Ted Cruz Releases Statement on the Debate
Ted Cruz via Facebook ^

Posted on 09/27/2016 3:52:05 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Tonight, a clear contrast was drawn between the two nominees. Tonight, Hillary Clinton made it clearer than ever that if elected President, our future will continue on the same path that is hurting millions of Americans. If Clinton is elected, we know that the havoc Obamacare is wreaking on American families, on small businesses, and on our healthcare system will continue. We know that President Obama’s relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry and to wage war on coal will continue. We know that the Obama administration’s willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism and the influx of unvetted refugees from nations infiltrated by terrorists will continue. We know that President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty will continue and even expand.

If Clinton is elected, we know that a liberal justice will be named to fill Scalia’s seat and we will lose the Supreme Court for a generation. With that, we know for a certainty that our right to keep and bear arms, our religious liberty and federalism are in danger. Tonight we received insight into what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like for Americans. We know that her policies would kill jobs, reduce wages, and continue the downward spiral our country has endured under President Obama.

Tonight, Donald Trump had his strongest debate performance of the election cycle. He drew strong contrasts with Hillary on taxes, regulations, law and order, and the disastrous Iran deal.

Rather than Hillary's America, we need to take a different path. A path that would begin to restore our country from the damage it has suffered the last eight years. We need to unite to defend freedom and restore the Constitution. And Hillary Clinton made absolutely clear tonight she would not do so.

I don’t know if he will or not, but if Cruz does then it’ll be because he thinks it’ll help him and not because it would help Trump or the party. And if Trump wins then Cruz will not be a reliable ally in the Senate.

You may be right, but if this gets some of his followers who were, up to a few days ago, going to sit out the election, to get off their butts and vote Trump, I’ll take it.

It might not be NEEDED, but even if we don’t need these votes to win, it would be awesome to run up the score on Hillary and the media. The more votes we beat her by, the more we shake their power base.

Cruz lost his chance to be relevant at the convention.

Ya I was starting to get a sense of that....moved to Texas a year ago and I'm still trying to get the lay of the land politically speaking.

Thanks for confirming what that funny smell was.

“Cruz has a lot of supporters on this site. Many were ‘Never Trumpers’ who might now vote Trump based on this change.”

Spitting at people who are supporting your side is almost always a bad idea in politics. Even if they didn’t support you before.

I’m pleased to see this rift in the conservative movement starting to heal.
