sorry for the confused post. I know of his experience and thank you for letting me read it again

I want a president with executive experience and prefer one of the conservative governors.

America is currently suffering a tyranny of lawyers above and beyond Barack Obama

I recognize Sen Cruz as a fantastic conservative but believe his best service will be in the Senate

As someone who worked for two ex-governors who became presidents, I disagree. President Carter did a decent job, as far as I've heard, as governor of Georgia, but he was not able to delegate sufficiently in the White House and was obviously over his head as president. On the other hand, President Reagan knew how to delegate and how to talk and debate, which are some of the reasons that his presidency was so successful and monumental. Just having “governor” on your resume insures nothing. Look at how they discounted Gov. Palin’s achievements as Alaska's chief executive in 2008 and since then. Harry Truman was never a governor and was only vice president long enough to get moved in to the Naval Observatory.

I’m not sure how to put Cruz into any category. He has been thru many differing
positions. He seems to be one that moves from enterprise to enterprise. Thus a term
or two in the Senate may be his limit. Consequently eight years in the Oval office
maybe in his sights. We’ll see.

I’m willing to concede that many people are smarter than I am, sometimes much smarter — for example, Ted Cruz. It’s also clear from his record that Ted Cruz is smarter than almost everyone else, including most Republicans.

Ted Cruz graduated with honors from Princeton and the Harvard Law School, one of whose most distinguished professors, Alan Dershowitz, has gone on record to say that Ted Cruz was one of the most brilliant students he ever taught.

Senator Cruz also served as a Supreme Court clerk; came from far behind in the polls to win his Texas Senate seat; and in a matter of little more than a year in Washington has become a front runner for the Republican 2016 presidential nomination, picking up the most coveted Conservative endorsement — Sarah Palin’s — along the way.

Ted Cruz is an expert at winning, and if he thinks he can win the presidency in 2016, who am I to disagree with him? After eight years of President Obama, only a towering genius will be able to undo the damage. And Ted Cruz is the only candidate who even remotely qualifies. Rand Paul, his principal opponent, is a mediocre product of nepotism; he inherited his father’s supporters.

Do we want a better country or not?
