Surging Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz is laying out what would be the most aggressive first day in office ever for a new president, starting with the elimination of "every single illegal and unconstitutional" executive action taken by President Obama.
In an epilogue to his father Rafael Cruz's upcoming autobiography, the Texas senator also said that he would rip up Obama's controversial deal with Iran, open an investigation into Planned Parenthood's abortion practice, end the IRS's "persecution of religious liberty," and shift the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
"All of that is on day one. It is an example of how quickly things can change," Cruz penned in his father's revealing personal story, A Time for Action, published by WND Books. The book's release date is January 5, but it is available on Amazon now.
"The left, and the media (who are in cahoots), try to convince us that nothing can change. They want us to give up. But strong presidential leadership, backed by the American people, can usher in dramatic change," wrote Cruz.
His day one five-point agenda goes much further than past presidents have been able to achieve and gives an indication of how swiftly he hopes to begin unraveling the Obama presidency.
Cruz also presented his short term plan to go even further by repealing Obamacare, expanding school choice, moving to "rebuild our military," doing more to reform the Veterans Administration, taking on ISIS with greater force and securing the border and ending the sanctuary city system that lets cities get away with harboring illegal immigrants wanted by federal authorities.
"Our country is in crisis," wrote Cruz. "I am convinced, it is now or never. There comes a point where the hole is too deep, the debt is too great, our liberties are too receded, and there is no going back," he added.
His Cuban-born father has been a star on the campaign trail for his own story of fighting Cuban authorities, coming to the United States where he discovered the American Dream and eventually becoming a born-again pastor.
Rafael Cruz has also become a voice for evangelical leaders seeking to stir the flock enough to get them to vote, noting at the end of his book that 54 million didn't vote in 2012. "Imaging if those people registered and voted," he wrote.
By that time, Iran will have its money, the sanctions will be lifted, the EU, Russia, and China will have concluded major business deals, and Iran will have legitimacy. You can’t unring a bell.
Trump questioned Israel's commitment to making a deal with the Palestinians.
It seems like the establishment media covered for Trump because Trump took the establishment media's position.
.
He already is the nominee; even the NRO have conceded that.
Trump can sit in the lobby and watch the love.
“Would he just sign a single EO saying: ‘All EOs issued by my predecessor are hereby revoked?’”
Whoever is president will have a couple of months to come up with the actual wording and printed documents. Get sworn in, sign EO’s for an hour, and then head down to the inauguration ball.
I think he did give an explanation.
Trump:
On Status of Jerusalem, Donald Trump Provokes Boos From GOP Jews
Oh, okay. That makes sense to me.
Keep it up, by all means. Get louder. Shriek and scream and bellow and howl at the moon.
You’re not shutting anyone up, what do you think of that?
And the lurkers who read FR will be turned off as they see what Trump supporters are like. So, yeah...knock yourself out.
That doesn’t explain Trump’s lack of support for Jerusalem being the undivided capital in the event he was involved in helping craft a deal.
Huh?
Tin Foil Alert. Aisle 13.
It seems to me that the Cruz camp gets very touchy when people are addressing Ted’s activity. To me there is a disconnect with Ted, that the Cruz supporters fail to implement when addressing Trump’s history.
I don’t think it’s trollish to address what Ted’s voting history is. We are supposed to make informed decisions.
I don’t hang out at the CNN website. Thank you for the invitation.
LOL
Yes it does. Trump is questioning Israel's commitment to making a deal with the Palestinians so he doesn't want to commit to Israel's position of an undivided capital...at least at this point in time.
Guess you’ll have to join him in the places you frequent.
I don’t go to bath houses.
I don’t refer to others going there either unless it’s Obama.
I post some facts and your response is to incorporate a bath house into the post.
I’ll let others determine which is trollish.
I just gave you a list of things that is the Trump campaign, I would like to see what Cruz is going to do, after all, he is a ‘politician’ and is an ‘insider’ and is a 3 term Senator that lives in Texas...
Cruz has had time to ‘build a wall’; he has had time to bring jobs back to America for Americans; he has had time to help the Veterans and the Wounded Warriors; he has had time to repeal obumacare; and he has had time to return illegal immigrants, instead of supporting the H1B visa bill, so where are all the bills he has had time to do, where are they?
Well Catherine, what one person calls irony, others refer to as an example of avoidance.
Sorry about your case.
Don’t be sorry, Doughty. You’re always good entertainment.
And you haven't tasted the BS sandwiches Trump has been feeding you? Must be an acquired taste.
Do we not already have an embassy in Israel?
There is Donald and Not Donald. When others drop, and it’s Ted v Donald, all bets are off.
