Ted Cruz On GOP Leadership, Washington Cartel (Full Interview) | Meet The Press | NBC News

At the end of the day... I"m gonna wish I had my 30 minutes back.

[Madtica]

A conservative candidate that dislikes and is disliked by most democratic and republican politicians. I'd say that represents very closely the public opinion of most Americans. I think I found my candidate.

"Well, the deal's in place." - Chuck Todd. Chuck's face at 25:59... and then the dramatic change at 26:00... Ahahahaha...!

Bravo!!! What a great interview, this man truly is EXACTLY what America needs at this most crucial time in our nations history. Anyone who claims to be a true conservative and is planning on voting for Donald Trump needs to pause for a moment and really listen to Ted Cruz, give him a chance, give yourself a chance, to be sure that you and everyone else will not be sorry later, after it is too late. I believe our future, our children's future demands that we get this one right. The most precious commodity you have is your vote, make your candidate earn your trust by doing your due diligence to be sure he will perform as you would expect. Ted Cruz isn't about bluster, he demonstrates a cool head, a constant message which reminds me of another great conservative, Ronald Reagan. He doesn't need to shout down his opponents because his message is rational, well thought out, substantive. Ted Cruz has a conservative record beyond reproach, a record that illustrates a determination to fight, to stand up for his beliefs. He has been consistent, and has shown he does exactly what he says he will do, can we trust Donald Trump to do the same? Folks, this may very well be our LAST CHANCE to get this right, please be very sure. God Bless America & America Bless God

Ted Cruz appears to be a couple of gears ahead of this guy. I watched and this interviewer struggled to keep up.

I hate ted cruz BUT credit where credits due he Is very well spoken and has a natural leadership about him and compared to the other republican he seems very competent and knowledgable.

[joanie]

Trump is the only one that will actually do what he says he will do. Trump for President

[ceep]

He sure is promoting his book a lot throughout this interview...

[djk]

Does he think if he were to be elected president he could single handedly make all his sweeping changes? How odd... It is not like he would be a "king".

[kgrimes]

Okay you stood up, but what have you won? Nothing.

[halter]

For 30 minutes, Donald Trump talked engagingly about what he wanted to do for America and showed himself knowledgeable in domestic and foreign affairs. He's been called an egomaniac, but all Cruz talks about is what a big hero he is and how dumb everyone else is. And, for this reason, he is very boring.

[aroncarvajal]

there is no way this guy is half cuban!

[Kinkle_Z]

OKAY but after 1 hour of listening to Ted Cruz, I am still wondering what he actually BELIEVES IN. What do you believe in TED? Why do you think Romneycare is so awful. I'm not crazy about it actually but why do you so hate it? Is there any way that you can possibly be honest and tell us what you believe and WHY? All I hear is BS.

[carlasevilla]

Jericho it's going to be a Cruz/Carson ticket!!

[ACORNLAWN]

I force myself to watch opposing views like Turd cruz. However this guy makes me sick to my stomach. He is such liar and chuck todd is a weak example of a journalist
The evangelical vote is a very scary thing. Bernie 2016

[markfurrer]

if someone gave this guy 13 million to run agaisnst trump .. than everyone vote for trump he must be something great .

[cristianvera]

ted cruz is a great senator but he never answer the questions XD

[aktivesheman]

ahahha how dare john boehner cut deals with all the democrats and some reasonable moderate republicans! what about us far right idiots with little to no intention of findin middle ground.

[isabellehettlinger]

So far I haven't talked to anyone that's said "hey, I'm going to vote for Ted Cruz 2016!"
