He needs to get out in front of that, but I’m not sure what they are going to characterize him as. Palin was “Stupid Bible Thumping Hick.” It worked.

That won’t be the line of attack.

Cruz has serious Ivy League credentials, and the Democrat would probably suffer badly in the comparison.

I favor nominating a successful governor such as Walker of Wisconsin, for the simple reason that senators aren’t executives, and governors are.

As a campaigner and a strong debater, Cruz would be great as a VP candidate - and he would be a fine potential SCOTUS nominee after a win.

If you nominate a senator and the Dems nominate a governor, you could find yourself in trouble - the last (only) senator to win against a governor was Warren G. Harding, in the wave election of 1920.
