For that matter, most anyone who's reading this right now would make a better President.
How could we do any worse?
You really should research Ted’s resume. I woulod say he has a great deal of leadership experience.
Relative to the corrupt narcissistic sociopath
who is in the White Mosque now,
a common rat or even Syrian hamster would do better.
My only concern is that he has not shown a desire to make alliances within his party. But then again much of that party are RINOs.
Sorry Leo....here is where I break with you on this “governance” and experience meme.
To me an effective manager (as in say the Executive Branch) is to start with a set of rules by which to govern and manage then then use them without bias, abide by them to implement a vision that has been clearly articulated.
It’s called leading from the front - the exact opposite of what Obama has done.
Your understanding of the role of President is lacking.
Your analogy with Obama is an epic fail.
your shallow argument is that Cruz has roughly the same experience as Obama. Okay, let’s run with that.
Obama’s gotten done damned near everything he wanted to get done - with zero executive experience. So I axe you two questions:
A: Do you really think this kind of experience is what the POTUS job is about?
B: Wouldn’t it be great if Cruz can get damned near everything he wants done?
Let’s see. The job of the president is to protect and defend the constitution and to make sure those in government are doing that
Cruz’s main opponents are these purveyors of their beloved idiocracy
Will Ted Cruz Make A Good President?
If you mean by a good President, that he will give free stuff away to the point that the country is fiscally insolvent, the answer is no. If you mean that he will put the brakes on hand-outs, government interfering in our lives and will shrink the size (and reach)of government than the answer is YES!
Yes. Next question.
We need unwavering integrity more than experience. Cruz seems to have it.
Does this author, the classical narcissist himself, believe himself qualified to write about who should be president?
After “O”-the guy who empties the waste basket here would be a good President. :)
Puh-leeze.
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 wasnt 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.
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.
You think if Cruz had four Senate terms, that would make him a better presidential prospect? Really? How? By getting him so entrenched as a lifer in the GOPe that he'd owe all the other RINOs all kinds of favors? You think being a three-term Senator would make him a good president, like President McCain?
Check out Cruz's resume. He's a very accomplished guy.
You say, "well, his principles are nice, but . . . ." Rubbish -- the principles are the MAIN requirement, and he is the only one who has them.
Certainly better than what we have now. Hell, a dead skunk in the middle of the road would be better than we have now.
