I am distinguishing their attributes. When it comes to voting, it depends upon what the choices are, doesn't it?
He read many things for many hours. If that disqualifies him then most of the gop field is disqualified with some of the stunts far more outrageous than reading Dr. Seuss and most of these utterances by the rest of the gop herd were made as serious policy statements!
Who said anything about disqualification? I was stating a preference. Cruz' talents are rhetorical, which is clearly more suited to the Senate or the SCOTUS. That's a far cry from managing budgets, dealing with team-building, luring talent, or discipline problems as do administrators.
This is the primary talent required of a leader. The Presidency is called the Bully Pulpit for a reason. Cruz can do the job - brilliantly I might add. Plus he's not a fag. Everyone else is a fag.
This is demonstrably untrue.
Because Stassen is dead.
What about Scott Walker and Ted Cruz? Either one on top of the ticket.
I remember wanting Pence to run, but that was before Palin and Cruz became the biggest stars
By that measure, then, Schwarzenegger and Brown should be fabulously qualified in admin experience because 6.5 million is a piddling nothing in California, where L.A. County alone has 8 million people, just the county.
Criticizing Cruz for reading Dr. Seuss in the senate while maintaining that politician A is the better choice because he has wielded government over more people than politician B is ... just sad.
It was a side discussion between carry and I about administrative experience. I think we cleared it up. Carry thought I was talking about Pence when I wasn’t.
Pence is a proven conservative with an admirable administrative record. Cruz is a proven conservative with an admirable rhetorical capability. Hence, this isn't about a governorship alone being qualification, which you knew. But your example was meant to cloud that distinction. That makes it dishonest.

For which you offer no supporting argument. The point is simple: Don't give your enemies weapons without deriving an advantage. Cruz did just that. It was stupid.
poll index bump
Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez, and even the senators Ted Cruz, and Rand Paul look like Good promises for the future to me.
I don’t know anything about Mike Pence, and Marco Rubio can’t compete with his Governor in the race.
