Absolutely agree - you can be 110% conservative or any other ideology that got you elected, but if you don’t have the experience and temperament of a chief executive that knows how to hold everyone under you accountable, then your administration basically gets run through some mish-mosh of bureaucrats that you were there before you and the most power-grabbing underlings that you appointed.
So it’s a probably good bet that there would be more of a conservative agenda actually implemented by an 80% conservative president who knows how to push through his agenda at all levels of his administration (and likewise through Congress), then one may be a 110% conservative, but has little or no idea how this is done.
Everyone says that and just assumes that being a governor gives you all that experience - and that not being one means you don't have it. True sometimes, but not always. Moreover, the country does not need an "executive" now - we need an inspirational leader. Not saying Walker can't be that, but he is from Wisconsin, which means there is an inner liberal in there somewhere. But let's be real - Walker is saying this in a self serving manner to put himself above Cruz and Paul - figuring he'll beat Krispy and Jeb.
Walker would be a great, battle-tested candidate for President.
