Cruz: ‘ I Think We’re Positioned Ideally’ for Super Tuesday

STEPHANOPOULOS: "And we’re joined now by the man who came in third in South Carolina, Senator Ted Cruz joins us now. Senator Cruz, thank you for joining us this morning. You said you defied expectations last night. How is a third place finish defying expectations?"
CRUZ: "Well, listen, we’ve been through the first three primary states. We’ve won Iowa with a big margin. We came in third in New Hampshire in a state where they said a conservative could not do well in a moderate New England state. And then last night we effectively tied for second. That combination, what that has resulted in, is there is now only one strong conservative remaining in this race who can win. And what we’re seeing, how game plan from day one was do well in the first four states and consolidate conservatives to go forward into Super Tuesday. I think we’re positioned ideally to do exactly that."
