Using overwhelming air power to utterly and completely destroy ISIS. To put things in perspective, in the first Persian Gulf War, we launched roughly 1,100 air attacks a day. We carpet bombed them for 36 days, saturation bombing, after which our troops went in and in a day and a half mopped up what was left of the Iraqi army.

Congress needs to send a strong signal that direct communication with the leader of the free world is a privilege, particularly for a regime that has been as hostile as Iran has been towards America for more than three decades. President Rouhani needs to take these two simple steps to demonstrate good faith before any further discussions.
Ted Cruz

ISIS and Iran have declared war on America, and we need a commander in chief who will do everything necessary to keep our children safe.

I promise you, Donald [Trump], there's nothing about you that makes anyone nervous.
Ted Cruz

If the problem is Washington is corrupt, why on Earth would you want to give more power to Washington?
Ted Cruz

If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be that guy. But if you want someone to drive you home, I will get the job done and I will get you home.

It took Jimmy Carter to give us Ronald Reagan.

You know, back in the '70s — I remember the '70s, we were told there was global cooling. And everyone was told global cooling was a really big problem. And then that faded.
Ted Cruz

Today, the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers. It used to be [that] it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier.

I've spent the past month in Washington D.C. and it is terrific to be back in America.

It is worth emphasizing that Iran released our hostages in 1981 the day Ronald Reagan was sworn into office.
