"Often Republican leadership in Washington, they support the candidates who aren't gonna rock the boats," Cruz added. "They support the candidates who are going to follow orders and be obedient. I'm looking for people who will rock the boats. I'm looking for conservatives who will lead the fight, and the problem is leadership funds the squishy candidates.
