Cruz doesn't have a chance in hell. He's a junior senator with no executive experience, opposition from his own party, eligibility issues and he's facing off against a pre-decided candidate with a powerful last name.

Never gonna happen.

Let’s say you spent your Adult life living under the dragon, and were dedicated to learning the chinks in the dragon’s armor to slay it, the Dragon being the Fed.

Ted has studied for 20 years how best to bring down the Dragon. He declared for POTUS so he can do exactly that. You could use David v. Goliath as a metaphor if you choose.

Barack Hussein Obama has studied for 20 years how to bring down the American Eagle, and damned near succeeded, consider that.

Executive Experience?

So Scott Walker signed bills that the GOP Controlled legislature did all the heavy lifting on and somehow that makes him more qualified than Ted Cruz?

You do realize there have been just as many horrible Presidents that had your vaunted "Executive Experience" and managed to destroy much of our precious individual liberties right?

Furthermore, you do realize that to date, sixteen of our Presidents were either senators or had no "Executive Experience" before they became President of the United States, many who have not only made decent Presidents but Good Presidents as well. Three senators, Warren G. Harding, John F. Kennedy, and Barack Obama moved directly from the U.S. Senate to the White House.

Lighter than air man flight, never going to happen, so they said in the late 19th century.
