Do you really think it is their educational careers rather than their ideology which separates these two men? How superficial an analysis! Ted Cruz earned his way up the academic ladder by virtue of merit whereas Barack Obama quite obviously was passed along because of his ideology and his skin color. Obama was put on the Law Review by virtue of his skin color and never published an article. Ted Cruz emerged with such a credible reputation that he was made a clerk at the United States Supreme Court.
Also lost to you, is that one can be a good insider. Jeff Session and Mile Lee for example. Not everyone contacted (insider) with government in Washington DC is a bad guy.
It is hardly a point lost on me but the very point I made by drawing the parallel between entering the courtroom as an adversary and entering the Senate as an adversary just as Mike Lee and Jeff sessions, both intimate allies of Ted Cruz whom use it with approval, have done. As I said, presence inside the building does not make one an insider.
I do not think anyone is making the claim that Trump is not an "insider" in that he too has instant access to just about anyone he wants in DC. However he is an insider in open rebellion, ringing the alarm bells and pointing out the damage being done to the nation by that ruling elite
For heavens sake, what has Ted Cruz been doing? How is it that Trump supporters can swallow a camel and strain at a gnat? Whatever hell Trump has been raising for the most part has been raised after he spent $1 million in identifying the issues which might propel him into the White House. Those issues once delivered to him caused him to flip-flop on virtually every important issue of the day as well as membership in a political party.
Born on third base? Lol, Your pathetic class envy is showing. Trump earned his money the old fashion way
If the old-fashioned way is farming the government, bankrupting business associates, creditors and lenders, greasing politicians, working with corrupt unions, hiring illegal immigrant workers, and committing moral and almost certainly, legal, fraud, then Donald Trump has made his money the old-fashioned way.
Unlike your hero Cruz who has been sucking on the government titty most of his adult life.
Good God! Trump has been farming the government and committing crony capitalism his entire career. Ted Cruz has worked for government wages at the very highest levels of his profession whereas he could have been making a lot more money in the private sector with his skill set.

Really nathanbedford do try to keep up. Just because Cruz fooled you with his "I'm the only true conservative act" does not change the objective truth that his resume' is remarkably similar to Obamas'. I well grant you that if you dig into their resumes Cruzs' is a bit more impressive since he doesn't get any Affirmative Action points. But that does not change the fact that their resumes that pretty much the same.
No real world experience always sucking on DotGov tit.
