Barack Obama has set the new standard for what the qualifications to be president are.

And by these standard Cruz is way overqualified.

Ted Cruz is more like our Founders than almost anyone I know today, which means he very easily could leave everyone in the dust.

Enter, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, whose critics scoff that he lacks the experience to be president. “What has Ted Cruz accomplished?” they sneeringly ask.

I’ve actually seen some dim-wits here at FR ask that. Its appalling how ignorant some people are.

You elected the homo, twice, and you have the nerve to ask if Cruz is qualified? Using Obama as a standard, my cocker spaniel is qualified.

Cart before the horse there Rooster. If anyone would dare question the Cruz credentials, then how could they elect someone with NO political credentials.

The last several years have set the bar pretty low.

Does it really matter this year?

Come to think of it, did it really matter last time or the time before that or the time before that?

The most "experienced" nominees of the last 10 years were McCain and Kerry. Neither was a very good candidate and neither would have made a very good president.

So, yeah, Ted Cruz doesn't have as much experience as he should, but that doesn't really seem to be as important as it once did.

Experiencewise, Cruz 2016 has Obama 2008 beat (though that's not saying much).

The qualifications for president are:
35 years of age or older
14 years residence in the U.S.
Natural Born Citizen (currently defined as a statutory “Citizen of the United States at Birth”)
Get 270 electoral votes

That’s it.

I don’t think he’s questioning Cruz qualifications. But there’s more to leadership than a political resume. By definition leadership is the ability to get people to follow you. Right now it’s clear who is best able to do that.

The person that is elected by the people is qualified. In fact its the only qualification that counts.

I trust Cruz to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America more than anyone else in the running.
That is my litmus test.

Cruz 2016

Cruz is far more qualified than 0bama was. Or Romney. Or Comrade Juan McNuts for that matter.
