GOP Congressman: Cruz Is A Libertarian, Not A Mainstream Republican
REP. MICHAEL GRIMM (R-NY): I would say Senator Ted Cruz is much more of a libertarian than he is a Republican. And that's -- you know, again, a challenge for the Republican party, is that we have many libertarians that run under the banner of Republican, but they are not historically Republicans. They don't consider themselves true Republicans. They consider themselves libertarian, so I think Senator Cruz is a libertarian and I think that he has views that represent maybe 12, 13% of our country, but certainly not mainstream America, especially independents that don't consider themselves Republican or Democrat.
They're just Americans that want to see our country do well and they want to see Congress governed. What does governing mean? It means sitting down rationally, pragmatically, and making a deal that makes this country a better place to live and that's not happening as long as we have Senator Cruz railing the way he is.
