You’re kinda dense aren’t ya? This is the 2nd time today I’ve had to explain things to you.

It has nothing to do with holding an elected office before running for President. It has to do with Cruz running for and winning a Senate seat and then instead of doing what he promised to do as a US Senator, he started running for President before he’s even completed his first term. At least Rubio made a choice.

If Cruz had filed to run for President as a regular citizen like Trump, Fiorina, Carson, Jeb, etc did, I would have no problem with it whatsoever. Or if he’d resigned from the Senate. But he took an oath to serve as a Senator, and he isn’t doing the job he was elected to do.

And his Texas supporters don't have a problem with that, bigbob.

In fact, we kinda like the fact that Senator Cruz is running for President. We believe he'd make a damn fine one.

What job has Cruz not done as Senator? He’s out there representing Texas values on the national stage. He hasn’t allowed any bill to pass or not pass based on his vote being absent. If Texans liked Cruz enough to vote him Senator, why would they not want him to be President even moreso? Please don’t speak for Texans if you’re not one of them. You have no standing.

But stiffing investors by bankruptcies is okay?

....what he promised to do as a US Senator..

What he promised to do as a US Senator was to go to DC and fight the DC Cartel and he did that tooth and nail. He called the liars out by name. By name, not calling them "my friend", by name. That is what he promised to me, the one who voted for him from Texas. The one who said, Senator run for President, we need you to bring back America as millions of others did and others did here on FR.

But he took an oath to serve as a Senator,

No, he took an oath of office not much different than the military oath to defend the US against harm from outside and within and to execute that oath honorably. Not to serve out a TERM. No where in the oath does it say he has to be in a chair for 6 years, BB.

Senator Cruz received enough requests from people like me and others from the US to run and he did.

Do not have to reply back with another of your idiotic responses. This is what it is
