Ted Cruz Likens Himself To Bernie Sanders While Campaigning In Philadelphia
By Justin Udo
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz is stomping for votes in Pennsylvania, and he started Tuesday night with an event in Philadelphia.
Senator Cruz took the stage in front of a few dozen people at the National Constitution Center for a little more than 10 minutes, talking about the direction he wants to lead the country, if elected.
"We will create a new and better world. We will bring back jobs and freedom and security. We will find new ways to ignite an energy revolution with more jobs and greater choices. We will defeat the evil of Islamists and ISIS."
During his speech Mr. Cruz likened himself to a rival with political views that staunchly opposed his own.
"This is the year of the outsider. I'm an outsider, Bernie Sanders is an outsider. Our campaigns don't find our fuel in bundlers and special interests, but rather directly from the people."
Today, Senator Cruz is holding campaign events throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
