Sen. Ted Cruz at the Grafton County Lincoln-Reagan Dinner

you nnj the president of the United States ought to be above that and

and the single greatness threat facing the national security of American today is the threat of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons nnj

thank you all for coming out dnmt less the great state of New Hampshire nndb

nndb last week down in Washington DC nndb

to be back in America dnmt enjoyed hearing that you said that

dinner trying to get Hillary to come speak nde couldn't find a for a nation to foot the bill but

nnhs order now has a Ghannouchi nd thrilled to be back in New Hampshire with so many friends I appreciate your being

here these are extraordinary times there were remarkable times everyone of us is here we came out tonight because

we're deeply concerned about the direction of this country everyone of us is here because we're concerned about our kids and grandkids there

is right now I think an urgency to politics unlike anything any of us had ever seen before this

next election in twenty sixteen I believe it is now or never I don't think we've reached the point of no return we

are close there comes a point where the holes to dig there comes a point where the dead is too great for our liberties had

been too far road where the world is to and I believe if we continue for eight more years down this car we

will risk losing the greatest country in the history of the world now the men and women here are assembled because

none of us not willing to let that happen none of us are willing to go quietly into the night none

of us are willing to let go and give up on the United States of America nnj

you know to underscore how extraordinary this moment is today for the first time in history a majority of Americans sixty five percent I

believe that our kids will have a worse life than we did I want you to think about that in in centuries of our nation's history that has never been true until right now this it

today has been that our kids who have a better life than we did and their kids would have a better life than they did there

something extraordinary so I want to until about how we turned that around I want to come to you with

a voice of hope Dennis I think the central challenge in this country in twenty sixteen and going forward is how do we reignite the

miracle that is America and I would suggest we need to do three things to make that happen number one bring

doesn't matter if you're in East Texas are West Texas in the panhandle of the valley the top priority is jobs and growth and

that ought to be a bipartisan priority that'll bring us all together and say look regardless of what we think on other issues if

is the United States of America nnj
