“Flip that ticket and it’s a winner.”
Nope. Go with Walker at the top. Reason being, we saw what a Senator can do as President. Obama is a fustercluck to say the least. Especially at a time when we need leadership.
Governors provide that leadership, so for this reason, we put a governor at the top of the ticket and use that as our basis for taking back the White House in 2016. Let’s say Democrats put up Hillary. Ok, what leadership experience does she have?
That’s the key for 2016. Cruz as VP gives the GOP a strong Senate President. It also gives Cruz 8 years to further establish himself for 2024, when he will be 55? Plus it will also give Cruz the donor base that he won’t have in 2016.
It’s a winning ticket which could give us the White House for the next 16 years. It will bring out the base in huge numbers and with our already holding the House and Senate, not only will we hold our senate seats, but there would be the possibility to take even more.
Cruz must be at the top. The top of the ticket needs to be the communicator of conservative ideals to the American people. Walker has amnesty and life issues that he has to clean up and even though he’s shown he can win, Ted Cruz is the current face of American conservatism.
While governance is important, of course, recent events in national elections show that such experience is not vital to getting elected. 2016 is going to be an election about ideas. They need to be articulated in a clear, concise and unafraid fashion. Nobody, and I mean nobody, on the political scene does that better than Ted Cruz.
He needs to lead the ticket. Full stop.
