Ted Cruz Kicks Off 2016 US Presidential Race With God's Backing Monday March 23,2015

It’s been 11 years since a member of the Republican Party won a presidential election.

Ted Cruz, a rambunctious Tea Party Senator from Texas, moved to end that trend on Monday March 23,2015 by announcing a run for the White House.

The 44-year-old is something of a divisive figure in the US, derided by politicians (on both sides) for his unwillingness to compromise, yet beloved by party activists for whom calling Obama a Muslim and besmirching immigrants is a potent political message.

Ted Cruz  announced his campaign in a tweet at midnight, which was followed by a speech at Liberty University, a controversial college in Lynchburg founded by the late religious businessman Jerry Falwell – a preacher probably best know outside the US for saying that 9/11 was God's punishment for Gays and Abortions

On Monday March 23,2015 Ted Cruz became the first to launch a presidential campaign outright. Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and two Senate colleagues, Kentucky's Rand Paul and Florida's Marco Rubio, are likely to follow for the Republicans
