Ted Cruz in 2015 RedState Gathering

On Abortion: Allow vote to end Planned Parenthood's funding

Cruz continued his war with Republican leaders, whom he has dubbed "liars" for not allowing votes to end Planned Parenthood's funding. "The truth is not rhetoric," Cruz said. "Here's the truth. [Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell and [Minority Leader] Harry Reid are working arm in arm."

Cruz capitalized on the conservative theory of why Obama had been elected president: Republicans only lost when they went easy on Democrats. Any Republican who forgot that was going to lose to Hillary Clinton.
