What Ted Cruz said behind closed doors
"A secret tape from a New York fundraiser could mean trouble for a candidate selling authenticity."
Ted Cruz changes spots according to whom he is trying to appease? Good or bad news for the outsider that is on the inside.
"In a recording provided to POLITICO, Cruz answers a flat “No” when asked whether fighting gay marriage is a “top-three priority,” an answer that pleased his socially moderate hosts but could surprise some of his evangelical backers." (audio on linked page)
"While Cruz’s private comments to a more moderate GOP audience do not contradict what the Republican Texas senator has said elsewhere, they demonstrate an adeptness at nuance in tone and emphasis that befits his Ivy League background. Indeed, the wording looks jarring when compared with the conservative, evangelical rhetoric he serves at his rallies, which have ballooned in size and excitement as he has moved to the front of the pack in Iowa."
