Cruz is at the top of my list also. He gets it. He knows what needs to be done and why.
My only concern is does he know how. Vision is great but the devil is in the detail of how to accomplish the vision.
Pairing him with Walker or some other governor who has shown he knows how to get from point "A" to point "B" will be critical.
Cruz/Walker would be a good team. I don’t expect them to spend much energy attacking each other, because I expect they may be partners for the next 8 years.
