We can certainly hope that the country has learned that lesson and that Republican rookie Senators get eliminated early in the 2016 primaries, so that we can concentrate on people who have had some serious experience running things and taking responsibility for the consequences rather than people whose only accomplishments have been in rhetoric and posturing.
Loosely paraphrasing Sowell here:
I hope Ted Cruz gets knocked out of this thing early.
All they're going to do is (1) float wedge issues from the bully pulpit, and criticize the GOP for its feckless response to these proposals, (2) obstruct anything constructive, and (3) help our enemies in any way they can.
Nice early endorsement for Walker.
Not Sowell’s best.
Governor Scott Walker would be a strong choice...
Have I told you lately how much I love this man?
Love My Gov, too!

Shoot RINO ~ Don't Vote RINO!
We know Sowell, one of smartest and most valuable citizens of this land, is not impressed with Cruz. This is some of his explanation why: he thinks Cruz can only talk the talk and doesn’t know how to articulate effectively as well as demonstrate what needs to be done. He has no evidence Cruz can run things. He sees Cruz in a vacuum, not applying his principles to get the best out of the opposite party. I finally understand his disinterest in Cruz.
Ted Cruz, prove him wrong.
Dr. Sowell hit bingo with his description of the flabby cast of RINOs running. And I can’t quibble with his choice of Walker. I could get behind him.
The country does not need glib or bombastic talkers. But it does need people with clarity of thought and clarity of words, along with a clear sense of purpose and an ability to achieve those purposes.
So is Sowell tossing his hat into the ring?
When it comes to “clarity of thought and clarity of words”, Sowell is the best.
the only weakness I see with Walker is that he is from a smaller state. I think a Walker/Perry ticket might be formidable. What we need at this point is clear thinking, straight talking and the brass to do what is necessary. Get Cruz to lead the senate and Gowdy to lead the house.
