Did you ever think that he wanted that authority once he was sitting in the Oval Office? Ted Cruz has some faults, but lack of self-confidence does not appear to be one of them. At this stage in his senate race he was a relative unknown and at 3% in the polls and David Dewhurt’s wife was looking for a Georgetown townhouse.
And this desire for additional power justifies the risk? i wouldn’t give this sort of power to any president. Yet because he thinks he might be the president we should hand that sort of power to dear leader in the mean time?
And what does that say about his “conservative” principles? Give the office of president more power, because our side will will win and will handle it better and certainly won’t abuse it?
