Ted Cruz Assails Democrats at Midterm Convention

“Sen. Ted Cruz gave a red-meat speech at the Republican convention on Thursday in which he accused the Democratic Party of succumbing to ‘communists and Islamists’ who hate Christians, Jews, capitalism and America,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“It carried on a theme that speakers have echoed over the two days of the Dallas event, in which Republicans are looking to paint Democratic candidates as extreme ahead of a tough midterm fight for control of Congress.”
