“If Cruz was able to wield the authority of an owner and CEO of a company would he get results? Or if Trump was one freshman senator in an exclusive and archaically stratified rich man’s club, how effective would he be?”
To be blunt? I dont care.
Theory isn’t a substitute for results and evidence. Right now Cruz goes from one senate defeat after another with an apparent GOP majority. That tells me that as president (and it pains me to say this) that he is going to have no pull in either house.
And if this guy wont have the influence by just being one of them and at least trying, then it is time to just take a sledgehammer to it all.
“The presidency is the top executive position in a POLITICAL system, where other players have power and authority.”
All the reason why you take a sledgehammer to this, because that’s what it has become. Trump sees their vaulted authority and power and doesn’t care. It’s just monkeys in expensive suits that think they rule us.
“He’s no Eisenhower, the last person for whom the presidency was his first elective office.”
So then why elect some old general when there were perfectly fine senators to put in a “political” office?
Your totally wrong on Ted Cruz’s so called defeats in the Senate and the sound bites by many of Trump fans.
Starting to sound like old Fox News Brit Hume there.
This is no excuse in regards to Ted Cruz’s defeats in the Senate.
Ted Cruz isn’t God like like some portray Donald Trump as.
To make matters worse you have Mitch McConnell as the GOP leader in the Senate with the GOPe gangsters pushing though their agenda.
One man can’t do it all...
That’s the jib picking question that Ted Cruz responded to from Brit Hume when Brit Hume asked Ted Cruz “ What have you done ? “.
