Most millennials don’t know who Joe Biden is. But you think they’re aware of Scott Walker? +
At this point, that is not a bad thing. Cruz will be tagged as the one who "shut the government down and wanted to default on our debt." He will be forced to play defense way too much. We can see through this; but it will enrapture the lofo.
Walker, otoh, being an unknown, does not have to waste time with all that. I do hope he can sharpen his position on the illegals. (Has anyone proposed a cutoff of privileges and benefits issued to illegals? Driver license, for instance...The fedgov has ways to compel the states by withholding $$. Of course, that would immediately go to our corrupt judiciary.)
Bottom line, we are in a very, very deep hole. We did not get there in 6 years and getting out will not be quick and easy.
If the election were today and Cruz and Walker were both on the ballot, I cannot say who I would vote for. What I hope to see is a fuller vision from Walker and Cruz showing wider appeal than what he does now. His time may yet be down the road a bit. Broadening his appeal is why I am tending to want Ted to stay in the Senate. With the current majority, he can get things done and then bring a record of accomplishment to the table.
