Sen. Ted Cruz borrowed the "#ReadyForHillary" hashtag used by Hillary Clinton's supporters in the run-up to her official campaign launch to criticize the Democratic candidate on the heels of her announcement Sunday.
"We're ready for Hillary," the Texas Republican said in a video posted to his Facebook page just minutes after Clinton released her launch video. "We know exactly what to expect. Hillary Clinton represents the failed policies of the past."
Cruz, who was the first politician from either major party to formally announce his candidacy for president, tied Clinton to President Obama in what is sure to be a common Republican tactic in the coming months.
"Does America want a third Obama term, or are we ready for strong conservative leadership to make America great again?" Cruz said.
The first-term senator was one of several prospective and official GOP candidates who took to social media in the moments before and after Clinton's announcement to slam the Democratic candidate.
Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, posted a video on her Facebook page shortly before Cruz to criticize Clinton's record as secretary of state.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker sent out a flurry of tweets telling voters that Clinton was "the architect of the failed foreign policy we're seeing executed by President Obama today." Walker is also expected to join the Republican primary in the coming months.
Earlier in the day, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., launched a website, LibertyNotHillary.com, dedicated to opposing the former first lady's White House bid.
Paul touched off his own presidential campaign earlier this week.

Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan |

Hillary needs to be asked this question by the media. Just so she knows how Ted Cruz and Rand Paul feel.
“Hillary, when did you deicide that Bill should stop molesting underage children.?”
