Wall Street Journal: “Rafael Cruz, a 76-year-old Cuban-American who fled the Batista regime in the 1950s, is a super-surrogate on the presidential campaign trail for his son. He is a practiced speaker who brings evangelicals to their feet—a powerful weapon for his son in one of the fiercest battles within the Republican nomination contest: The fight for voters on the religious right.”

“For the Cruz campaign, relying on the candidate’s father carries some risk. Rafael Cruz’s passionate Bible-laced rhetoric and provocative conservative barbs could alienate swing voters the Texas senator needs to broaden his appeal.”
