I am always going to prefer a sitting/former Governor of a state in the Oval Office. If you can show me that you can successfully run a state in a conservative manner I would be more willing to trust you with national command authority. I do not trust current/former legislators with the reins of government. Legislators are trained compromisers, not trained leaders. The prime example is, of course, the train wreck currently occupying the Oval Office.

That being said, I do like Ted Cruz's total brass in facing down the enemy. He needs to get elected Governor of Texas for a term and then run for POTUS. If he can keep his integrity, courage and values through all that he would be a dynamite candidate and a great President.

Read his bio, it might change your mind. For a man of only 43 years, he’s done more than many 65 year olds:
