Religious Right Is Keeping Ted Cruz’s Campaign Alive

[GoLeft TV]

You’d think that a guy like Ted Cruz has absolutely no shot at winning the presidency, but coming to that conclusion means ignoring one of the most recent disasters in American history. That disaster, of course, was George W. Bush.

George W. Bush was able to win the election in 2000 by pandering to one specific block of Republican voters, and that was the religious right. Of course, we all know that Bush did not actually win the 2000 election, but the only reason that it even came close was because Bush cast himself as the most religious choice in that election, posing as the so-called “family values candidate.”

Fast forward 15 years, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing happen with Ted Cruz. While most of the Republican field is in the middle of a competition to see who can offend the most races, Cruz is meeting with religious leaders, securing multi-million dollar donations to his Super PACs.
