Sen. Ted Cruz on Election Day asked voters a simple question: “Are you ready to fire Harry Reid and make D.C. listen?”
In a video that could be an early shot in his own expected 2016 bid for the White House, the Texas Republican boasts of efforts to support GOP candidates in races nationwide.
“We’ve been campaigning all over the country, and Election Day is finally here,” Cruz says. “If conservatives show up and vote, we’re gonna retake the U.S. Senate, and we’re gonna retire Harry Reid as majority leader.
“Our country is in crisis. Let’s stand up together and defend liberty. Let’s stand up together and bring back growth and jobs and opportunity. And let’s stand up together and bring back the American dream.
“Please, go vote today, and together, let’s make D.C. listen.”
Cruz is considered a likely candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, and he’s made a concerted effort to warn Republicans to avoid picking a centrist candidate.
“[I]f we run another candidate in the mold of a Bob Dole or a John McCain or Mitt Romney, we will end up with the same result, which is millions of people will stay home on Election Day, which is what happened for all three of them,” Cruz said in late October. “And if we run another candidate like that, Hillary Clinton will be the next president.”
