Last year Ted Cruz yelled at audience of Christians after being booed offstage. Video.

Since he is running for president of all of us, this should be in General Discussion. He says those who don't fully support Israel don't support America. An angry man.

Very true. What scares me is that I am learning that many of my tea party neighbors support him. He's their guy.

I am surprised Ben Carson is doing that well.

Trouble with polls is that the extremists get the vote out, often the more moderate ones do not.

who didn't like his expression of support for Israel.

I doubt that this will hurt him.

Adds to his creepiness for me.

Yes, the purpose of the group made that pretty clear...that they were probably mostly Arabs. When I heard John Ashcroft was on its board, I looked up the website..
