We're looking at a president [Barack Obama] who's engaged in double-speak where he doesn't call radical Islamic terrorism by its name.

Ted CruzThe message that I am conveying to President Trump, to the Cabinet, to leaders in both Houses is real simple. Let's do what we promised. Let's deliver on the promises and if we do that, we'll win at the ballot box and if we don't, the people will hold us accountable for that too.
Ted CruzLet me say something at the outset. The questions that have been asked so far in this debate illustrate why the American people don't trust the media. This is not a cage match.
