Ted Cruz booed off stage at Middle Eastern Christian conference

[Cory]

Here's the thing: He isn't actually talking to Middle Eastern Christians. The people who you are physically speaking to are often times not your target audience. He's talking to American Evangelicals. This has no impact spare that later he will be able to cite it as him "supporting persecuted Middle Eastern Christians". Nobody in his target audience will remember/know/care that he was booed by said people.
