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 party’s 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 party’s various factions at each other’s 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.
"They will do everything possible to fragment us and pit us against each other because if we come together, it's game over," he added. "The cartel only knows one thing — how to extort power and money to get what it wants, and if I were elected president, it will stop." A Fox News poll released earlier this week found Cruz near tail end of support among the crowded Republican White House field.
The Texas lawmaker garnered just 4 percent support, well behind former

Your BS and the libertarians not voting in the Pres election gave Obama two victories. You folks cannot even tell the damn truth.
An Air Force type who sat in a tower as opposed to bombing the North wears Barbie pants. The Air Force pilots and crew who flew us in RVN were the 20th SOS. They saw real combat. Fleming got the CMH for 11/26/68. He was not in an air control tower.
That has been said, but; it would start a war.
lol...Bingo! What we need is an English major.
Maybe then, the President could sit in from of Congress, along w/ SCOTUS and diagram lawyer speak to show ‘em what a bunch of non-reading, non-comprehensible, blow-hard shit-eaters the majority truly are.
Sorry, no. I was you and your RNC given everyone the choice between writing-in/3rd party, a cow-sh!t sandwich, a horse-sh!t sandwich...or staying home.
PLENTY did the last, and those of us not blind/stupid enough to eat up, simply did the 1st.
Don’t expect help for “whacko bird.” He is yours along with his queer hoteliers in NYC.
Are you in high school? Seriously get some education. Please don’t tell me about your liberal arts BS.

The Republicans prop up liberals.
I don’t want someone with “management experience” who is not nearly conservative
punks.
You have a smart ass comment for anyone who does not like Cruz. Sad as Cruz is mental.
If you were being at all reasonable as a conservative, your criticism of Cruz would bear a smidgen of some, any reason for your disagreement. It seems you prefer adolescent schoolyard taunts and name calling. Why not illuminate as to why you dislike him. He certainly is not “mental”, yet there is definitely a reason you dislike him...why not share instead of ranting?
I criticize Cruz .
I get the childish comments like you just made. You had best face reality that Cruz is not as well liked as you think. He received around 100 votes in the Denver straw poll which was 1/2 of what Walker got. I am not that impressed with Colorado as it is Liberal. I have stated fact about Cruz and no his classmates at both colleges thought he was arrogant. I see him that way and many others do. You Cruz fans love to trash Walker posts, trump posts, and every other candidate., but; honest criticism of Cruz gets your panties in a wad.
