Ted lit'em up once again at the Values Voter Summit..."You wanna know how much each of you terrify Washington? Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House. Y'all come to town, and somehow that changes. My only request is can you come more often! Tony, we need to schedule these weekly!"
"I want to come to you this morning with a word of hope and encouragement and exhortation. All across this country, the American people are waking up, and I'll tell you today, HELP is on the way! So, I want to ask everyone here to look forward, look forward to January 2017. If I am elected President, let me tell you what I intend to do on the first day in office. The first thing I intend to do is resend every single illegal and unconstitutional executive action!"Cruz also went on to address how he intends to deal with the corruption that extends throughout the federal government and what he will do on his first days in office. HINT: Lots towards religious liberty, security through freedom, economic prosperity, peace through strength and our commitment to Americans and her allies. Simply put, a return to exceptionalism.
LISTEN:
"The people are waking up. And let me tell you what Washington wants. Washington wants us divided. Washington wants conservatives splintered. They want a chunk of evangelicals over here, a chunk of conservatives over here, a chunk of libertarians over here, a chunk of tea party folks over here. That's how, if we are splintered, that a moderate establishment candidate runs up the middle with 23% of the vote, steals the nomination, and then loses to Hillary Clinton in the general election. You know what? We've seen that movie before. I'm not interested in going to see Rocky XIX. We have a simple task before us. If conservatives unite, we win.#CRUZ2016!
So I'm here to ask each and everyone of you, stand, stand in your faith, stand with your principles, come together. How do we turn this country around? Just like in 1980, we rise up as We The People, and we say we will defend this last best hope for mankind, this shining city on a hill that is the United States of America!"
