He is conservative enough, he clearly has a backbone, he is photogenic, he does not make mistakes on the stump, he governs as he campaigns. More, he has not been nationally tainted as a radical right-winger as has, unfortunately, Ted Cruz. Walker stands in better odor with independents and has the advantage of running as a governor rather than as a senator and his record is one in which both conservatives and Rinos can find satisfaction.
If I were able to anoint, however, I would dab Ted Cruz's forehead with oil.
