Ted Cruz: Attacks on me are really ‘directed at the American people’

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said recently that opponents who criticized him were really attacking all of the American people.

Ann Marie Murrell and Dr. Gina Loudon of the conservative website Politichicks caught up with Cruz at what they described as a “top-secret dinner” following his Friday appearance on NBC’s Tonight Show.

“We all asked, we begged for someone to stand up for us and then you stood up for us,” Murrell told the senator. “But then you were denigrated by both the left and the right. Does this make you want to chunk it in or does this make you want to fight harder for us?”

“I’m encouraged,” Cruz insisted. “I’m encouraged because I think all across the country, I think people are getting energized, they’re getting engaged, they’re speaking up. And we shouldn’t be surprised. Changing the country isn’t easy. And the establishment is going to fight back. In both parties, they don’t want to change.”

“And so, the reason — the nastier the attacks get — I mean, they’re directed at all of us, they are directed at the American people,” he continued. “Because a lot of the folks in Washington don’t want to be held accountable.”

Regarding the possibility of a 2016 presidential run, Cruz warned that “we don’t have a long time to turn this country around.”

8. The thing that get me is that people that make up a physical minority

of Americans insist that they are the "only" Americans. People that live in Urban areas and Suburbs near urban areas don't count for anything in the minds of the so-called "true" Americans. How mixed up is that?
