Honestly, the GOP needs to cave on certain social issues. It is very obviously holding them back. Gay marriage and legalization/decriminalization of weed particularly.
I think you're going to see it during this election cycle. Cruz, Rubio, and Paul all say State's rights on both issues.
I think it equates to " I don't like it, but taking a stand against SSM and drugs will be on the losing side, so go for it"
Better than the flip flop from Obama and Hillary in 2008-2013. At least it's a constitutional stance and not pandering.

Cruz won't . Just look at where he announced if you have any questions of his target demographic.

Cruz has said he would oppose weed legalization in Texas.
Both should have been state's issues all along. The only reason they are national is due to the open interpretation of the Interstate Commerce Clause. So thanks FDR. Without you, we wouldn't have had the war on drugs to begin with. For those of you who would challenge this assertion: Before FDR, it took a constitutional amendment to outlaw booze. Outlawing Marijuana at a federal level in 1937 only required a regular law.
