I think such excess will backfire on Cruz.
I agree. Cruz is delusional enough to think this is working, but it will turn people off.

Both Cruz and Hillary need money, organization, and aggressive advertising to overcome their personalities.

I agree, but it doesn't always work. Just ask Jeb Bush.

A: Well, you can. And look, that’s your thing, and other people have their thing. We have to bring all people together."

At this point, the narrator’s voice, now taking on an incredulous tone, interjects: “Stop. What does she mean by ‘forward motion’? What’s he agreeing to?”

“It’s not about tolerance anymore,” the narrator continues. “It’s about mandatory celebration. It’s about forcing people to bake cakes and photograph gay weddings. Forcing clergy to officiate. It’s about transgender bathrooms in your child’s school. It’s about tearing down our Judeo-Christian values. It’s about tearing down our America.”
The recording ends with an ominous sign-off from the narrator: “Ted Cruz for president — now, before it’s too late.”

These kinds of misrepresentations of other peoples views is pretty much standard in GOP politics, its just that usually its applied against Dems, so Republicans don't even notice it. Now they notice it because it is applied against one of their own.

This also undermines Trump's claim to be broadly opposed to the left's politics correctness agenda. Clearly Trump's opposition to political correctness is selective and more in line with his "New York Values" than he would like to let on.
Yep. Trump is nearly as big a liberal as Hillary, maybe bigger. He's laughing he has so many of his groupies fooled into thinking he's even somewhat Republican let alone conservative. Look at his lies, support of Planned Parenthood and being pro choice, track record of donations to liberals and help to fund the gang of eight bill, support of Obama and Hillary and the fact he's switched parties FIVE times and was a Democrat just a few years ago. He's a pathetic liberal fraud.

I love all the Cruz supporters who keep believing he is going to not only win the GOP primary, but sweep the general election as well.
