On Sunday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who is expected to be the first candidate to formally enter the 2016 campaign on Monday at Liberty University, called on “courageous conservatives” to help take back the country from elites who place their faith in government instead of the American people.
Appearing on Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, Cruz told host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that Democrats like “Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama believe in government” more than the American people.
“They believe that elites in Washington can govern every aspect of our life, Washington knows better and it needs to control the economy–it needs to control every basic detail of our lives,” he said.
In contrast, Cruz, whom the late Andrew Breitbart viewed as the future of the conservative movement, said, “I believe in the Constitution. I believe in the unlimited potential of free men and free women.”
He said “the miracle of America” is that “we have been a land for centuries where millions of people have come from all over the world with nothing and have been able to achieve anything.” Cruz added that “we need to reignite the promise of America” and “there is an incredible potential to do so if courageous conservatives will simply stand up.”
“I am convinced that courageous conservatives coming together can bring us back to the free-market principles and constitutional liberties that this country was founded on,” Cruz said.
When Bannon asked the Texas Senator–who has taken heat from the D.C. establishment for not wavering from his conservative principles, especially in his opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants and Obamacare–how someone who graduated from Harvard and Princeton can resonate like he does with working-class Americans, Cruz said it is because he always remembers where he camefrom.

Ted will destroy Hillary in the debates, assuming the RNC wises up and refuses to allow leftists like Candy Crowley to be the moderator.
I want my America back...I STAND WITH TED!
"I am Ted Cruz!"
The times demand a real fighter for conservative values, Cruz has proven himself consistently to be that man. I’m in for Ted!
Cruz/Walker?
Or is that asking too much?
God Bless Ted Cruz !
All ...
Go, Ted, Go!!!
Take a Cruz from Texas to DC!
Elect Cruz to return our country to the shining city on the hill. (Hope that is close)
One of the major problems with the 2016 election will be having both Cruz and Walker dividing the conservative vote IMO. If the liberals all stand behind one cacndidate they will win again. The issue of electronic voting machine manipulation keeps rearing its head again as well. We need oversight and integrity protocols to be established. Companies owning the machines and their officers need to be scrutinized for bias and manipulation as well. Tampering with the voting tabulation systems needs to have severe consequences. No more Gyorgy Schwarz \ George Soros undue influence in the elections by owning said company (or having a proxy agent set up a proprietorship company CIA style to conceal his ownerships interests either.
CRUZ or LOSE!> “When Bannon asked the Texas Senator ..... how someone who graduated from Harvard and Princeton can resonate like he does with working-class Americans, Cruz said it is because he always ***remembers where he came from***.”
Cruz is a godsend to America!
I support Cruz!
Thanks in advance.

Funny, I don’t hear these liberal commentators complaining when their left-wing political candidates graduate from Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton.
Double standard.
I think Sen. Cruz’s speech at Liberty University is at 10 AM Eastern time.
ME TOO! Welcome to FR.
Haven’t been this excited about a R candidate in a long time.
H1-B visas PING!
Wife is CFR and sits on board of Goldman Sachs PING!
