Having served only three years in the Senate should not give anyone confidence. Look at the last junior senator that was elected.
Lets look at the example you posted,prior to Obama becoming a Senator he was nothing more than a sleazy hollow street organizer hustler. As just one example before Cruz became a Senator he was the Director of Planning at the Federal Trade Commission,Associate Deputy Attorney General at the United States Department of Justice,Solicitor General of Texas and also an adjunct Professor teaching US Supreme Court Litigation so i would really have to say it’s way out in left field to remotely compare Cruz in any manner imaginable.
Never said that Cruz isn’t qualified for being a judge or even making laws as a Senator Aside from being a professor and lawyer, what executive experience does he possess? Has he ever employed, met a payroll, negotiated a deal?
Ted’s resume is filled to overflowing with gubmint jobs. How very inspiring.
how is it Cruz got those positions? who does he know? who did he work for years ago, palms did he grease.....?
Actually, only 3 first-term US Senators have been elected to the Presidency in our history, and for good reason.
The 3 are Warren Harding (the country robbed blind by his political friends), JFK (almost got us all killed through incompetence, started Vietnam) and Barack Obama (nothing need be said here).
The skill set for being a Senator (basically being a bullshit artist) and being Chief Executive are very, very different.
The phenomenon of being honored by election to the Senate, waking up the next morning, deciding it's not enough and what the nation needs is for you to be President is a manifestation of ambition sickness.
