Your comments inspired me to read over the biographies of Cruz and Reagan.

Turns out, their backgrounds and careers have nothing in common at all.

Certainly correct.

Reagan was not a lawyer, did not go to Ivy League schools, served in the US military, and worked in the private sector several decades before going into politics.

To me that is a great resume.

Turns out, their backgrounds and careers have nothing in common at all.

The only common threads between Reagan and Cruz are their conservative views of government (less is better, Constitution is supreme, strong national defense), their faith in the American people, their positive approach, and their determination and ability to talk over the MSM directly to the people, rather than let the MSM control and distort their message.

Now whether Cruz can be as good as Reagan was at this remains to be seen.

That's not really the issue, is it?!

We're talking about the similarities between them in the context of becoming POTUS.

Similarities concerning:

1. Ability to communicate.
2. Fidelity to conservative policy positions
3. Fearlessness in the face of the persecution by those in both the opposing and their own political parties
4. The Ability to Lead the conservative cause

On all of these important and seminal characteristics Cruz easily matches up to Ronald Reagan. He just proved the communication skill-set by his speech at Liberty University and the 1 hour long interview with Hannity.
