The fact is, Sen. Cruz fearlessly took up our causes in the Senate, even when it was politically unprofitable to do so.

Cruz Conservatives Hit Media-Rubio Lies

Responding to false reports that conservatives are wavering in their support for Senator Ted Cruz for President, five of the conservative movement’s most prominent leaders have issued statements reiterating their support for Cruz and calling on conservatives to unite behind the Texas Senator.

Richard Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com whose career at the national level of conservative politics spans over 50-years said, “Reports that conservatives are wavering in their support for Senator Ted Cruz are simply false. Ted Cruz is the only full-spectrum conservative in the race, the only candidate who can defeat Donald Trump and the only candidate who can unite all six elements of the Republican coalition to defeat Hillary Clinton.”

“The idea that conservatives will shift their support from Cruz to Rubio is preposterous given Marco Rubio’s many betrayals of the conservative movement going back to when he served in the Florida House,” observed Viguerie. “Senator Rubio’s support for amnesty for illegal aliens, his support for the Obama-Hillary Clinton disasters in the Middle East, and his long record of supporting big spending and intrusive government has rendered him unacceptable to key elements of the conservative coalition that elected Ronald Reagan and powered Republicans to historic victories in the 2010 and 2014 elections.”

Just received my early ballot.

Very surprised Sen Jeff Sessions endorsed Trump instead of Ted Cruz.

I voted early for Cruz, but if he doesn't do well Tuesday, he may not even be still running by AZ's primary on the 22nd.

This has to sting because of all the times Cruz has mentioned Sessions as an ally in the Senate.

Disappointing. A big loss for Cruz and a big mistake for Sessions.

Jeff Sessions may be good on immigration but he's full establishment on everything else and he has a background that is very sketchy on racist behavior.

Congressman Mo Brooks, who represents the 5th congressional district of Alabama and serves as the Alabama State Chairman for Cruz for President.

But better paying jobs don't just appear because a billionaire commands them to. They're created when the economy grows. And the economy grows when the government stops overtaxing individuals and businesses, overregulating industry, and stops enabling foreign labor to take American jobs.

Out of all the candidates, Ted Cruz solves every side of this problem.
