Ted Cruz on debate
Ted Cruz111 quotes“At the debate, Donald Trump backed off of his health care position for 20 years. For 20 years, he has agreed with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on socialized medicine, saying Obamacare doesn’t go far enough. He wants the government to pay for everyone’s health care and to control it.”

We need the private sector’s help, because government is not innovating. Technology is running ahead by leaps and bound. The private sector will help, just as I helped after 9/11. But they must be engaged, and they must be asked. I will ask them. I know them.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I appreciate the good work that senators in both parties have put into trying to fix our broken immigration system. There are some good elements in this proposal, especially increasing the resources and manpower to secure our border and also improving and streamlining legal immigration. However, I have deep concerns with the proposed path to citizenship. To allow those who came here illegally to be placed on such a path is both inconsistent with rule of law and profoundly unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who waited years, if not decades, to come to America legally.
Ted CruzTed Cruz If the Republican Party stands for individual liberty, if we defend the Bill of Rights, if we stand for keeping this country safe, then we deserve to win, and if we don’t, we deserve to lose. It shouldn’t be – it’s not just a game of blue team/red team. It is actually about making a difference in people’s lives.
Ted CruzTed 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 CruzTed Cruz I’m a maniac, and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly. And Ben [Carson] you’re a terrible surgeon.
Ted CruzTed Cruz The principles Donald Trump is focused on are exactly the right principles: more choice, more competition, lower costs, lower premiums.
Ted CruzTed Cruz One of the problems in Washington is there are far too many politicians who desperately just want to get re-elected.
Ted CruzTed Cruz The more liked you are in Washington, the less liked you are in the rest of America, and vice versa.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I oppose amnesty, I oppose citizenship, I oppose legalization for illegal aliens. I always have and I always will.
Ted CruzTed Cruz If we want to defend the country, we have to defend against who’s coming in.
Ted CruzTed Cruz The National Enquirer is complete garbage, it is total lies, it was planted by Donald Trump’s henchmen, and I don’t think the people of Wisconsin or the people of America have any interest in tabloid trash.
Ted CruzTed Cruz Everyone seems to have internalized the fact that you can say anything you want at a televised debate, and only a tiny fraction of the audience will ever see a fact-check. So why not claim the moon is square?
Ted CruzTed Cruz There are more words in the IRS code than there are in the Bible. And not a one of them is as good.
Ted CruzTed Cruz We are the change we’re waiting for.
Ted CruzTed Cruz Today, the global warming alarmists are the equivalent of the flat-Earthers. It used to be [that] it is accepted scientific wisdom the Earth is flat, and this heretic named Galileo was branded a denier.
Ted CruzTed Cruz I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll work with Martians. If – and the if is critical – they’re willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.

The one hour live debate in the West Wing that we did was one of the most exciting times for me on stage or on camera, because anything could go wrong.
