North Carolina Senate Leader Phil Berger Endorses Ted Cruz For President
HOUSTON, Texas – North Carolina
Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham) released the following statement
yesterday endorsing Ted Cruz in Tuesday’s Republican presidential
primary:
“Of the two candidates with a
realistic chance to win the
Republican nomination for president, only Ted Cruz can defeat Hillary
Clinton or Bernie Sanders in the general election this November. Ted
Cruz is a principled outsider with a proven track record on fiscal and
social issues that conservatives can count on. I hope you’ll consider
joining me in supporting and voting for Ted Cruz tomorrow.”
EDEN, NC – North Carolina Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Rockingham)
released the following statement endorsing Ted Cruz in Tuesday's
Republican presidential primary:
"Like many North Carolinians, I believe the Obama presidency has
weakened our nation abroad, divided us here at home and fueled
unprecedented dysfunction in Washington. It has forced on the American
people nearly a decade of misguided progressive policy and a blind
obedience to foolish political correctness.
We’ve felt it in North Carolina: Obamacare’s crushing burden on
businesses and working families, activist courts denying the will of
our voters, and national headwinds stymying even greater economic
recovery. Since 2011, our work in the legislature has provided a model
for conservative, state-level reform in the face of Washington’s
failures. We’ve put our state on a better, brighter trajectory. But
only with a new president, and a new culture in our nation’s capital,
will the rest of the country experience the comeback we’ve worked so
hard to secure in North Carolina.
Fellow Republicans: We have to choose a nominee with the convictions to
undo mistakes of the past eight years, and one who can keep Hillary
Clinton or Bernie Sanders from repeating them. The self-avowed
socialist or the untrustworthy Obama lieutenant – both promise to
cement the change the president has forced on America. We must nominate
a conservative who can win in November.
Throughout this tumultuous campaign, Donald Trump has shone a national
spotlight on issues worthy of more discussion and debate. He’s stood up
to the liberal media and he’s challenged the political correctness that
is tearing apart the cultural fabric that has made America great. But
while Senator Cruz is leading Hillary Clinton in a general election
matchup – an election Republicans must win to maintain a conservative
majority on the Supreme Court – polling shows Mr. Trump losing by large
margins.
For these reasons I’m endorsing Ted Cruz for president.
Of the two candidates with a realistic chance to win the Republican
nomination for president, only Ted Cruz can defeat Hillary Clinton or
Bernie Sanders in the general election this November. Ted Cruz is a
principled outsider with a proven track record on fiscal and social
issues that conservatives can count on. I hope you’ll consider joining
me in supporting and voting for Ted Cruz tomorrow."
Phil Berger is the leader of the North Carolina Senate, the first
Republican to hold the that position in North Carolina in over a
century.
