During his Valley City presentation Rafael Cruz spoke to the importance of electing a candidate who will bring America back to the conservative roots as Ronald Reagan of the early 1980\u2032s.<\/p>\n
Cruz spoke about his son being well read on the constitution, compared to the current president or the GOP front runner (Donald Trump.)<\/p>\n
Cruz urged North Dakota party leaders to make a difference and support his son Ted Cruz\u00a0when Republican delegates meet this coming weekend, in Fargo,\u00a0to select their candidates.<\/p>\n
In 1957\u00a0Rafael Cruz\u00a0immigrated to the United States with little more than $100 to his name and barely able to speak English, he studied math and chemical engineering at the University of Texas and earned a degree, worked in the energy industry before becoming a pastor.<\/p>\n
Rafael Cruz was born in Cuba, and as a teenager in the 1950\u2019s, he supported the overthrow of the oppressive Batista regime which landed him in prison, where he was tortured.<\/p>\n
