Isn’t this the same argument that persuaded Obama to hire Biden as VP and Hillary as State Department go-to-gal?
Ted Cruz certainly has had a chance to see exactly how not to be president by watching Obama.
What was Abraham Lincoln’s “executive experience” before being elected President? Just asking.
Experience? The Left is actually talking about that?
What a laugh. Mitt Romney, Capitalist Smurf in Chief, had fabulous experience. If you wanted a great manager who could run a giant money guzzling bureaucracy, there’s been no one like him in the last 5 decades.
Didn’t do him a damn bit of good.
This is all a Red Herring. Up against a woman who is a congenital liar, mainly known for being married to the 2nd President ever impeached?
Please.
Follow the Constitution!! I think that is all anyone really needs.
“But experience is never a weakness,”
Nor is it necessarily a strength.
It can mean you are bought & paid for

Case closed.
As a Solicitor General, he had charge of a whole group of lawyers. That’s like herding cats. I know, I used to work for lawyers. They all have egos that barely fit into the room.
Since Cruz never had any issues as the boss of lawyers, I’d say he had more than the skills necessary to be a President.
And, Cruz has no ideological issues - he’s well-known as true patriot - strong for America, her military, her people. Obama has none of those qualities - so to say Cruz is just like Obama is ARROGANT STUPIDITY.
The only response that he needs to use is:
“I have the same amount of experience that our current president had at the time he ran for president. Since you didn’t have a problem with his “lack of executive experience” why are you having a problem with mine?”
Reminds me on the lesson Lincoln learned he had a good bunch of Generals that were great organizers, but they couldn’t win any battles. Now Grant wasn’t the greatest organizer, but he could win battles.
Cruz is a fast learner. I do not fear his, so-called, lack of executive experience.
Wasn’t he the head Legal Eagle in Texas, managing something like several hundred other lawyers? Thought I read that somewhere.
Racists. How dare they insinuate that a minority is too stupid and inexperienced to become president?
“TED CRUZ: Well, unlike Barack Obama, I was not a community organizer before I was elected to the senate. I spent 5 1/2 years as the solicitor general of Texas, the chief lawyer for Texas in front of the U.S. Supreme Court. I supervised and led every year before the state of Texas in a 4,000 agency with over 700 lawyers. “
“Some said Cruz is nothing more than a conservative Barack Obama”
Only demented libs think/say that.
or just a President with common sense
What? There are like 15 cabinet positions alone that report to the president.
...Obama ended up with a fairly chaotic executive branch that was often saying one thing and doing another, and often had many people moving in different directions. Now conservatives might say, “Good! We didn’t want Obama to be successful with his agenda!” I understand that.
The Obama administration has been one of the most successful administrations. Obama has purposely and drastically changed the country for the worse.
Since Cruz has less experience in this area than, say, Scott Walker or Jeb Bush...
Gee what a surprise. I like the way the author uses the word "say" as if the names Scott Walker and Jeb Bush just happened to come to his mind as he was writing this piece, instead of they actually being the reason why he wrote this piece...
it would be important for him as president to have a very strong vice president and chief of staff ...Cruz should acknowledge that his relative lack of executive management experience is a challenge for which he needs a strategy, and he should tell us what it is.
What condescending crap. Cruz has a long resume that proves he is able to manage. Perhaps the guy who wrote this condescending article should go read Cruz's resume.
Including all that, there is nobody more qualified to be President.
This article is nonsense.
BTW, where are the so-concerned hand wringing articles about Walker’s and Bush’s lack of national and foreign policy experience?
Obama has six plus years as president, and he still has no executive experience.
...and Herman Cain, who ran for president and was wiped out has which experience to advise Cruz? Just sayin...
