Are you kidding me? Were supposed to pity him because trying to be the leader of the free world is hard?! Ive got two words for you, Ted: Boo hoo.
Know whose health is limited? Workers with no paid leave who can't stay at home when they fall ill or have to care for sick kids. Know whose sleep is limited? Working parents who do everything they can to save money but stay up at night worrying about how do get their kids through college without getting crushed by debt. Know who gets no personal time? People who work two minimum wage jobs to support their families. Know who gets no family time? Moms with unfair schedules who drop their kids off at daycare and drive halfway across town only to find their work hours have been cancelled.
And Ted Cruz? He opposes mandatory paid family and medical leave and calls it "free stuff." He voted against student loan refinancing. He's says the minimum wage is "bad policy" and he's done nothing to try and help workers struggling with unfair work schedules.
And know whos facing constant attacks, Ted? Hardworking American immigrants, Muslims, LGBT folks, women. They're facing the GOP's constant attacks. They're facing YOUR constant attacks.
Working people are working more and getting paid less. They can't save. Some face mistreatment and discrimination. They can't take time off work for illnesses or to spend time with family. But they don't whine. They don't throw tantrums or try to shut down their workplace because they don't get their way -- and then turn around and demand promotions.
Senator Cruz -- you chose to run for President. Working people don't get a choice. Maybe you should spend less time complaining about your "significant sacrifices" -- and more time trying to do something about theirs.

I'm just glad she's in office somewhere!

(7,963 posts)...atleast for now, anyways. In a few years, I bet she will run. I have now doubt that if she runs, she will win. Overwhelmingly so. She is well loved.

Maybe we should work on inter-species marriage, because, Rafael, your wife married a jackass!

(6,819 posts)the WH. If you think the campaign is stressful and time-consuming, you ain't seen nothing yet. Senator Warren is a gem. Speaking for working Americans is something she does extremely well.

(17,204 posts)Is Mr Cruz fully cognizant of the difficulties of being President? Because I'd think campaigning stresses are nothing compared to them. Or perhaps he intends to imminentize the Eschaton on his first day in office, so he won't have to worry about how hard the job is.

(60,336 posts)If he ever made it to the office, he would probably break bush's record for vacation days.
Yet not want anyone else to take vacation.
maddiemom
(5,106 posts)He'd be clinging to the desk in the Oval Office by his fingernails. Once he got in there, it would be hard to ever get him out. Vacation? What does anyone imagine he'd do for a vacation?

(523 posts)Stress, long days, arguments, constant tension, no personal or family time, disrupted sleep time .... that's the life of the President of the United States for four long years (eight if he's glutton for punishment).
Ted, if you can't take it for ten months, throw in the towel right now.

(34,195 posts)Years ago, Vice President Humphrey said to a demonstrator at one of his speeches:
"I have two words for you, and it's not Happy Motoring."
At the time 'Happy Motoring' was a slogan for Exxon/Esso gasoline.
I suspect Humphrey's two words could have been replaced with one finger.
