“They cannot be deluded enough to think they have any chance at all.”
I think some of them may just be trying to get their message out there and get it part of the platform. That’s fine as long as they don’t bash the people that really have a chance.
Cruz is number one in my book, and Walker.
One thing about Cruz’s experience. He has a LOT of experience, and much of it I would imagine under “executive”. (State AG, lead on 30+ state petition to the SCOTUS, etc.)
But - how much executive experience did Reagan have before being Governor of California? That’s a huge job too and he did fine. I think the vision and values is more important. One can hire people to carry that vision out.
Reagan was the president of the screen actor guild!
I got a call yesterday from a friend I haven’t seen, or heard from, in over 20 years. This guy has always been a staunch, dyed-in-the-wool Conservative, and still is. We got on the subject of politics and I told him that Ted Cruz was “my guy”. He’s a Texan, like me, and I would have bet he was for Ted also. Not! There was a long pause and then he said: “I can’t go for him, I’m a serious Birther.” What made it a little bizarre was, he believes that Obama WAS born in Hawaii. Oh well....... What can I say?
