Hypothesizing that if Republicans lose Pennsylvania this November, they'll "lose the country," U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, in a visit to Carnegie on Thursday night, said Senate candidate Dave McCormick won't just win the general election if he's the GOP's nominee, but he'll govern as a true conservative in Washington.
In a swing through Pennsylvania with the former hedge fund CEO, Cruz, the Texas senator and conservative firebrand who came in second place to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential primary, said McCormick is the "most conservative candidate who can win" — something he looks for when he endorses in GOP primaries across the country, he said.
"We need to back a candidate who, number one, can win — and Dave McCormick can win and he will win — but number two, we need a candidate whom we know what they're going to do, not just because they said it on the campaign trail, but because they have a lifetime of walking behind it," Cruz said to more than 150 people in a warehouse on North Bell Street.
