Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz was certainly pleased by the massive Republican win in the 2014 midterms, but he warned that now Republicans had to earn voters’ trust by following through with their agenda.
He made the comments in a late-night interview with Bret Baier of Fox News.
CRUZ: It is actually right, that now we have won the election, it is incumbent on Republicans to stand up and lead. It is incumbent on us to deliver with a bold, positive, optimistic agenda, focused on job and economic growth and opportunity, focused on defending our constitutional rights.
You know, the fact that the people rose up and voted the Democrats out of power doesn’t necessarily mean they trust Republicans. They’ve given us another chance, but we’ve got to earn that trust and the way to earn that trust is to listen to the priorities of the people. And I hope come January, Republicans stand united, we stand as one, and we systematically one after another vote on positive, pro-growth ideas. We vote on tax reform, we vote on regulatory reforms. We vote on embracing the American energy renaissance. We vote on going after and stopping Obamacare. We deliver on the promises that Republicans campaigned on all across the country.
