So might as well pick a candidate that will rally the base and rally voters who have stopped voting for RINOs.

The base alone doesn't elect anyone. Neither does playing to the middle. The problem is the GOP seems to play to the middle in the general and the base in the primaries. There has to be a middle ground between those two points.

Cruz at the top of the ticket will give us President Hillary. And to be honest, I have reservations about another President with basically zero executive experience.

As if Obama's problems are because he is inexperienced.

So you probably would be more comfortable with say a Jimmy Carter?

How about a Bill Clinton??

Maybe a Franklin Roosevelt???

My point being there have been many truly AWFUL Governors and well as some good ones. There have also been around 16 Presidents who did not have Executive Experience, some of those Presidents were not only decent, some were good.

The need for "Executive Experience" is highly overrated.

For example, let's take Scott Walker.

Many of his fans point to his "Executive Experience" and his "getting things done" as making him a better choice than Ted Cruz, even though the conservative fidelity of Scott Walker is much less than Ted Cruz.

Walker has had a GOP Controlled Legislature. It is THE ONLY REASON he has gotten anything done. If he did not have a GOP Controlled Legislature, he would have gotten nothing done that would have been commendable from a conservative perspective.

The GOP controlled legislature is the ones who deserve commendation because they did all the heavy lifting of getting the bills to Walker's Desk. All Walker had to do was sign the bills and yet his supporters ignore all of this.

Why?

Obama's problem is a lack of executive experience, huh?
