◼ To celebrate Cruz’s unprecedented first year in the Senate, here are 74 of his best quotes of the year: - Charlie Spiering/Washington Examiner @charlesspiering via HYR
#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
