During an appearance on Wednesday night in Livingston County, the Texas Republican conflated old-fashioned Reagan Democrats -- a phenomenon born in Macomb -- and newly influential tea party elements in the GOP.
Here's how the Livingston Daily described the scene:
"Speaking to a room full of Republicans, Ted Cruz told them his presidential campaign would target Democrats — Reagan Democrats.
"'We're going to rebuild the old Reagan coalition,' the Texas senator said Wednesday during an appearance in Howell.
"But Cruz also served up plenty of modern day red meat for Republicans during his appearance during the Livingston County GOP's Lincoln Day dinner.
"He vowed to 'repeal every word' of both Obamacare and Common Core and pledged to 'always, always, always' defend religious freedom."
