(I may be wrong, but I believe Cruz has even said the only person he admires more is his own father.) However, at least as far as I'm aware, Reagan wasn't the brightest guy. Yet, according to Cruz (among many others), Reagan was a great president. <br /><br />At the same time, Bill Clinton is known for being very intelligent. Likewise some say the same about Obama. Yet I wouldn't say they were great presidents at all.<br /><br />Perhaps Clinton and Obama are too recent to be objective about. If so, then let's look at Woodrow Wilson. Wilson was said to be a man of high intelligence. I believe the only president with a PhD. Yet he had at best a mixed presidency. <br /><br />Likewise, I personally don't agree with a lot of what FDR did as a president, but apparently many rate him as a great president. Yet, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes once said FDR had "a second-class intellect but a first-class temperament." <br /><br />Anyway, I respect people with a high intelligence, but I wouldn't say there's necessarily any correlation between intelligence and being a great president. At the very least, I wouldn't say intelligence is the best criterion for selecting a president.rockingwithhawkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550503108269371174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-64110643161065466692015-12-17T22:27:13.232-05:002015-12-17T22:27:13.232-05:00I don't remember where I heard him say this bu...I don't remember where I heard him say this but he describes his memory process as he sees his brain containing audio "files."

One can witness this by youtubing committee meetings where Cruz cross-examines his opponent citing verbatim his opponents words from years ago. <br /><br />Alan E.
