cruz meet sparks apology

[Danzig]

He stressed the Cruz meeting wasn’t a fund-raiser, and “I never would have, I never will” support Cruz, who opposes same-sex marriage.

Reisner said he and Weiderpass “have been passionate and devoted supporters of gay rights,” and “the only way we make progress is to engage with our opponents. I don’t need to sit with Hillary Clinton and talk about gay marriage, they’re with us. We have to work with the difficult ones and show them we don’t have horns.”

ok, have more time.
yeah, i don't know if it was a fundraiser or not, or if they have other reasons to support cruz-or if as they say they just wanted to show him they 'don't have horns'.
that said, i think they could have found someone with the republican party more amenable to reason to speak with. i think trying to get cruz to consider changing his stance on that would be nearly impossible.
