Ted Cruz has never governed, unlike Scott Walker. Maybe assembling a cabinet doesn’t sound awe inspiring, but having the right people counseling you is important. President Jimmy Carter was a micro-manager and a failure.

This is like going to Costco looking for something important, having the great fortune to find pretty much exactly what you want immediately -- one of those things where you know looking for a better deal is going to be a waste of time. So you get it and save yourself a whole day of stress at minimum shopping around for a better deal, or max risk of losing the opportunity to get it because it's one of few in stock and that's how it goes at Costco -- deals have small windows of opportunity.

Spending the day looking for a better deal when the likelihood of one existing is pretty much nil, would be a stupid way to shop.

Cruz is the right guy, exactly right in conservatism -- not perfect, but exactly right for the times. Many have thought so for awhile. It is mind-boggling that some conservatives are willing to risk this singular opportunity, in the guise of finding something as good or better. To pursue this waste of time by waiting to see who else joins the dog-and-poly show that now numbers FIFTEEN officially declared Republicans, not including TEN more who are in the exploratory phase (among them Walker, Jeb, Christie, Jindhal, and our very own Donald Trump). We could end up with 25 Republican candidates. We've got 15 now! It's schizophrenic -- TWENTY FIVE including declared and officially exploratory.

This versus a sane scenario of SEVEN declared Democrats, with three "exploratory," for a max expected field of TEN.

The best guy, Ted Cruz, declared early, yet Republicans are still playing "deep field" selection games in badly arranged primaries, the "deep field" ranging from functional Democrats to limited government Constitutional Christian conservatives like Cruz.

Name ONE candidate on the Democrat roster that is a functional Republican, let alone a functional limited government conservative. Yet our hapless party offers a whole rainbow of its political opposite.

The whole thing is as crazy and pranged as a train wreck. It's kinda obvious, yet here we are careering on a hope and a scream toward a perfect world where the Republican party nominates Cruz, yet so many are ready to risk losing it all looking for a better deal and blowing the opportunity all to hell. That the GOP would nominate an actual limited government conservative is a short chance in the first place; the only way to foil primaries stacked against it, is to unite NOW behind the guy, and he's declared. And folks are still thinking, "Nah, now, there's probably somebody better over there ..."

Walker has walked among democrats.. and knows them quite well.. maybe TOO well...

He does have some cred’s.. I agree.. maybe VeeP...
