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.

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.

Finally, he has no eligibility issues except in the minds of some crankpots.

Your supporting premises for your conclusion are laughable and without merit.
