How do you do that? How do you tell those voters, you know what, you may like those guys, but come to me?<\/p>\n<p>SEN. TED CRUZ:<\/p>\n<p>Listen, I\u2019m very encouraged where we are right now because I think what we are seeing happening every day is conservatives coalescing behind our campaign. And, and, one of the reasons I\u2019m very optimistic is, you look at the impact of Donald Trump, I like Donald. You know others have gone out of their way to smack him, I haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I think Donald\u2019s campaign has been immensely beneficial for our campaign, and the reason is, he\u2019s framed the central issue of this Republican primary as, who will stand up to Washington? Well, the natural follow up, if that\u2019s the question is, who has actually stood up to Washington? Who has stood up to both Democrats and to leaders of their own party?<\/p>\n<p>CHUCK TODD:<\/p>\n<p>So you think that distinguishes you from Donald Trump and Ben Carson?<\/p>\n<p>SEN. TED CRUZ:<\/p>\n<p>And from everyone else on that stage. I think my record is markedly different in terms of actually standing up and taking on the Washington cartel, and I think that\u2019s why we are seeing \u2013 particularly as voters get more and more educated, study the candidates, listen to the candidates in person \u2013 I think that\u2019s why we are seeing the grassroots momentum that we\u2019re seeing \u2013 is conservatives are coalescing behind our campaign.<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information, please contact<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Olivia Petersen<\/p>\n<p>NBC News<\/p>\n<p>202-885-4159<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:olivia.petersen@nbcuni.com\">olivia.petersen@nbcuni.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n<p><strong>MEET THE PRESS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/media.ne.cision.com\/l\/jzydutjr\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\">\u201cMeet the Press\u201d<\/a> is where newsmakers come to make news \u2014 setting the political agenda and spotlighting the impact Washington decision-making has on people across the country. \u201cMeet the Press\u201d reaches more than 3 million people every Sunday through its broadcasts and millions more through NBCNews.com, the #TweetThePress interview series, Flipboard, and social media platforms.\u00a0 Chuck Todd is the moderator of &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; and John Reiss is the executive producer.<\/p>\n<p># # #<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OCT. 17, 2015 \u2013 In an exclusive interview on the campaign trail in New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidate Sen.
