Historically, governors rose to president but senators now have an edge


They wish.

Politics in America has become a game of deception, smoke and mirrors to bilk the “stupid” voters out of as much income as is possible.

Interestingly, I love Ted Cruz, but would be concerned with him as president because he has not held the executive position. I’d much prefer Scott Walker.

But Cruz is a good second choice.

On a side note, my Christmas family get together was at Wisconsin Dells. They really like Walker up there.

Governors are executives. They have to delegate, negotiate and initiate. They also enforce.

My support leans to Republican governors who have shown an ability to win in liberal states.

Ronald Reagan is the prime example...twice in California.

Calvin Coolidge did it in Massachusetts....though Massachusetts may have been a bit more conservative in his day.

Mitt Romney did it in Taxachusetts.

Scott Walker did it twice in Wisconsin.

Pure propaganda. The Democrats have only senators to run, so now senators “have an edge”.

Most senators bring nothing to the table except their mouth and lobbyists.

Governors bring a wealth of administrative, management and governing experience. By far, they are best prepared for the job.
