CRUZ: Barack Obama sticks by his principles.

It's time for Republicans to stand by ours – that's how we win.

And that's how I'll lead.

As president, I won't compromise the values that make us who we are.

The Constitution wasn't a first draft.

Our border isn't a revolving door.

And the rule of law wasn't meant to be broken.

America is off track. But our founding principles will get us back.

I'm Ted Cruz and I approved this message.
