And, Americans agree. Before Obama, the last member of congress to be president was JFK.

I predict Walker and Krispy tear into each other’s records. Its going to be brutal. Hopefully Cruz slips through

Walker is pro-amnesty but calls it “pathway to citizenship”.

NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. NO.

Amnesty, by whatever name, is the death nail to America.

Absolutely agree - you can be 110% conservative or any other ideology that got you elected, but if you don’t have the experience and temperament of a chief executive that knows how to hold everyone under you accountable, then your administration basically gets run through some mish-mosh of bureaucrats that you were there before you and the most power-grabbing underlings that you appointed.

So it’s a probably good bet that there would be more of a conservative agenda actually implemented by an 80% conservative president who knows how to push through his agenda at all levels of his administration (and likewise through Congress), then one may be a 110% conservative, but has little or no idea how this is done.

Ooooh so that's Obama's problem. He was a congressman.

LOL, no.

Obama's problem isn't that he was a Senator. Obama's problem is that he is a communist, anti American tyrant.

My response to Scott Walker is that Originalists make better presidents.

Plain. And. Simple.

Like TR, FDR, Carter, Clinton?

Being a governor may be a point in one’s favor, but there are many other factors as well.

Didn't Reagan later say that it was a mistake.

To be accurate, Walker said that a pathway to citizenship should start at the back of the line.

Although their are amnesty aspects to even that.
