your argument that it will destroy conservatism fails the smell test. it could happen, heck Bush almost did it all by himself, but that does NOT mean I will risk four more years of theO. that I KNOW will destroy my country.
And how does it fail? My argument breaks down to the following:
1. A good president has at least some experience in either an executive position or a substantial role in drafting their own legislation.
2. Bachmann while doing a great job in Congress, has no executive experience and has authored no major bills
4. Whenever the media or the Left gets a chance to blame conservatism they will and a lot of the American people follow them (look at the 06 and 08 elections).
5. If an incompetent truly conservative president held power conservatism would be heavily and wrongfully blamed for it.
Bachmann’s lack of sufficient experience would therefore lead to the improper blaming of conservatism for any inadequate leadership on her part.
