Walker is a viable candidate but he’s no superstar. That description is reserved for a once in a generation contender named Cruz.
I like Walker but he’s too full of compromise; ‘TOO’ full of it. He will not do more for the USA as President as did GW Bush who also hailed in as a Governor who was ‘Conservative’.
We don’t need a ‘nuts and bolts’ guy like Walker as Commander in Chief. That position is reserved for a leader who can ‘reignite the miracle that is America’. Walker would be more suited to stay in Wisconsin and finish out conservative reforms in that state and wait for 2024 when he will be only 56 years old.
Or he would make a fine VP.
Ted Cruz on the other hand is a once in a generation, perhaps lifetime superstar who can drive a team downfield to score time and time again and who can inspire the defense to frustrate the enemy to defeat.
After Obama-Pelosi-Reid, Cruz is the Constitutionalist who can do the most for America ***now*** to restore and promote American ideals and values.
Walker on the other hand is prone to fall into the GOP uniparty establishment.
Yes we do...
I sensed that there was a thread linking Kellyanne Conway, then Mike Lee to the points made by Cruz. They were both very persuasive in talking not about "who" should be the candidate, but "what" the candidate should be.
Cruz hit it out of the park talking about, "if you campaigned against amnesty, show me where you stood up and fought against it"; "If you campaigned against Common Core, show me where you stood up and fought against it"; "If you campaigned against tax and debt increases show me where you stood up and fought". Those were pretty good shots at Bush, Walker, and Romney.
Also, the guy that isn't mentioned is Trump. I thought his speech was a "take no prisoners" solid stand for conservative principles and free markets. If he stays in the hunt he is sure to make debating difficult for the moderates.,p.Lastly, Kellyanne Conway showed some real smarts, too. She could be a key player behind the scene.
Walker is acceptable to the GOP Establishment and unacceptable to me.
I'll bite. Tell me how. Tell me what he's compromised on as Governor. Or even as Milwaukee County Exec. Please give us some details.
Excellent comment, especially this:
“Ted Cruz on the other hand is a once in a generation, perhaps lifetime superstar who can drive a team down field to score time and time again and who can inspire the defense to frustrate the enemy to defeat.”
I hope we don’t squander what may well be our last opportunity.
