(Not many Mormons come out of Cuba, either.  But my daughter-in-law did.  And even more literally than Ted Cruz.)

As a Latter-day Saint, I’m highly sensitive to such tactics.  As an Islamicist, moreover, I was disgusted to see him invoke religious bigotry against Muslims, and appalled and disheartened to observe how well it worked for him.

Sigh.  He’ll probably go up another 10% in the polls for this.
