Ted Cruz: We Need 'Conservative Reinforcements' Like Ben Sasse

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Ben Sasse, who won Nebraska's GOP Senate nomination on Tuesday, would be a much needed reinforcement for conservatives in the Senate should he win the general election in November.

Cruz, who endorsed and campaigned for Sasse along with Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, said Sasse's "decisive victory" is a "clear indication that the grassroots are rising up to Make DC Listen" and "rising up to take our country back."

Sasse trounced his two opponents, getting nearly 50% of the vote in the primary. 

"We urgently need conservative reinforcements in the Senate like Ben who will stand with the American people, not the Washington establishment," Cruz added. "Ben is a constitutional conservative who will not just 'check the box' and vote the right way."

Cruz assured conservatives that Sasse will "affirmatively fight to advance the conservative agenda, repeal Obamacare, and defend the Constitution."

Sasse surged in the race when he staunchly opposed Obamacare and called out Republican establishment leaders for not fighting to defund Obamacare fiercely enough as Cruz and Lee were leading the defunding effort last year. The Senate Conservatives Fund, which has feuded with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), also endorsed Sasse while McConnell and his allies favored his opponent Shane Osborn.

If I were you, I wouldn’t bet the farm on Mitch being back next year.

I truly wish I could be as confident about it as you. But if it isn't McConnell then it's Grimes, and probably crazy Harry as majority leader still.

McConnell you are a loser...Bevin should win.

Re: “Sorry to see you “troubled” and “disturbed” at this great victory for the Senate Conservatives Fund.”

Conversely, I am sorry and disturbed that so many Conservatives do not understand that immigration is the ONLY important issue in 2014.

We literally have no time to spare.

Between now and election day in November, another 500,000 Socialists will become citizens and voters.

Since the Reagan Amnesty in 1986, 20 million Socialists have become citizens and voters.

The only reason Conservatives have any political power in the USA is because we vote at a much higher rate than Independents and Democrats.

If Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and single white poor women vote at the same rate as Conservatives in 2014, we will be lucky to win two seats in the Senate, and we will lose at least three seats in the House.

In 2022, after Census re-districting, the Democrats will take permanent control of the White House, the Senate, and the House.
