Ted Cruz gave a fantastic interview tonight on the Mark Levin Show and you can listen to the full interview below. I’ve posted the highlights below from his communications director:
CRUZ: "The omnibus is full of cronyism, full of everything except what Americans want. There is corruption in this town and it's bipartisan"
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: "Politicians think governing means ignoring what you told constituents you would do."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: "They drape their arm around you and say 'that's just what you say back home.'"
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: "They do not like when it becomes apparent they are not doing what they said."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: "The echo chamber in DC is lobbyists and people who cut checks. This omnibus is a payback. Those are the commitments they care about"
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: "There is a collective herd mentality that you can't stand up and do anything meaningful and you have to give in."
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
Cruz: in some sense, politicians are honoring their commitments….the ones they made to K Street
— Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: "If they want to come after me, fine. Knock yourself out. That is not my concern. My concern is honoring the oath of office."

CRUZ: Mike Lee and I accomplished what we set out to do: force a vote on Obama's amnesty
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: Every Democrat voted with Obama and that's why we fought this fight to ensure Congress went on record
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: GOP leadership was whipping against us
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: The real test is what happens in Jan or Feb. GOP leaders promise their strategy is to have real fight.
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: I will take them at their word…we will see 60 days from now if they are telling the truth
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: If we stop amnesty, no one will sing their praises greater than I
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: If you are thinking of running for President, stand up and lead. Engage in the great challenges…don't just remain silent.
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
This X million! CRUZ: "Nothing would make me happier than seeing strong leadership from governors and senators fighting side by side"
— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
CRUZ: The best way to see what someone believes is by looking what they have fought for, when have they bled
