Ted Cruz. Bob
In ‘16, Cruz will have had four years experience in the Senate. That’s hardly prep for POTUS, as we’ve seen.
It’s one thing to think Cruz (or Rubio or whoever the star of the day might be) is doing great. That doesn’t mean he has the experience needed to be an effective POTUS. There’s NO executive experience in the Senate. After 4 years in the Senate (2 of which would necessarily be spent campaigning), they’ve barely learned where the keys to the men’s room are, much less where all the bodies are buried in the federal bureaucracy.
Unfortunately the Office of POTUS has become more a matter of celebrity and who we ‘like’ than qualifications to do the job effectively.
