....”has he ever run anything in his life? Like a state or a fortune 500 company. I am sick of rhetoric”....
You might find Trumps speech good on that note. ...he had much to say of building and businesses both here and abroad....
I know many thing he’s purely entertainment but he calls things as they are and presents his take and why he sees as he does.
I’m for Cruz because he would make a great leader...because he is all to familiar with WAshington....knows their game....and the Gops as well....
Also he stands firmly on the Constitution and understands that fully. He understands “Law”.
Further he has met all my tests for what this country needs in a leader......which is what we need more than anything else IMO.
Not to mention he can take any of them on who he’s running against of the Gop as well as the Democrats.
So I’m in his court fully.
Trump likes Cruz as well. Trump calls Cruz a “good friend.”
Thank you for your answer. I considered Trump a possibility in the past. But no longer. He might be a good business person, but he is no leader. His vision might be OK. But his delivery and his style is abrasive and condescending.
My question about Cruz had more to do with his background and why the folks in TX were in love with him. I was interested in what he had done before.
Some of the answers have filled in those blanks and certainly makes me want learn more about him.
What a lot of people on FR do not “get” is that the country is large and TX candidates and office holders do not get a lot of play.
As an example, MA has presented a lot of Presidential Candidates in my life time. Our Commonwealth is small. I know some of these guys through my professional connections. Not golf playing buddies, but we are friends with the same professional people in government. That said, I know things about Dukakis, Kerry, Romney, and Warren that the average guy on the street would not now. As such, I KNOW first hand that they guys are not qualified to the President (beyond the obvious communist leanings—I am speaking of personal issues that are not in the mainstream press.)
I would not expect anyone to share personal information that would be detrimental to a relationship. However, I can tell you that one of those names I listed had no problems taking long, private, limo rides with young female reporters when his position was more “local” than state wide. His inappropriate relations were his deal—not mine, but I knew business people who were very careful with their dealings with him after that. Today, I imagine there are leaders of other countries in the world who are equally careful; or who might feed that type of activity. He thinks he is beyond reproach. But personalities do not change.
I guess I was looking for information who are closer (geographically) to him. Those impressions and information are a lot more important than what you are every going to find on google.
Thanks for your response, I appreciate it.
He’s got a quick sense of humor and he’s smart, to boot.
However, I feel sorry for whoever comes in after Obama. All Obama’s hell is going to break loose globally and economically. The military is queer and weak. He picked leaders in love with the enemy.
