And those who aren’t gushing about Walker are ****ing Rubio from the Koch ‘interview’.
Ted got 2X the applause Walker did. Pretty much everybody at Iowa last weekend knows Walker.
I get the impression Ted would take Scott as VP, but not the other way around, which tells me Walker is more serious about himself than turning around the wreck zero has morphed the USA into. And he behaves with the confidence of someone who’s got the Chamber of Commerce in his back pocket.

That would be a shame for Ted Cruz to turn down President Walker’s request for him to be Vice President. That is one area that Cruz could gain some executive experience which he does not have at this time. With Walker leading, Cruz could learn a lot. But alas we will end up with Jeb.

Rush put Rubio on a pedestal and it screwed him when the audience found out his real views.

There are non-ideological strategic considerations involved as well.
Cruz would do well to pick Walker as VP because Walker brings executive experience to the table and a respectable (altho by no means certain) shot at carrying Wisconsin.
Walker, on the other hand, doesn't need help to carry Texas. So Cruz would bring two major things: potential increase in Hispanic votes and shoring up of Movement Conservatives who may be put off by some of Walker's GOPe leanings (which are decidedly fewer than either McCain or Romney).
So Walker could conceivably pick Rubio, which would give a good fighting chance at Florida and picking up Hispanic votes. Downside being that Rubio wouldn't benefit and would probably hurt with Movement Conservatives. But, as we've seen in many elections Movement Conservatives still usually end up coming over to the GOP when it comes time to vote.

If you're right, what that tells me is that Ted puts himself above the good of the country, which, BTW, is consistent with a number of Cruz's supporters right here on FR.
