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.

More quotes by Ted Cruz
We`re seeing something fairly remarkable happen on the political train. We`re seeing the Washington establishment abandoning Marco Rubio. I think they`ve made the determination that Marco can`t win. And they`re rushing to support Donald Trump.
Ted Cruz
The message that I am conveying to President Trump, to the Cabinet, to leaders in both Houses is real simple. Let's do what we promised. Let's deliver on the promises and if we do that, we'll win at the ballot box and if we don't, the people will hold us accountable for that too.
Ted Cruz
Every month, we get the reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that say even more people have given up looking for work.
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.
Ted Cruz
I get that the media wants us to play theater critics and critique every other proposal. What I`m focusing on are my own policy proposals.
Ted Cruz
I believe every human life is a gift from God and we should cherish and protect and celebrate them.
Ted Cruz
I will happily support anything that protects life.
Ted Cruz
I love Texans. And Texas is clearly the crown jewel of Super Tuesday.
Ted Cruz
Young people want someone to tell them the truth. They want to be inspired.
Ted Cruz
You don't hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don't think that belongs in politics.
Ted Cruz
It's really remarkable to see two candidates,[Donald] Trump and [Marco] Rubio, making things up and putting things out for which there is no evidence and no basis.
Ted Cruz
What I'm encouraging President Trump and the Cabinet and congressional leaders to do, is let's keep our promises. Let's do what we said we would do, and that's what each and every one of you can hold all of us accountable for.
Ted Cruz
We need a president that shows the courage that Egypt's President al-Sisi, a Muslim, when he called out the radical Islamic terrorists who are threatening the world.
Ted Cruz
One of the problems with Marco's [Rubio] foreign policy is he has far too often supported Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama undermining governments in the Middle East that have helped radical Islamic terrorists.
Ted Cruz
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
I had a back-and-forth where I asked Donald Trump, is it true or false that he said the government should pay for everyone's health care? He said it's false. Listen, within minutes, we put out a video just contrasting what he said there with video of him just a few months earlier saying exactly the opposite.
Ted Cruz
Washington D.C. politics is like Hollywood for ugly people.
Ted Cruz
What I think is at stake in 2012, is whether the five or six strong conservatives elected to the Senate in 2010 become 10 or 12. And if that happens, it will fundamentally shift the character of the Senate. It will shift the balance.
Ted Cruz
I've spent the past month in Washington D.C. and it is terrific to be back in America.
Ted Cruz
Any Republican, especially any conservative, expects the media to be hostile. That's just the reality of being a Republican. You've got to be prepared to deal with that.
