So if he's in favor of "strengthening Social Security", does that mean he's in favor of ending the 2% payroll tax cut?

The 2% cut isn't affecting the Social Security funds. It's being made up from general revenues. There were plans to make it up, but they didn't pass Congress.
"The final version of the payroll tax cut extensions does not include any offsets to pay for them. There are no brakes on spending. There’s no millionaire tax. There’s no “recapture” tax. And indeed, there are no new fees on home mortgages."
