admire Cruz and believe he’s sincere. He’s just not the right candidate for POTUS. We need a Gov/Gov ticket. Cruz is ideal in the Senate.
No we do not.
We need the candidate who is most fearless in fighting for conservative principles, who will not back down, who is the best communicator of constitutional issues, who is the most intelligent.
That person is not Scott Walker; that person is Ted Cruz and that is proven by the sum total of both men's actions!
Furthermore, it is Ted Cruz's exceptional and proven Leadership capabilities that makes him Ideal for POTUS!
Let the primaries decide, but we need to coalesce around a winning team before Jeb and Romney unite.
On this, you and I can agree!
CRUZ or LOSE!
You’re inventing things here that just aren’t so.
I like Cruz and that’s not a throwaway line. I really do, but his greatest achievement is the Government Shutdown. That was a winner and scared the pants off the Establishment. I suspect that Obama worked hard to make it as miserable for Americans in cahoots with the Establishment because if people realized just how little government they needed the entire game would be up.
That was awesome, but it comes with some serious baggage. He’s elected in a solid red state. Walker was elected in a state that reflects the national electorate.
Walker was elected three times in four years each time with a larger win percentage. He’s a governor which is much better preparation for a POTUS. He’s permanently hobbled the Wisconsin Democrats and their progressive allies. He’s savvy and carefully weighs his actions.
Cruz is not as effective, although he talks a good game and I believe he is sincere. I like the fact that he’s running and I want his and, more particularly, Mike Lee’s (Lee’s the real idea man of the two) ideas for conservative populism to mold the race for GOP nominee.
In the end, if I were Hillary I’d rather run against a Senator without any foreign policy experience. That’s Cruz. The second thing is I’d like to run against a guy who’s easy to vilify, and that’s Cruz, but that’s also any GOP candidate, so not quite so critical.
Of the two Walker has much more relevant experience as Governor of Wisconsin, but even more critically as Milwaukee County Executive. That’s where he captured a lot of Reagan Democrats and changed policy there. That and the loss of the GOP candidate in 2006 made his win as Governor possible.
Walker is the better candidate of the two. Cruz brings nothing to the table as a VP and is best left in the Senate where his techniques are most effective.
