"My first choice is walker, due to tangible background and experience."

I'm so tired of this whole "executive experience" argument. Are we supposed to believe that Carter was better than Lincoln because he was a Governor? (Honestly, I'm not really a Lincoln fan but that's irrelevant). 320-something million people in this country and only 50 are capable of being president because they're governors??

I've already said that I'm all-in for Cruz, even if I have to write in his name. That doesn't mean I don't like Walker, but something about this whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

Why, after a single speech in Iowa, does Walker suddenly demolish Cruz in poll after poll, even among conservatives? Cruz's speech was arguable better, but at least as good. We already know that the establishment will do just about ANYTHING to block conservatives like Cruz, but I have yet to hear them attack Walker (of course it's possible that I missed it).

Walker's tough on unions -- I support that stance 100%, but Christie is too, and he'll NEVER get my vote. Walker tiptoes around the immigration issue, and says he's against deportation. The law is the law. Is he going to enforce it (through deportation) or not? Walker either used up his fight during his recall election, or he's just not that principled.

Walker seems like a conservative to me, but I haven't seen any fight in him since his recall. Cruz is not afraid to put his position out there, and he can articulate it well because I honestly believe he means it. He will go toe-to-toe with any of them and will not hide from the issues.

Walker's views just don't seem to be very well-defined on many issues. While things like abortion and the 2nd amendment are VERY important to me, there are many other important issues that the next president will be more likely to deal with. I want a SOLID conservative, and I know I get that with Cruz. We don't have time for anything else. For now, Walker can stay in my second place spot thought.

We don’t have time for anything else.

No, we don’t. The Marxist Left just burnt our house down, and is still shelling it. Take them down FIRST while re-building.

You don’t let arsonists remain on the loose. Cruz is hated and feared because they know he has them in his crosshairs, something you can’t say for ANY other American politician who is running for POTUS.

Once we’ve rebuilt America to pre-2008 levels, we can entertain lightweights like Walker again.

I’m so tired of this whole “executive experience” argument.

Me too. But that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about his holding his own against recount votes, etc. as well as his actual accomplishments. He took on enemies of conservatives and won. And he beat back their attacks after he won.

I’m not talking about “generic” experience. I’m talking about accomplishments.
