Introduced as, "from wacko bird to "soaring eagle" - Ted Cruz at the Iowa Republican Party Reagan Dinner - Cruz's talk starts about 30:00 into the C-SPAN video.
About the 1:00 mark of the video he starts talking strategy: the path to victory - dont take advice from the New York Times on how the Republican party can save itself - we need to unify - we need to come together - growth and freedom are principles and ideals that unify the Republican Party - the evangelical community with the liberty movement, with the business community - growth and freedom bring together Main Street and the Tea Party.
If we get back to our core principles thats how you reassemble and keep strong Ronald Reagans 3 legged stool....... then he describes how it has been done (wrongly in recent losing elections) and how that didnt work - got our clocks cleaned (except the grass roots campaign in 2010 and our stand against Obamacare and for growth and freedom won elections up and down the ticket)............you dont win races by keeping your heads down......
Poppycock: run to the right in the primary and run to the middle in the general - if you do that you destroy every reason for voters to show up and vote for you...... Cruz continues in the vein of why this fight is worth it (worth a listen). We must focus on opportunity - the biggest lie is that the Republican Party is the party of the rich..........continues.....
