Ted Cruz tests 2016 message: It's us versus Washington
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is the first major candidate from either party to join the 2016 presidential race, having declared his candidacy in a late night tweet. And in rolling out his campaign, the freshman lawmaker on Monday released a two-minute sales pitch touting his biography and resume that frames him as the Washington outsider best suited to fill Washington's top job.
"The divide that exists in our country isn't between political parties," Cruz says. "It's between Washington and the rest of us." —Jon Terbush
