[presence]

Tony Perkins and FRC have led the way in defending religious freedom in the public square, protecting the unborn and their mothers, defending and strengthening one man/one woman marriage and promoting pro-family public policy. Tony hosts a daily national radio program, "Washington Watch with Tony Perkins," and broadcasts a daily commentary heard on over 300 stations nationwide. His daily email, the Washington Update, is sent to tens of thousands of grassroots activists. An effective communicator, he frequently appears on national broadcast and cable news programs.

"Those are the two," Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said of Cruz and Huckabee.

Cruz and Huckabee both have been courting Perkins, who's regarded as the chief rainmaker in evangelical politics.

Cruz was like a hyper lawyer roaming the stage and making a factual argument to a jury.
Huckabee was like a friendly preacher speaking from the pulpit and appealing to emotion.
Just two totally different styles.

"Huck just connects"

Blah. Those "evangelicals" who think they know what this country needs need to step aside for those of us who actually do.

I'll compromise with the clueless and accept Rand Paul for President. I'd much rather not have one

I stumbled across this recent dustup between Randal and Tony.

Perkins didn’t reach out to Paul or his staff before making the remarks, according to the adviser (For Sen. Paul). “He reaches out when he needs a speaker for his conferences, but apparently not when he wants to attack Sen. Paul for no good reason.”

Cruz and Huckabee

Hillary campaign workers. Spoilers and losers.

Oh, please. This man is no "kingmaker", I bet 90% of the public have never even heard of him.

Cruz and Huckabee are clowns, and neither will be elected President in 2016.
