The Cruzers would like to replace a Harvard-educated lawyer who served less than one term in the Senate with another Harvard-educated lawyer who has served less than one term in the Senate.

I am sure that it would work much better this time. /s

There is a slight difference ... Obama was at Harvard.

Ted was Harvard educated.

But Ted is no elitist. He worked his way through school. He did not have wealthy parents.

Making that glib connection holds no water at all.

Cruz excelled as a student and was described by Alan Dershowitz as among the very brightest he has ever taught at Harvard Law. After graduation he got real jobs as lawyer at the highest levels, including an almost impossible to get Supreme Court clerkship. On the other hand, Zero is an affirmative action slacker who has never succeeded at anything other than convincing the gullible and gimme dats to vote for him. I do not necessarily think lawyers and senators are best equipped for the presidency - and I will support Cruz or Trump - but Cruz and Zero are in entirely different leagues.
