I think that is why we're seeing conservatives uniting behind our campaign, because I have a proven record as a consistent conservative of standing up to Washington and fighting for the constitution.
Ted Cruz
Image
I'm a constitutionalist. You know, does faith matter to me? Sure. But the beauty of the Constitution, the beauty of the First Amendment, it protects everyone's faith.
Ted Cruz
Image
What I believe is that we should defend life.
Ted Cruz
Image
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
Image
If we topple [Bashar] Assad, the result will be ISIS will take over Syria, and it will worsen U.S. national security interests.
Ted Cruz
Image
The [Barack] Obama administration wants to take our rights to keep and bear arms away from us. They are trying to take our God, and our gun. And if they do that, they can impose a dictatorship upon us.
Ted Cruz
Image
I do think we should be focused on substance and record. If you want a candidate who opposes amnesty, who opposes citizenship for the 12 million people here illegally, I'm the only candidate in the race who opposes that.
Ted Cruz
Image
In the Second Amendment, it's not about hunting, it's not about target shooting, it's about protecting your home and your family and your life.
Ted Cruz
Image
What I endeavor to do is shine a light on what happens at the court, both as a law clerk and then as a litigator litigating and winning major cases in front of the Supreme Court over and over and over again.
Ted Cruz
Image
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
Image
If the problem is Washington is corrupt, why on Earth would you want to give more power to Washington?
Ted Cruz
Image
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
Image
When Donald Trump is in trouble, he starts yelling, he starts screaming. He starts insulting. He starts cursing.
Ted Cruz
Image
People are fed up. They are fed up with what's happening in Washington. They are fed up with both parties. They are fed up with politicians who have lied to them.
Ted Cruz
Image
We need a consistent conservative, someone who has stood for free market principles, who has stood for the Constitution and, critically, who stood for the working men and women of this country.
Ted Cruz
Image
I do believe, in the long term, we will either get back to the principles that built America or we lose this country. And I'm an optimist.
Ted Cruz
Image
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
Image
It's not a lack of competence that is preventing the [Barack] Obama administration from stopping these attacks. It is political correctness. We didn't monitor the Facebook posting of the female San Bernardino terrorist. She made a public call to jihad, and they didn't target it.
Ted Cruz
Image
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

What the USA Freedom Act did is it did two things. Number one, it ended the federal government's bulk collection of phone metadata of millions of law-abiding citizens.
