From his speech at the Reagan Dinner in Des Moines, Iowa:
“I’m convinced we’re facing a new paradigm in politics,” Cruz, who spoke for 45 minutes without notes or a teleprompter, told the crowd of about 600 people at the Iowa Events Center. “It is the rise of the grass roots … it has official Washington absolutely terrified.”
“This new paradigm has been beta-tested, unlike the Obamacare website,” Cruz said to applause. “It was beta-tested in 1980 with the Reagan Revolution and it pulled this country back form the brink.”
I would also add, in 2010 when ordinary citizens told Washington “No further”. However, instead of being led by a President, this movement is led by, well, us.
And they hate us for it. So, let’s go do it again – stick a thumb in their eye!
