Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a 2016 presidential hopeful, says GOP leaders want to divide conservative primary voters so that a moderate candidate will end up being the partys nominee.
"The last thing the Republican leaders in Washington want to see is millions of Americans across the country mobilizing and coalescing around one strong conservative candidate," he told a crowd of 200 supporters in Iowa on Saturday, according to the Sioux City Journal.
Senior Republicans want the partys various factions at each others throats so "once again, they run right up the middle with 24 percent and nominate an establishment moderate who loses the election to Hillary Clinton," Cruz added.
"Here's what the Washington cartel wants they want us divided," he told voters in the state that holds of the first contests in the nominating process.

Ha! Was JUST gonna say something like that. Not a Cruz fan but I agree 100% with him on that one! SPOT on Ted. SPOT on.

You sound like you’re complaining.
Didn’t you say on another thread that when you hear or read about Ted it makes you want to puke, or something?
Then why are you listening to him?
Go listen to Hillary or Prince Jeb or go away!
Hey, Lumpy. You do know what campaigning is, don't you. 'Cause it doesn't seem like it.
You seem like you would be heck of a good guy if you didn’t seem to belong to that very cartel that Cruz is talking about.
Mr. Lump complains a lot about Ted.
I don’t think he likes smart ass college boys.
Cruz is the sharpest I have seen in my 52.
