Never gonna happen.
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.
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.
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.
