And lost as much as he's won.

When you consider that 1 side wins and 1 loses, the Cruzer has been as effective as a monkey with a crayon.

Cruz has accomplished exactly nothing in his entire career, except promote himself.

Typical establishment loser.

Now, the Cruzer acts as if he was just watchin this stuff happen in congress, steada bein the person that coulda made a change.

Except he did nothing of any effect.

DT has had successes and failures. But he was *and is* the man in the arena.

And he has actually made a difference, all by himself.

No "congress" to blame, no O'Buckwheat, who the Cruzer *never* stopped, on any issue.

Vote for somebody who's actually accomplished something in life, or vote for the Cruzer.



Served as Solicitor General of Texas from 2003 to 2008, making him the first Hispanic Solicitor General in Texas, the youngest Solicitor General in the entire country and the longest tenure in Texas history
Partner at the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, where he led the firm’s U.S. Supreme Court and national appellate litigation practice
Authored over 80 SCOTUS briefs and presented over 40 oral arguments before The Court
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz assembled a coalition of 31 states in defense of the principle that the 2nd Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms. And won.
Presented oral arguments before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
Defended the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds. And won.
Defended the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. And won.
Defended the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States

As a junior Senator and spending his first two years as a member of the minority party, Cruz helped stop a ton of of the Obama agenda.



There is no denying Cruz's accomplishments. He's a brilliant lawyer. But being a great lawyer does not make you a great businessman; nor does it make you a great CEO,administrator,nor an effective leader.

The two tasks are different disciplines,which is why great CEO's and businessmen hire great lawyers to advise them,and frequently make "business decisions" contrary to that same advise.

By this I'm not suggesting that Cruz would not be a great president;and a great leader. But he is not a businessman in the sense that Trump is. Arguing a case before the Supreme Court does not equal building a real estate empire.They are mutually exclusive endeavors.

Calvin is right. Doing what Trump has done in a volatile real estate market is no small accomplishment, (I don't care how much his father left him)and subject to peaks and valleys, economic ups and downs,failures and successes. No one gets it right 100% of the time.

Only people who have no experience and appreciation for the risks in the private sector would suggest that Trump is a failure.Go to a bank sometime and try to borrow $50-$100 mill for a development.You won't get past the branch manager.Which is why reading some of the stuff on here about Trump's failed enterprises, is so amusing.

All those who have done it raise their hands and weigh in.


He's not a failure, but he is the most liberal candidate. If these guys want that...fine, but they have to own that realty.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
