I know you are pulling for Cruz but I just don't think he can pull it off. There are just too many who really do not like him. Now Christie/Cruz maybe? If people are having trouble with Rubio being too inexperienced why would Cruz be a better choice?
He may not be able to, but it appears to me he has at least as good a chance as anyone else in the race right now. I wasn't predicting, but I do think that would probably be the best ticket.
There are a lot of inside the beltway establishment types who do not like Cruz, including the media types, that is for sure. But those people seem to be the enemy this year, so Cruz has the opportunity to use that as a lightening rod to attract support for himself.
Christie needs to finish in the top three tomorrow or he is going to have a devil of a time continuing his campaign in any meaningful manner. Of course the same establishment types that I mentioned above would prefer Christie to Cruz, but Republican voters do not appear to be taking guidance from those people this year, which is key.
As far as experience, recognizing that none of these candidates have experience as president of a large and important country, Cruz has a lot of experience, nearly all of which is relevant and helpful.
Cruz has one of the most impressive and elite legal backgrounds of any attorney in the country. In terms of education, Cruz graduated *** Laude from Princeton in Public Policy and Magna *** Laude from Harvard Law.
Unlike Obama, Cruz actually is an expert in constitutional law, who has made numerous successful presentations before the Supreme Court. Unlike Obama, CRuz actually is an expert public speaker, even without a teleprompter. Cruz clerked on the Supreme Court for Justice Rehnquist. He was the Solicitor General of Texas. He served as Associate Deputy Attorney General in the Bush Justice Department. He has also worked as an attorney on private and corporate law cases. Of course he is currently a US Senator from Texas.
So, Cruz has experience in the judicial and legislative branches of the federal government, He also has experience in the executive branch of both the federal and the Texas state government. He has already worked in all three branches of government.
Compare Obama's "experience" coming in to Cruz's is like Bambi vs Godzilla. And Rubio has held some interesting positions. He could be president, but I suspect he would be a better one if he became a bit more seasoned first.
That would have been impossible. He wanted to take the house of a widow, who had lived there 30 years, to build a parking lot for chauffeur driven limos, that cost more than most people earn in 2-3 years, so that they didn't have to park with the ordinary riffraff. Only the intervention of a lawyer provided by an organization committed to justice for the little guy saved her from losing the home she loved. It's like the perfect plot of one of those sappy feel-good movies. In case anyone is confused, Trump would be the villain.
Yes, there is that... he couldn't have simply explained why trying to take the house of an elderly woman wasn't the slimy thing it appeared to be, because it actually was the slimy thing it appeared to be... so, he lashed out at bush, and when the audience expressed its dislike of his comments, lashed out at them.
Anyone who would turn around to another adult and say "quiet" while treating that person like a pre schooler isn't acting like a president or even an adult.
When they are acting like a pre-schooler then it's completely appropriate.
Trump's only human. He can't be 'on' every minute. People need down-time.
But the controlled Big Media, as well as hyenas typing from cubes off the Dulles Access Road, want to demonize that.
He was a juggernaut of epic proportions in the final weeks of the campaign, 3, 4, 5 rallies a day, 7 days a week.
