U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz announced Monday at Liberty University in Virginia that he's seeking the Republican nomination to run for president in 2016. Our friends at the public radio program The Takeawaydid a mash-up with the Texas senator's speech and the John Lennon song, "Imagine." 

Why? They estimate he used the word "imagine" more than 30 times.
