Sorry Naps, but no, his leadership skills and his fidelity to conservative policy positions, which far outshine all other possible POTUS candidates scream for President of the US.

Just as we should not accept that Walker's current position on immigration is genuine without more to support it, neither should we just accept that Cruz would be a good leader without seeing some actual cases in which he has demonstrated leadership and been able to bring along some of the doubters and persuadables to his point of view.

While I agree with you about his fidelity to conservative positions, his leadership skills still have yet to be demonstrated. To be a leader, you have to get people to follow you, and I haven't seen him demonstrate that in a consistent way in the Senate. That is not to say he could not do so in the future.

You've narrowed down your premise to fit your conclusion.

Either you have not been paying attention, or you chose to purposefully and artificially limit your proposed result set.

He was single-handedly able to lead the house while being a sitting senator.

He was, and is, one of the primary leaders of the Tea-Party effort, and many conservatives will tell you he is their leader.

Now, if Scott Walker did not have a Republican Legislature, he would not have any of the accomplishments he has so far. ALL of his success is dependent on having a Legislature that will provide him bills that he can sign.
