More quotes by Ted Cruz
I don't know that I'm in a position to give campaign advice to Donald Trump, given that he just whipped me in a primary.
Ted Cruz
I think the debate was really some powerful moments of clarity. We saw that Donald Trump, substantively, has the same issues on issue after issue as Hillary Clinton. He agreed with Hillary Clinton on Libya, toppling the government in Libya. That led directly to Benghazi, led to handing that country over to radical Islamic terrorism.
Ted Cruz
I don`t get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that will do it every time. Donald Trump, you`re a snivelling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone.
Ted Cruz
President Obama fuels that perception. That will change when militants across the globe see that when you join ISIS that you are giving up your life, you are signing your death warrant.
Ted Cruz
You can use data wrong. It's just like polling. There have been a lot of politicians who go conduct a poll to figure out what they believe.
Ted Cruz
I will fight to defend liberty.
Ted Cruz
When you had a terrorist, you could only search a relatively narrow slice of numbers, primarily land lines.
Ted Cruz
I can tell you is all nine of the people here [on debates] would make an infinitely better commander in chief than Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Ted Cruz
I think Hillary Clinton's nomination and I think Donald Trump's nomination, I think the media played decisive roles in both of them.
Ted Cruz
The USA Freedom Act expands that so now we have cell phones, now we have Internet phones, now we have the phones that terrorists are likely to use and the focus of law enforcement is on targeting the bad guys.
Ted Cruz
Ronald Reagan and Ron Paul had a message that was clear, it was principled, and it inspired. It was a vision for a future.
Ted Cruz
We need a president who stands up, number one, and says, we will defeat ISIS. And number two, says the greatest national security threat facing America is a nuclear Iran.
Ted Cruz
One of the things we've seen here is how easy it is for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to get distracted from dealing with radical Islamic terrorism. They won't even call it by its name.
Ted Cruz
There's a real danger when people get distracted by peripheral issues. They get distracted by democracy building. They get distracted about military conflicts. We need to focus on defeating jihadism.
Ted Cruz
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan understand that government does not create jobs. Entrepreneurs do.
Ted Cruz
The [Barack] Obama administration has both their hands in your pocket. They're trying to take every hard dollar you make to give it out in handouts to buy votes.
Ted Cruz
I do think if we take the power out of Washington and bring it back to the people, if we defend the Bill of Rights, free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, privacy, if we repeal Obamacare, abolish the IRS, if we get Washington out of the way of job creators, I think we can transform this country.
Ted Cruz
The one thing that might have stopped San Bernardino, that might have stopped 9/11 would have been stricter controls on those who came here.
Ted Cruz
We should be breaking down barriers, not building walls.
Ted Cruz
You know what the [Barack] Obama administration keeps getting wrong is whenever anything bad happens they focus on law-abiding citizens instead of focusing on the bad guys.
