Pence.
Gov. Scott Walker Signs Gun Confiscation Law Under Cloak of Domestic Abuse

Pence is on my short list, along with Cruz, Palin, Santorum, and Jindal. If he is the nominee, I could not only vote for him but gladly campaign for him.
The talk is tough, but the actions???????
I’ve watched politics and politicians with D’s and R’s next to their names for years and have figured it out to this.
They talk big differences, but in reality there are virtually no differences.
Pence is talking as if he doesn’t support Common Core, but the acid test will be if he abandons it or not.
Another acid test is Medicaid expansion under Obamacare.
Pence is playing the game my RINO Governor Tom Corbett (PA) is in his re-election year.
Pence pushes an alternative to create a fight with the Obama Administration to look good politically.
Trying to expand Medicaid on one’s own terms has the smell of the GOPe “Amend Obamcare” agenda.
Why didn’t he just flat out say NO to Medicaid expansion like governors or legislators in the more conservative states have done.
Pence and Walker would make for a formidable ticket. Two accomplished governors with great track records..
Pence and Demint were the only ones I saw out and with the people at the 9-12 rally in DC.
Pence is not RINO on the inside. He voted against the banks bailout, he voted against the prescription drug plan for seniors, he voted against the bailout for Chrysler and GM.....these are just a few things I can come up with off the top of my head.
I don’t think those votes qualify as RINO by a long shot.
Scott Walker recently did something to knock him off my list but my failing memory can’t dig it up. It must have been gun related though.
Uh Obama beat Hillary with no experience.
And look how that turned out. Do we really want another President with zero experience?
Mike Pence is bland but at least that is consistent with what he is, compared to Walker who is over-rated.

“I first want to be clear about one thing: Congressman Pence is a friend of mine, of whom I think so much that I have said, with deference to his committed Protestantism, that the only position for which I would not support him is pope.”
Christie, Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Nikki Haley, Rand Paul and others are worse on immigration.

You mean like Obama? Obama was a one-term Senators for just a few years and not only beat Hillary but got elected President twice.
I beg to differ on Cruz. His only downside I see is whether he has the charisma for the race, but he’s got a lot more than Hillary, and he is much quicker than her on the fly.
Experience means as much in a presidential campaign now as military experience, which is none. It’s about campaign execution and performance.
I would be very happy with Pence or Walker, or a combination. Both guys are solid. I might go with either in the race. I just don’t and won’t discount Cruz.

You guys are going to screw us conservatives again by being stupid. Ok nominate him and see what happens.
He told the Tea Party not to worry about primarying bad Republicans.
I just don’t and won’t discount Cruz.
There is something about Cruz that I don’t like. He seems slimy to me. It is personal. Does that mean I won’t vote for him in the national election....no. I have voted for worse. However, I will NEVER vote for him in the primary.
First, Scott Walker endorsed Marco Rubio’s amnesty plan.
Then he claimed no additional border security measures were needed.
Then he proposed a slightly less destructive alternative to Obamacare.
Then he opposed “austere” spending cuts.
Then he endorsed Paul Ryan’s tax increase and cuts to military retirees.
In the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
That was a safe house district. I think Dick Lugar won in 2006 in a bad year.
Mike Pence is a good guy it seems but he is not going to excite anyone
