What about one-term congressmen?
I am so tired of hearing this idea that governors make the best presidents, which has not been borne out by history.
Over the past 100 years (or so) we have had 8 presidents with prior gubernatorial experience:
Theodore Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson
Calvin Coolidge
Franklin Roosevelt
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan
Bill Clinton
George W. Bush
With the exception of Ronald Reagan and Calvin Coolidge, the remaining six have been unmitigated disasters.
That's hardly an encouraging record.
And Reagan wasn’t a great president because he was a governor. He was a great president because he understood what America was all about, loved liberty, limited government and free markets, and knew how to sell it.
I like a lot of what I know about Walker, but the fact is that he appears to be a supporter of amnesty/immigration reform -- which is a deal killer as for as I am concerned.
Ted Cruz is the ONLY consistent, articulate conservative candidate who seems to understand the proper role of the federal government in all respects.
And Obama isn’t a terrible president because he only served one term in the Senate.
He’s a terrible president because he is an America-hating extreme leftist who never knew anybody who wasn’t a racist leftist America hater.
Obama is a terrible president because he has a staggering ignorance of American culture and history.
Obama is a terrible president because he is a megalomaniacal psychopath with delusions of Godhood.
Obama is a terrible president because he is intellectually lazy and has the emotional maturity of a 14-year-old.
And those are just some of the reasons.
I believe that when one looks at the whole pack, Cruz is the only one who has the brains, the principles and the experience to save this country, if in fact it can be saved after 100 years of Progressive leftist infestation by both parties.
