Ted Cruz Research Paper

Ted Cruz has strong views on abortion. Americans tend to be more ambivalent. House of Representatives on Friday passed two abortion-related bills (Sept 2015) — one aimed at cutting federal funds to Planned Parenthood, the other at punishing doctors who fail to provide medical care to infants that survive abortion attempts.(Danielle Kurtzzleben)

Ted Cruz resonates with the average American more so that any current candidate running for the Presidency.

Well, "The long-running “birther” controversy–a rather bizarre conspiracy theory which holds that President Obama was not born in the United States–refuses to go away, kept alive by business celebrity Donald Trump and other assorted critics," (UCF Today, David Houghton). Every four years, when the current president's term ends, new candidates to lead our nation arise. All of them are seemingly perfect, so how do you take down the competition? You make rumors about them. Ted Cruz is the most recent of these attacks, but all points of evidence show that he is innocent. The online news outlet "The Atlantic", says that Ted Cruz's mother was a citizen of the United States, therefore he was granted United States citizenship and did not go through naturalization. With these ideals intact, we won't lose very valid candidates to in our elections to misinterpreted laws in our

Perry is very qualified for the job of being president of the United States. He was the longest serving governor in the state of Texas. Perry has created 2.2 million jobs in Texas while serving as governor. He also has cut taxes seventy- five times. Since being elected in 2000, Perry created almost one-third of all new private sector jobs in the United States. Perry has also tightened up the southern border in Texas to prevent the entrance of illegal immigrants. He created a

Rick Perry was born on March 4, 1950 in Paint Creek, Texas. As a boy he was active in boy scouts and eventually earned the highest rank of Eagle Scout. In 1968 he graduated from Paint Creek High School in 1968 and entered Texas A&M University. In 1972 he graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelors Degree in Animal Science. While in college he joined Corps of Cadets and earned commission in the Air-Force. He left the Air-Force in 1977 and to enter the cotton farming business with his dad.

The biggest difference between the two men is that Trump is the most thin-skinned person in human history, and reacts to the smallest slight with the hair-trigger wounded ego of a male flight attendant, whereas Ted Cruz is immune to insults because he’s learned to live in a world where everyone—everywhere—has always hated him.

Cruz response was personal, making it quite clear that he possible wouldn’t support Trump. "I'm not in the habit of supporting someone who attacks my wife and my family," Cruz said. "I'm not an easy person to tick off, but when you go after my wife, when you go after my daughters, that does it."

Senator Cruz’s followers think that he is a traditional conservative that is against government overreach. He maintains this stance on ethanol claiming that he is pro ethanol but against the government mandates that come with them. Some people buy this excuse and others do not. I personally find his ideas and policies hard to align with, but that's probably because I am not conservative, but a lot of voters are buying into his ideas making him number two in current

In order for Cruz to be successful, his success had to start in the classroom. Without making the grades he wouldn’t have the ability to play football which would eventually end up turning into his career. Unlike Herjavec, it took Cruz’s father to pass away in order to motivate him to be successful in his studies and his career. Once he realized he had to be the head of the family, he knew he had to buckle down and do what was necessary to provide for his mom. On the other hand, Herjavec has always had an entrepreneur business man side to him.

The majority of people that are against Cruz, do not hate him, they just believe that he is too inexperienced for example Mascaro stated, “that Cruz simply needs more time and experience”. There are some instances where Cruz did not do his research or fact check information, but rather he would spit ball answers. For example, when asked about The Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide, Cruz stated that it “isn't what the American people wanted”, but in fact most polls say around 60 percent favor same-sex marriage (Mancuso). Once Cruz read a Dr. Seuss book (Green Eggs and Ham), but completely misinterpreted the point of the story. "Green Eggs and Ham has some applicability, as curious as it may sound, to the Obamacare debate," adding that Americans "did not like green eggs and ham, and they did not like Obamacare either." Cruz without realizing that the moral of the whole story is that in the end he actually enjoyed Green Eggs and Ham. Another time Cruz suggested that “net neutrality would…restrict technological expansion and innovation, and used the iPhone as an example of technology that wouldn’t have been discovered if it had been regulated by the Federal Communications Commission” (Cesca). Again, Cruz did not fact-check his claim, because the federal government regulates the iPhone and the evidence is a FCC logo located on the back. Leaving

As July quickly approaches and the Republican Party continues to self-destruct, largely due the 24 hour snake oil sales pitch of Donald Trump, a very small part of me almost feels sorry for the most delusional man to ever hit the campaign trail- Ted Cruz. After last week's humiliating 5 state loss, most rational human beings would decide that it's time to throw in the towel and call it a day, however, Ted Cruz has never been accused of being rational, or even human for that matter.

Currently, polls show that in a Clinton vs. Cruz election, Hillary would win by almost 10 percentage points. A poll from Politico shows that less than 10% of Republicans think Cruz would be able to carry their state against Hillary. Despite Hillary’s recent troubles, including the scandal involving her emails, it appears she has not been too affected by them. Her favorability ratings have dropped a bit, but she still has a strong advantage over candidates like Cruz. Cruz’s biggest challenge in a general election would be convincing voters he is not as extreme as he is. There has been quite a bit of progression in America recently, with the legalization of gay marriage and the growing movement to decriminalize marijuana. Those are things that a majority of Americans are okay with, and Ted Cruz is not. Therefore, he will meet a lot of resistance if he campaigns against those things, and will likely push a lot of potential voters away. The Republican Party needs a moderate candidate, and Ted Cruz at this point in time is not a moderate

No matter what you thought about Ted Cruz, if you were objective and honest with yourself it was hard not feel a very strong sense of admiration for Ted Cruz, after his impassioned plea to voters to "vote your conscious" despite the viscous booing of the gradual enraged crowd. Cruz, always known to be a principled man, doubled down on principle and chose conscience over politics, he seemed to of chose the honest, straight path rather then try and set himself up for a nice position in a future trump administration.

Apart from being concerned about a potential president having either that level of ignorance, or alternatively, such a profound ability to put personal interests and benefits over those of the people, we are also discouraged to see Ted Cruz attempt to take serious, and seriously damaging, action based on his peculiar beliefs. This senator is responsible for introducing a piece of legislation that is arguably the single greatest threat to the environment, the health of

Leadership traits have been studied to determine what makes certain people great leaders. There is no right way to be a great leader, there are many ways to be a good leader however, studies have shown that all good leaders have similar characteristics. Good leaders are able to recognize problems and opportunities, they can develop a vison and an implementation plan to carry out their vison. They understand that teamwork and the right people are vital in obtaining their end goal. All of the above are specific traits that tie good leaders together. An interesting subject to look at when examining leadership styles is Donald Trump. Trump has always been known for his leadership style throughout the business industry. He has excelled through
