Yes I do. But I can live with it.
However Cruz is still a little light in experience. Still a very junior freshman Senator. And still an Ivy League trained lawyer.
Sound familiar?
.
Cruz is heavy in the right experience.
Legislative experience is always counter productive to a proper presidency. Reagan showed that in spades.
His law experience is what has allowed him to demolish every reporter’s attempts to harm his candidacy.
Cruz is our only candidate. The rest are shills for the opposition.
.
Yes. I would pick this honorable man above the feckless fool on the hill in a heartbeat. Cruz is a patriot, not a worthless community agitator, as is the worthless feckless one. I sense a slight proclivity for the left from your post.
Comparing Cruz to obama? Ha!

Pretty impressive...
• Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 - May 2008, Cruz was the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country, not to mention the longest tenure in Texas history.
• Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice.
• Cruz has authored 80+ SCOTUS briefs and presented 40+ oral arguments before The Court
• Cruz served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Cruz was the first Hispanic ever to clerk for a Chief Justice of the United States
• Described as a ‘superb’ constitutional lawyer, the man’s considerable skills and laser-like focus were on display for all when he took oily reptile Eric Holder by the neck and made him answer the damn question.
• In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms.
• Cruz presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
• In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds, the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools and the majority of the 2003 Texas redistricting plan. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.
• Director of the Office of Policy Planning at the Federal Trade Commission
• Domestic Policy Advisor to U.S. President George W. Bush on the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.
• Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Texas School of Law in Austin, where he taught U.S. Supreme Court litigation
• Ted Cruz is currently junior US Senator from Texas. In order to win the 2012 Republican nomination for the Senate seat vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz had to defeat Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst -heavily favored/backed by the DC old-guard GOP- in the Republican primary runoff. In the event, TEA Party favorite Cruz crushed Dewhurst, 57-43%...he then beat Democrat Paul Sadler in the general election by a similar margin, 56-41. Cruz is also endorsed by the Tea Party Movement and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Did Mr. Obama run a division of the Federal Trade Commission before his time in the Senate? Was he the Solicitor General for a large, populous state with thousands of employees and many Supreme Court victories prior to his Senate term? Was he an Assistant Secretary at the Justice Department? Was he a partner at several major law firms with many people reporting to him and a stellar record? Was he an advisor to a presidential candidate/president-elect/president before being elected Senator? I could go on and on...
How did he do as Solicitor for the State of Texas when he had that job? How about his arguments in front of SCOTUS?
Yep. I'll keep sending him money just to cope with folks with an agenda.

Was Obama the Solicitor General for one of the largest states who successfully argued religious freedom questions before a liberal Supreme Court, and didn't spend his youth rabble-rousing?
Sound familiar?"
Only to those who haven't taken the trouble to actually think past your false comparison.
Obama, a lightweight street agitator, has managed to push through and accomplish much of his agenda. He's running circles around career politicians. Cruz, on the other hand, has more experience and is a brilliant man. Imagine what he could accomplish as president.
As Rush Limbaugh said, it isn't the experience, or the lack of it, that matters---it's the ideology. Obama wouldn't be a better president if he had governed a state---he would still be a disaster.
Ted Cruz is a natural leader.
No.
