Obama Administration Vilifies US Police – Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz

The Republican hierarchy is challenging each of the party’s presidential candidates to sign a pledge not to undertake a third-party bid – a move aimed squarely at Donald Trump.

More than a thousand people turned out to see Texas Sen.

“We are seeing a manifestation of the rhetoric and vilification of law enforcement that is coming from the top – all the way to the President of the United States and senior administration officials”, Cruz said on Wednesday.

“They may discover a hard path, but I certainly I welcome every one of them into the State of Texas”, said Cruz.

Cruz told the large crowd that as president he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, reverse President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, abolish the IRS and overhaul the tax code with a simple flat tax.

Polls show that Cruz, while well-funded and organized, is significantly behind businessman Donald Trump and others in the GOP race.

But critics of Cruz argue that the political neophyte is falsely optimistic, overly projecting one race onto a very different one. “Those millions of extra eyeballs had the opportunity, maybe for the first time, to hear my positive optimistic conservative message“, Cruz said.

He’s also confident about his support in the South, saying he and his campaign attracted 19,000 people during a recent bus tour after the first debate in Cleveland.

Cruz also said that he wanted to make sure he made a stop in East Texas because of the values the people here share. Rick is a friend of mine. Supporters packed the stock yards in Fort Worth before the first-term U.S. Senator flew for a rally in Tyler.

“The speaker is entitled to express whatever views he likes, but I’m not going to respond in kind”, the Texas senator on Monday told radio host Hugh Hewitt, according to Politico.

In the end, Steinhauser thinks most conservative voters will pass on Trump: “I think they are going to settle on a legitimate contender like a Cruz, a Rubio, a Walker”.

Cruz says what separates him from the other candidates is that he says what he’s going to do, then he does it. “Who actually has had a record of standing up to Washington?”
