Spot on. We need governors in 2016. No more Senators.

I’m with you on that but Ted Cruz might just be an exception. But in general we need to nominate strong conservatives with executive experience and governors are the best source of candidates with that resume.

Slightly off-topic: how about Trey Gowdy for Attorney General? That would be a hoot.

My feeling about Cruz is that he makes an awesome Senator. There is a big difference between being an excellent legislator and an excellent executive. Totally different skill sets with some overlap, but running things is different than passing laws. So I’m happy to see him stay in the Senate as a firebrand for a long, long time.

Turn Trey Gowdy loose on the Executive Branch and you’d see a mass of prosecutions and convictions. Sadly, no potential POTUS can have that. I’d do it, but I’d be shocked that any President would want to let him run through and clean house. Every Gowdy video I can find, I watch. He is like a terrible sharp sword.
