What had Abraham Lincoln ever run before he was elected president? His only government experience of any kind was as a one term congressman. Yet he somehow won a civil war. John Kennedy never ran anything bigger than a torpedo boat prior to his presidency, but he started us towards the moon.
Right. And even Reagan — he had been a governor but as a president was it his role as an executive or as a visionary that we appreciate him for?
Any old farmer in the 1800s could have ran for President. Different times then.

Good points. But it’s a straw man argument, and no matter what you say, it will be deemed irrelevant.
Do we want a RINO that has ran corporations or a state? We had that option last time. He lost against someone who not only never ran anything, but never had a real job either. So that constantly-harped on here argument is just a ploy to misdirect the conversation. And I will bring this up every time I see it ;)
I personally want someone with solid conservative values, that doesn’t flip-flop because it is politically expedient. Cruz has been tested in the corrupting environmental of DC and has proven himself to be incorruptible. That’s pretty impressive.
