"It should be noted that, after the charismatic Woodrow Wilson, none of the next three presidents was the least bit charismatic. Let us hope that the voters today have also learned how dangerous charisma and glib rhetoric can be — and what a childish self-indulgence it is to choose a president on the basis of symbolism. Woodrow Wilson was the first Southerner to be elected president since the Civil War, as Obama was to become the first black president. But neither fact qualified them to wield the enormous powers of the presidency. Nor will being the first woman president, the first Hispanic president or other such firsts."

Some might think that favorable to a Ted Cruz candidacy . . . .

In my view Cruz is more than qualified.

Go Ted Cruz!

Ted Cruz is my senator and I HOPE he will soon be my next president! Brilliant man.
