You left out a few things.
McCain finished third from the bottom of his Naval Academy class. He graduated only because his father and grandfather were four star Admirals. I know a guy who graduated with him and the joke was all you had to do was be ahead of McCain in order to graduate. It wasn’t difficult.
Among other things, Ted Cruz was a clerk for Chief Justice William Rhenquist.
Cruz is a brilliant man and a patriot.
It’s right there:
and he did not always obey the rules, which contributed to a low class rank (894 of 899),
Plus, the father and g father info is in the work I cited, right at the top of the paragraph on his education.
it is general knowledge at FR that’s what his story was.
As for Cruz, I included just the education, responding to the post looking for their educational careers.
If we compare professional careers I’ll have to point out the widely vast differences and it would take awhile. McCain’s is short.
