first up an exclusive interview with Texas senator Ted Cruz then occurrence out walking back to North Carolina I think it is time this morning Sir well

thank you tend to agree with you I know you're still learn about life Stacey do you know a lot about North Carolina he's still learning I

am glad to be here I certainly wouldn't win hold myself out as an expert but I can say that people had been warm

and encouraging and the support was saying is really really we have our ten eleven were baptised thirteen fourteen candidates here a few weeks how

do you separate yourself from the others you know I think Republicans are looking for someone who will stand up and do it consistently I

think the entire Republican primaries and come down to one word and that's trust we're sitting on believable enthusiasm

and energy behind the campaign you know Heidi and I after we launched when a barnstorming tour we went to Iowa

much larger sometimes double the size of other candidates and then on the fundraising so the support we've seen has

been breathtaking it's been record shattering in the first week we raised over four point three million

dollars over fifty one thousand people all over the country from all fifty states went to Ted Cruz doubt or contributed online

reason we're seeing that grassroots energy and passion and excitement yes people are fed up with politicians to say one thing and do another and

what I've tried to do in public office is very simple it is to tell the truth and do what I said so that many other candidates are untrustworthy

compared to you then swell that's that's going to be an assessment that that every primary voters gonna make it every candidate they're going to look at the candidates in the online and

determinedly telling the truth are they Blowin slump but Republicans are well familiar with a dynamic in

and it's the reason people are so fed up and frustrated I've said a lot of times the biggest divide we've got in this country politically it's

not between Democrats and with a it is between career politicians in Washington in both parties and

need leadership who will stand with the American people and help bring us back common sense conservative principles to the free market principles and constitutionalists that
