Cruz Says He’s the Most Electable Conservative

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-IA) “is among the most hated men in Washington, reviled by leaders of both parties as an ideological hard-liner loyal only to the far-right of the conservative movement,” the AP reports.

“But racing down an Iowa highway on a snowy weekend morning, a solemn Cruz suggested some of his Republican rivals for president have amped up their rhetoric too much — especially on policy toward people who are in the U.S. illegally.”

Said Cruz: “I cannot help the language that others use… I can only help the words that come out of my own mouth.”
