[Ted] Cruz is not at all popular in the Senate. Republicans say he may be too disliked to be a nominee. And there is a real concern about that. I think the one way to go after Trump maybe is go after him as a closet Democrat. That he has supported Democrats in the past.

I think it's important to understand that ISIS's biggest enemy are ordinary Muslims. That's why they're fleeing.

I thought the Wall Street Journal quote, they got a guy in Iowa to say I think exactly where I think this race is right now for a lot Republicans. He said, "Nobody in Iowa wants [Donald]Trump for president. But everybody in Iowa wants somebody like Trump for president." That's what you need.

I don't think there's any clever way for the establishment to take Donald Trump down. It's very simple. Another candidate is going to have to find a way either to out-maneuver him, or to just frankly beat him in the argument.

Some people think [Ted] Cruz is just as bad of an electoral nightmare down the ballot as [Donald] Trump.

When we talked about a wall, right, to try to keep out this threat. The problem is that these are ideas. And they are filtering throughout the world. And it was naïve, and I think ultimately, the reason why we, as Muslims, stood on Friday and went to the mosque and took the risks on our own lives, is because we've had enough. I think the world has had enough.

There are many other [then ISIS] terrorist organizations. And their primary victims are Muslims. I think that's very important.

I think the guy who gets the least chatter, given how high his chances are of winning the nomination, is Ted Cruz.

I think the blood is spilling in Syria and it's mostly Muslims.
