As smart as Cruz is, I would rather see a Governor on the top of the ticket in 2016 and 2020 and Cruz as VP.
No on your VP idea.
I would prefer, Walker as President. Then when the inevitable vacancy occurs on the Supreme Court, appoint Cruz.
Justice Cruz or better yet Chief Justice Cruz for the next 40+ years is much better than a President Cruz for the next 8.
I've got an agenda, and intend to see Cruz as the last man standing when the primaries are over.
I'm not interested in the media or GOP-E picking the candidate this time.

To me the most important components are having the right Vision and the right positions on the issues. There is very little similarity between how the office of the Presidency and a Governorship are executed. Those who have done both have mentioned that fact.
I like where Cruz wants to lead the country because he is listening to Conservative Grassroots people like you and I. :)
I thought Rush Limbaugh did a good job of refuting the senator/governor meme. He correctly observed that Obama, who never governed, has been pretty successful at destroying the country. Rush asked if anyone really thought Obama would be a better president if he had governed a state.
Of course the answer is no. The ideology of the man is the important factor. Look at what Obama has managed to push through---and he isn't even that bright. Cruz, on the other hand, is a brilliant man, and solidly conservative. He would be able to accomplish much more, and in the right direction.
To date, 16 presidents have been senators; 17 have been governors. Those who governed include Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton...which tells us that previous governorship means very little.
Like Huckabee?
Cruz is not my first choice either but it’s nothing personal. I think he would make a fine president. At this moment I just have a preference for another candidate. That said, if he’s the nominee I will vote for him without reservations. The thought of Shrillary, Uncle Joe, Fauxahontas, Marty O’Malley, and any other lefty becoming the next president is too gruesome a thought. Besides a President Cruz won’t put up with the likes of a John Boehner as House speaker and Mitch McConnell as the Senate majority leader. He’ll have them booted out of leadership which is only a good thing. Admittedly, my preferred candidate(s) may not have the guts to give Bonehead and McSellout their walking papers but Ted would.

Yeah right! The only Governor who has ascended to the Office of President, in the last 40 years, that was a great President was Ronald Wilson Reagan. The rest weren’t worth a bucket of warm piss.

Like Gov. Brown ?
