3. I do believe in conservative principles which is why Cruz troubles me. It isnt that Cruz isnt a conservative, he is. I dont simply want a conservative to be President, I want a conservative who will be effective as President. There just isnt any evidence that Cruz will be effective, largely because he has no experience. Hes never gotten anything done in the Senate, which is understandable considering hes only been there two years.
So I am guessing that your position is that a Governor makes a better President because he gets something done, is that correct observation on my part?

I think Governors have the sort of executive governing experience that a Senator simply doesn’t have. In that respect, I prefer former Governors. That isn’t exclusive though. If Cruz was a 10 year veteran of the Senate, with a list of accomplishment I may very well get behind him. My issue is that he’s only been in the Senate for two years, exactly the same as Obama when he announced he was running for President in 2007. Obviously Cruz and Obama are politically on opposite sides of the spectrum but they do share inexperience in common.

Sounds like a Bush supporter to me.
"I like Cruz, right on conservative principles but not experienced nor electable".
