ANDERSON: "Why do you have to call it a card carrying deputy delegate. You sound like a deputy sheriff which doesn’t have any power?"
CRUZ: "My kids have gotten deputy sheriff badges. When you buy cracker jacks you get — look. We have gotten over 1.3 million contributions."
ANDERSON: "That’s a lot of deputy delegates."
CRUZ: "And you know what? I would be thrilled to have 5 million or 10 million deputy delegates."

CRUZ: "It was obviously a fund-raising e-mail asking people to contribute and what we’ve seen, when you have over 1.3 million contributions, our average has been about $60, people that go to tedcruz.org, they contribute, that is what has enabled us to remain in the race and to prevail over candidates supported by all the lobbyists, big corporations, all the big money. Our support is the grassroots. And that’s what’s also enabling us to win race after race after race."
