’s big problem: There isn’t really an ‘evangelical vote’ right now.
- Christian Science Monitor: To counter Trump, Ted Cruz aims to lead religious right rebellion.
