Ted Cruz: Americans are looking for leaders who aren’t going to Washington to be popular at cocktail parties

Surprisingly, CBS Evening News spent a few minutes interviewing Ted Cruz last night after his big win in Texas, and they spent a lot of that time talking about the Tea Party. It was a great interview and Cruz said a lot of great stuff, but my favorite line was when he was explaining what the American people are really looking for:

“But I think the American people are looking for leaders that AREN’T going to Washington to suddenly be popular at the cocktail parties. They’re looking for leaders to go to Washington to be public servants.”
