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 last 15 years, there has been no recorded warming. Contrary to all the theories that they are expounding, there should have been warming over the last 15 years. It hasn't happened.

Ted Cruz
We should be breaking down barriers, not building walls.
Ted Cruz
Every parent is wondering, how do we keep our kids safe? We need a commander in chief who does what Ronald Reagan did with communism, which is he set out a global strategy to defeat Soviet communism.
Ted Cruz
When Donald Trump is in trouble, he starts yelling, he starts screaming. He starts insulting. He starts cursing.
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
What many of the Senate Democrats are taking as the lesson of this election was that Hillary Clinton is too moderate and they need to go more Elizabeth Warren, more Bernie Sanders, more extreme and on the fringes.
Ted Cruz
You don't have to solve every problem at once.
Ted Cruz
Carli Fiorina thinks the answer for Social Security and Medicare is...zero-based budgeting! Christ. People of a certain age are all banging their heads on the table right now.
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've spent my whole life fighting for free-market principles and the Constitution. That's not going to change.
Ted Cruz
The great thing about America is you can live according to your faith. If you're faith says don't use birth control then you don't use it.
