#6. Doing something right

“Let me say that the fact that the mainstream media and the New York Times is so hysterical about what I’m doing — to me frankly suggests that we’re doing something right. Because I tell ya, I ain’t here workin’ for the New York Times."

– Cruz responding to media criticism

12. Look around

“A friend of mine, a Hispanic entrepreneur asked me a question some time ago. He said, ‘When is the last time you saw a Hispanic panhandler?’ I think it’s a great question.

– Cruz on hard-working Hispanics

13. Take us to your leader

"I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll work with Martians. If — and the if is critical — they're willing to cut spending and reduce the debt."

– Cruz on his willingness to compromise
