Texas Republican senator and tea party favorite Ted Cruz has announced his candidacy for president. In a speech at the evangelical Liberty University, Cruz rolled out an agenda which includes reversing Obamacare, militarizing the U.S.-Mexico border, rolling back abortion rights and same-sex marriage and strengthening support for Israel.
Sen. Ted Cruz: “I believe in you. I believe in the power of millions of courageous conservatives rising up to reignite the promise of America. And that is why today I am announcing that I’m running for president of the United States. … Instead of a president who boycotts Prime Minister Netanyahu, imagine a president who stands unapologetically with the nation of Israel.”
