Walker is right. Governors make better (more effective) presidents.

Says Walker and Perry? Rather self-serving don't you think.

Where is the logical proof of that statement?

The following Men who were President might disagree with you. Furthermore, the absolutely horrible Presidents of Franklin Roosevelt, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, etc. also does not argue well for your opinion.

1. George Washington
2. John Adams
3. James Madison
4. John Quincy Adams
5. Andrew Jackson
6. Martin Van Buren
7. Franklin Pierce
8. Zachary Taylor
9. Millard Fillmore
10. James Buchanan
11. Abraham Lincoln
12. Benjamin Harrison
13. Ulysses Grant
14. James A. Garfield
15. Chester A. Arthur
16. Warren G. Harding
17. Dwight D. Eisenhower
18. Richard Nixon
19. Gerald Ford

Times have changed and the Presidency now requires more executive skills than back when communication meant telegraph or letters, and the Executive branch was much smaller.

Our best Presidents have been Governors or military leaders, because those were the places where men obtained public service and executive experience.

Walker is clearly talking about the modern era. Of course up until the 1920s any of these men regardless of their political position would make great presidents.

You are comparing feces to Angus beef.
