Historically, governors rose to president but senators now have an edge
I don’t recall Jimmy Carter, Dubya, Bill Clinton, FDR and Wilson being great presidents, yet they were all former governors.
Oh, I definitely prefer senators with zero proven leadership skills. Oh, we’ve already done that, and look what it got us!
No. I actually prefer someone who shows they can lead a state. Even more important, I want someone who can point to conservative successes while governing.
That’s a big problem for the Republican Party. The GOPe favorites all claim to be conservative, but none of them can point to a single way they made government smaller. The moderates always keeping moving left—never holding the line or pushing to the right. Wouldn’t a true moderate try to accomplish at least some things for the right, right?
I think after the Obama experience, voters are going to be loathe to elect another Senator as POTUS for a LOOOOOONG time.
IMO this may be the one thing that stops the Fake Indian.
