As of right now, today we have three ( 3 ) first term Senators officially running for President. Something about that rubs me the wrong way. Mainly the lack of a record. Actually Rubio has more of an elected office record than the other two.
Cruz is really only one year into his term.
Paul decided he was so valuable, he would have his Republican buddies jerry the system in order to run for both the Senate and the presidency.
Rubio has said he will not run for reelection next year.
So to me: Advantage Rubio
If these are the only candidates and of course they are not, I would have to vote for Cruz. He agrees with me on more issues that Rubio. And Paul completely disqualified himself by queering the system and running for two offices.
Senator Cruz was the youngest and longest-serving Solicitor General in Texas history, supervising a department with about 4,000 workers. Before that, he was a US Justice Department official, an advisor to a presidential candidate/President-elect/President, and later a high-level Federal Trade Commission official, as well as a partner in several large law firms and a law professor.
Mainly the 17th Amendment.
