Like Rubio he got into politics in high school and like Rubio he has been in local, state and now national politics. On the national stage for less than three years. He stands no chance of being elected president. I like Cruz, but he needs some national exposure and accomplishments before he runs for president. The exact same thing for Rubio. To hell with politicians. Politicians got us in the mess were in now and the only one who is not bought and paid for is Donald Trump. I think one day he could become president, but it’ll be after the corrupt system is cleaned up and he’s not the one to do it. He’s very good and in a perfect world could run and win, but no democrat is voting for Ted Cruz. Rubio, who I’m not a fan of, would have a better chance in a general election.
This is typical. Your posts demonstrate that you really don’t know Ted Cruz’s career.
Ted Cruz was in local and state politics? Prior to the Senate, can you name ONE election in which he was a candidate? (Hint: None. He had an appointment to Solicitor General, but that is a legal role in an administration, not an elected position. For reference, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a similarly appointed role. Would you say that is a political position?)
You say he has only been on the national stage for three years. Incorrect. As a lawyer, he has been involved in many national cases, including Heller! Personally, I view involvement in the Heller case as more impressive conservative credentials as being involved in a reality television show.
The funny thing is that you, too, have bought into the line that he is “unelectable.” The same line the liberal media created for Reagan. You like him, but think he can’t win. I think Trump will actually have trouble winning, and if he does, I will by you a steak dinner if, after four years, the people of FreeRepublic aren’t clamoring about “being betrayed” and “disappointed by how liberal he really turned out to be.”
So, pick your candidate based on who the media tells you can win. Or, pick - and support - a candidate who will actually be conservative. Your choice.
