You make some excellent points. To me, the biggest thing Cruz and Obama have in common is rough childhoods. Obama was abandoned by both parents, turned over first to a tranny nanny-roommate, and finally shuttled off on the grandparents. Cruz had not one but two parents with alcohol issues, abandonment, and indications that the home life continued to be troubled even after the reconciliation (hence the eventual divorce).
A troubled home life takes its toll on a child in a range of ways. We like to think that the moment the child turns into an adult the troubles are a thing of the past. They persist, however, which is why people refer to generational issues. Obama’s carry-over problems from his sad and chaotic childhood are well known. Cruz’ are just beginning to surface.
Thanks for the insight and comparisons. There appears to be a link besides being Ivy League Lawyers and first term $inators.
