In a speech to supporters Saturday in Idaho, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said the "howl" being heard in Washington, D.C., is coming from members of the establishment in "utter terror at what we the people are doing together."
Cruz delivered his speech minutes after being named the projected winner of the Kansas Republican caucus and the winner of the CPAC straw poll. "We are seeing conservatives coming together, Republicans coming together, libertarians coming together, men and women who love freedom and love the Constitution coming together and uniting and standing as one behind this campaign," he said. Cruz won his home state of Texas and a handful of other states on Super Tuesday, and said those wins were an "extraordinary" continuation of his momentum. He also told the crowd the election will come down to three topics — jobs, freedom, and security — and he promised as president to repeal ObamaCare, pass a flat tax, and abolish the IRS.
