He shouldn’t run for prez. I like him and he’s the current soul of the Conservative Party, but he’s a Senator and Senators rarely make good presidents. He needs a governorship or high impact Cabinet position for a while, but I would much rather have him as Senate Majority Leader.
I have the feeling Cruz sees POTUS as a divine calling that he is obligated to follow. I do not see any negatives to that.
But are you aware of anybody else with:
a. Cruz' conservative principles?
b. His steadfastness in favor of those principles?
c. His demonstrated leadership ability?
d. His backbone and willingness to take on tough tasks in the face of fierce opposition?
Senators tend to fail in executive positions because they're consensus-seekers, not leaders. Cruz isn't a consensus-seeker; he is a leader.
Cruz is the best we've got. Indeed, he's the best we've had...in a long, long time.
