Despite widespread doubt over his chances and the recent ridicule over his decision to sign up for Obamacare while railing against it, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and GOP presidential hopeful is hitting the campaign trail hard in New Hampshire to position himself as a maverick Washington outsider.

The Texas Republican spoke at a rally of young conservatives in Nashua, reprising his theme of “reigniting the promise of America” and said that he would bring back jobs after six years of recession, according to a Washington Post report.

He said he was “optimistic” because “each of you … will not let freedom go,” according to the report.

Cruz against laid out his agenda, including abolishing the IRS, creating a flat tax, and repealing Obamacare. His family decided to sign up for Obamacare recently.

He compared his plan to the “Reagan revolution,” harkening back to the 1980s when President Ronald Reagan cut taxes after his election. He called Obamacare the “biggest job killer in this country” and pledged to spend the next two years trying to point that out to the American people.

His health insurance plan would be to purchase insurance from across state lines and de-link insurance from employment while expanding health-savings accounts, which he says would result in a more competitive system that would remove the government from the process.

Cruz said he has raised $1 million during the first day when he announced his presidential bid, and the campaign has since broken the $2 million market.

He’s already being attacked from within Republican circles, with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) telling Politico that Cruz was a “reckless” candidate who didn’t seem to care about the budget deficit.
