People with principles, as in our Founder's principles, do not pant after the presidency. In fact, our Founders believed it was a serious fault to desire it too strongly.
Hillary and Obama have that bad kind of desire which makes them the head cheese to where they are enabled to lord it over everybody.
Cruz, on the other hand, has the proper desire which is "disinterested" meaning the job must be done and it must be done well, but not to the point where people's freedoms are impinged.
Ted Cruz is the only potential candidate who actually believes that Americans don't need a Grand Babysitter. Most of the other ones believe that they can hold our hands better than the next guy.
We don't need a babysitter with taxing prowess, we need that one who knows that we are completely capable of doing what we need to do to make America work like a fine-tuned machine, while doing his job of upholding the Constitution.
