Ten Republicans Prepare For First Major Debate

He’s one of 17 candidates vying for the Republican nomination.

Cruz, 44, was an attorney and solicitor general in Texas before becoming a senator in 2012.

The scheduled visit for the presidential contender was originally for a “Southern candies Meet and Greet” at Ravenswood Mansion.

Republican presidential candidate Texas Governor Rick Perry stands for the pledge of allegiance with Ralph Reed and SC St. Rep. Chip Limehouse during the Faith and Freedom Prayer Breakfast in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina January 15, 2012. “It is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour”.

His father, Pastor Rafael Cruz, is director of Purifying Fire Ministries – the ministry of Suzanne Hinn (wife of Benny). Perry is waging a one-man war on Donald Trump’s credibility, calling the bombastic billionaire “a cancer on conservatism”. Ted Cruz, will be speaking at the Clover-Lake Wylie Republican Women on Monday, August 17. At the event he spoke of the “transformative love of Christ” that he has witnessed at work in his family, and kicked off his campaign with the rallying cry: “God’s not done with America yet”.

And he took a shot at how the President is dealing with issues like terrorism. “Trying to get Trump into a verbal wrestling match could be extremely helpful to their candidacy”.
