Cruz gives a good speech, but Walker has actually delivered a conservative agenda in a Blue State.
Cruz has stood up to fight the GOP Establishment, Walker hasn’t.
That should tell us who the real conservative is in the room.
True. OTOH, Obama has almost nothing but speeches yet he has been transformative. At the top level maybe you really do want an articulate ideologue to sell the big ideas. Jay Nordlinger made an interesting point yesterday that you rarely hear liberals emphasize executive experience the way conservatives do. What they want is transformation and what they value most in a president is the “vision thing”. Given the times, maybe conservatives should have similar priorities. Think about what you like most about Ronald Reagan. He was a governor and a good executive but that’s not what made Reagan a great president. It was the fact that he was an effective visionary. To me that’s what Cruz potentially has over Walker, at least from what I’ve seen so far.
Bingo!
I love Ted, but don't think it's quite his time yet. Plus, senators should not be presidents.
Bingo!!!
If you call open borders and amnesty a conservative agenda, he did.
Walker/Cruz?
