Well just a small idea of Cruz experience....would certainly suggest he’d have no issue with delegating responsibility....
...Private practice with the law firm now known as Cooper & Kirk and later with Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, LLP.
....The George Bush campaign including drafting the winning argument in Bush v. Gore.
....Associate Deputy Attorney General, US Department of Justice.
.....Domestic Policy Advisor, Bush White House.
....Director of Policy Planning, Federal Trade Commission.
....Longest serving Solicitor General for Texas.
.....US Senator.
Whether you think this experience is relevant or not is a value judgment.... To say that someone with this ‘sustained’ experience at the highest levels of state and federal government doesnât have experience is rather buffoonish.
Some would make the virtue of executive experience a deal breaker just the same........... I would counsel that executive experience is only important if it is coupled with an executive ‘temperament’.
Being an successful executive may entail knowing how to delegate and what to focus on, but it doesnât necessarily follow. ....Peter Druckerâs seminal work, The Peter Principle, is devoted to people who were successful until they werenât. In the words of Frederick the Great, âI once had an ass who followed me on a dozen campaigns, at the end he was still an ass.â
This kind of resume might indeed work to Cruz’s advantage — still, many people are just going to tag him Senator, which if Cruz really is a good boss, is a step down which is like asking why a software engineer was driving taxis as his most recent job. The Senate hardly is an esteemed body in the American eye today. Its old Constitutionally august nature changed with the means of electing it.
