WASHINGTON — Speaking to a small gathering of pro-life activists Thursday, Ted Cruz frankly predicted that Republicans will lose the White House in 2016 if they “present a milquetoast alternative” as their nominee.
The Texas Republican acknowledged that he is actively considering a run for the White House himself, seemingly positioning himself as the type of candidate that evangelicals and the conservative grassroots can get behind.
“I’m looking at the race very, very seriously,” Cruz told the activists. “And I will tell you — the encouragement, the support we are receiving from the grassroots, all across the country, has been breathtaking.”
Hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion activists are in Washington for the annual March for Life. Cruz, speaking to about 30 activists in a small room in the Capitol, argued Thursday that Republicans “have to have the courage to stand.”
