More on candidate
The people will have the right to elect their representatives from a list of candidates [who have been approved by the Party].
Leon TrotskyLeon Trotsky I think God has blessed us. He has blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates. The Democrats can’t even find one.
Marco RubioMarco Rubio 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 CruzTed Cruz It’s not beneficial when you have a presidential candidate like Donald Trump, telling his supporters “punch that guy in the face.” I think everyone candidate ought to aspire toward civility, towards decency, towards bringing us together. I don’t think we should be using angry and hateful rhetoric.
Ted CruzTed Cruz If you want a candidate who is led the fight against Obamacare, who will lift the burdens on small businesses and bring back jobs, I’m the only candidate in the race with that proven record.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I think if you’re at home and you don’t want Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee, then the only candidate who can beat Donald is our campaign. And so I would encourage, even if you like another candidate, stand with us if you don’t want Donald to be the nominee.
