More quotes by Ted Cruz
I'm a big believer that good policy is good politics. And so, when it comes to making decisions on policy issues, what I endeavor to do is simply speak the truth.
Ted Cruz
If you want to beat Donald Trump, you know, one of the clearest indications of who can beat Trump is Donald spends every waking moment attacking me. He doesn't attack any other candidates, because his campaign views us as the only real threat to him.
Ted Cruz
Two-thirds of Americans think our kids will have a worse life than we did. That is a powerful indication we are on the wrong path. I think we can change that, but I'll tell you, that's what I'm going to fight to do, and the reason so many grass-roots activists poured so much into it is they believed in our country. They believed in liberty.
Ted Cruz
President Reagan stood for conservative principles in a way that brought people together.
Ted Cruz
We need the private sector's help, because government is not innovating. Technology is running ahead by leaps and bound. The private sector will help, just as I helped after 9/11. But they must be engaged, and they must be asked. I will ask them. I know them.

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
Marco [Rubio] has more of an allegiance to Chuck Schumer and to the liberals than he does to conservative policy.
Ted Cruz
Social justice is group psychology, it's group rights, it's collectivisim, and it's a negation of individual responsibility, which is what the Bible teaches. Individual responsibility. And of course, social justice leads very quickly to socialism, and ultimately to communism.
Ted Cruz
Far too many young people are living in their parents' basements, and I think it is important for people to have hope and a vision things can be different.
Ted Cruz
Washington D.C. politics is like Hollywood for ugly people.
Ted Cruz
Everyone seems to have internalized the fact that you can say anything you want at a televised debate, and only a tiny fraction of the audience will ever see a fact-check. So why not claim the moon is square?
Ted Cruz
If the Republican Party stands for individual liberty, if we defend the Bill of Rights, if we stand for keeping this country safe, then we deserve to win, and if we don't, we deserve to lose. It shouldn't be - it's not just a game of blue team/red team. It is actually about making a difference in people's lives.
Ted Cruz
If the problem is Washington is corrupt, why on Earth would you want to give more power to Washington?

I recognize that folks in the press love to see Republican-on-Republican violence, and so you want me to say something bad about Donald Trump, or bad about John McCain or bad about anyone else, i'm not going to do it.
Ted Cruz
Marco Rubio was fighting to grant amnesty and not to secure the border, I was fighting to secure the border. And this also goes to trust, listening on to campaign trails. Candidates all the time make promises. You know, Marco said, he learned that the American people didn't trust the federal government.
