US presidential debate: Hillary Clinton’s policies will kill jobs – Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz, one of the aspirants who lost the nomination for the candidacy of the Republican party to Donald Trump says Hillary Clinton is bent on killing jobs and reduce wages if elected as president.

Cruz said this few hours after the first presidential debate held at the Hofstra University campus.

Writing on his Facebook wall he said, “We know that her policies would kill jobs, reduce wages, and continue the downward spiral our country has endured under President Obama.”
According to Cruz, a Clinton presidency will be a continuation of the unfavourable policies of the Obama administration.


“Tonight, a clear contrast was drawn between the two nominees. Tonight, Hillary Clinton made it clearer than ever that if elected President, our future will continue on the same path that is hurting millions of Americans. If Clinton is elected, we know that the havoc Obamacare is wreaking on American families, on small businesses, and on our healthcare system will continue.

“We know that President Obama’s relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry and to wage war on coal will continue. We know that the Obama administration’s willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism and the influx of unvetted refugees from nations infiltrated by terrorists will continue.

“We know that President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty will continue and even expand. If Clinton is elected, we know that a liberal justice will be named to fill Scalia’s seat and we will lose the Supreme Court for a generation. With that, we know for a certainty that our right to keep and bear arms, our religious liberty and federalism are in danger.

“Tonight we received insight into what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like for Americans.”

He said the debate showed the path Americans ought to take as Clinton would not “defend freedom and restore the Constitution”.

“Tonight, Donald Trump had his strongest debate performance of the election cycle. He drew strong contrasts with Hillary on taxes, regulations, law and order, and the disastrous Iran deal. Rather than Hillary’s America, we need to take a different path.

“A path that would begin to restore our country from the damage it has suffered the last eight years. We need to unite to defend freedom and restore the Constitution. And Hillary Clinton made absolutely clear tonight she would not do so,” he concluded.
