Cruz: I'm an outsider like Sanders
CBS News ^ | April 19, 2016 | Alan He

"I'm so excited to share with you what America has learned over the past few months. And it has nothing to do with a politician winning his home state tonight," Cruz said without offering any congratulations.

The Texas Senator spoke at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, the site of President Obama's speech 2008 on race and referenced the then freshman Senator famous "yes we can" slogan multiple times.

"Our sitting president ran on a slogan that should have been a great first step," Cruz said. "It promised us, 'yes we can.' Now it is time to take that slogan and put it into action."

In his speech, Cruz described the 2016 election as "the year of the outsider" comparing himself to Bernie Sanders. "I am an outsider, Bernie Sanders is an outsider. Both with the same diagnosis, but both with very different paths to healing," Cruz told the audience. That's a point that he makes occasionally at town halls but a departure from the usual Cruz speech.

Was a great speech. Obviously done for TV commercials by his SuperPac. Great uplifting speech.

I don't recall Cruz talking like this when he won his home state. He acted like it was the most momentous event in US history...

Vote Trump

As a person that has studied many business cases ......

Cruz is a micro-manager. He took on cases before the Supreme Court like if sex toys could be sold in Texas.

With the situation our economy is in (close to economic collapse), we don’t need a micro-manager (Jimmy Carter was a micro-manager). We need a MACRO-manager like Trump. Someone who understands the big picture and has a record of getting it done.

Sorry if that offends anyone but it’s just the truth.
