{”Cruz needs a decade or two of making payroll.....you know, where you sign the FRONT of the checks AND guarantee they’ll cash.”}
Having owned three businesses and made payroll, and sometimes under extremely trying circumstances ( like 2008 crash), I hardly see that as qualification for being President of the US.
We’ve had businessmen presidents before. Hoover ran a mine and was a mining engineer. Carter ran the peanut farm. H.W.Bush made a fortune in the oil business before politics, George W. had a Master’s Degree in Business.
Cruz graduated in the top of his class at Princeton and Harvard, edited The Harvard Law Review (and actually wrote reviews, as opposed to lazy Obama who did not). He was Sol. Gen. in Texas for 5 years and argued 9 cases before the US Supreme Court. He also served as an appellate attorney in private practice. He ran a grassroots campaign to win the Senate seat as an underdog.
Personally, I have a lot of confidence in Cruz’ creddentials.
Further, some of our best presidents have actually been career politicians.
Yes, I’m well aware of my Senators resume.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on the experience issue ;-)
