Ted Cruz gave a fantastic interview tonight on the Mark Levin Show and you can listen to the full interview below. I’ve posted the highlights below from his communications director:

CRUZ: "The omnibus is full of cronyism, full of everything except what Americans want. There is corruption in this town and it's bipartisan" — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: "Politicians think governing means ignoring what you told constituents you would do." — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: "They drape their arm around you and say 'that's just what you say back home.'" — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: "They do not like when it becomes apparent they are not doing what they said." — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: "The echo chamber in DC is lobbyists and people who cut checks. This omnibus is a payback. Those are the commitments they care about" — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: "There is a collective herd mentality that you can't stand up and do anything meaningful and you have to give in." — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

Cruz: in some sense, politicians are honoring their commitments….the ones they made to K Street — Daniel Horowitz (@RMConservative) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: "If they want to come after me, fine. Knock yourself out. That is not my concern. My concern is honoring the oath of office." — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: Mike Lee and I accomplished what we set out to do: force a vote on Obama's amnesty — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: Every Democrat voted with Obama and that's why we fought this fight to ensure Congress went on record — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: GOP leadership was whipping against us — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: The real test is what happens in Jan or Feb. GOP leaders promise their strategy is to have real fight. — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: I will take them at their word…we will see 60 days from now if they are telling the truth — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: If we stop amnesty, no one will sing their praises greater than I — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

CRUZ: If you are thinking of running for President, stand up and lead. Engage in the great challenges…don't just remain silent. — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014

This X million! CRUZ: "Nothing would make me happier than seeing strong leadership from governors and senators fighting side by side" — Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) December 16, 2014
