Sen. Ted Cruz: Sasse and Ricketts in Nebraska

in the basket a gubernatorial race in a Senate race you've endorsed Ben Sasson Pete rickets in those two races %HESITATION

what does it take for you to be convinced that use endorse the right candidate in these races well

in this country right now it is a critical fork in the road we are facing unprecedented

challenges fiscal and economic challenges where we've been trapped for five years and economic stagnation we're facing an assault on

our constitutional liberties and in order to turn this country back what we got to see two things happen we've

gotta see number one the grassroots rise up the American people rise up and hold elected officials accountable hold them accountable to both parties and

the slings and arrows that there that come from taking a hard principled stand and that's why the Nebraska elections today are so important I spend a lot of time visiting

with with both Ben Sasson Pete records getting to know them looking at their records and and I'm

convinced based on their character based on the records that both men Sassen Pete wreckage are

going to be willing to stand up and make the hard choices to turn this country around and to fight all

across this country and and so I would encourage everyone listening to the show come out and vote today make your voice heard even if you're tired of career politicians in both parties making

the problem worse and worse and worse and bankrupting our kids and grandkids the only way to change it is

for the American people to stand up and demand something different we had the both Ben Sasse MP records on the show yesterday and Ben

you're has to be part of these things in indoors people in our their deal breaker issues that you need to find answers to before you'll

throw them your support sure any and it was a lot more extensive discussion then just we sat down in person %HESITATION

and visited but we also spent a lot of time I can spend a lot of time on the phone with his team looking at his record looking at numbers looking

at where the race is I mean really trying to delve into the substance and we did the same thing with Pete records where you

know I have made relatively few endorsements this cycle and and and I'm trying to %HESITATION

husband them carefully so so that that that that if I didn't wait into array I

want people to be able to to be to be confident and trust that that that that the person that that

it that I'm standing beside is someone who I'm convinced he is going to stand up and fight when

it's difficult and you know that's the that's the most rare quality in politics it

is the quality of fearlessness is is the willingness and let's take Ben Sasse in the U. S. Senate %HESITATION

what I think is critical and in twenty fourteen is two things number one that Republicans win control of the Senate retire Harry Reid I

one or two or three people who were willing to stand up to look the party bosses in the eyes and say I don't work for
