I’m a huge Ted Cruz fan. Having said that I believe he would do better in the Senate leadership than running for president. We’ve had a Senator as president and he has been horrible. Do we want another?

I submit our best candidate will come from either current or past state governors. They will have actually run something large, comprised of both Democrats and REpublicans, and won a statewide election.

As much as I too think Cruz would be great you make a good point we have a number of governors(with executive experience) who could do a really good job as well. Scott Walker coming to mind even though he's not 100%.

Obama's been a bad president not because he was a Senator, but because he hates America and he's got bad ideas. Plus, he never accomplished anything substantive in his life -- aside from being elected Senator.

Cruz is a man of accomplishment who loves America and has good ideas.

There is a reason, though, why veteran Senators may not be good Presidents. As Senators, they learn to work deals and operate by consensus -- they don't necessarily lead. Nor do they manage a large staff.

But Cruz will have been a Senator for only four years. He won't be trapped in that box.
