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?
What Walker did with the public unions (and the continuing fight that ensued) blew me away.
But yeah, I don’t support any moderates. Not one. McCain is their poster boy.
