Of course, I would discard the ones who were in office 200 years ago as times were a little different.

Of course you would, nevermind that the problems that they faced at that time with a new country and with all of the super-powers of that time were at least as dangerous and complicated as what any president of the current time-frame has to face, you have to throw those out because it thoroughly discredits your lack-luster attempt to discredit Cruz in favor of Walker.

But he has spent significant time in the state over the past two years. So has his father, Pastor Rafael Cruz, who draws crowds that could rival any other candidate’s.

Throw Sarah and Ted in with him on stage, and you have 20K minimum turnout crowds wherever they go. The other candidates will never be able to afford the astroturf their rallies would need, even with free cheese and beer!

You miss the point. I am not trying to discredit Cruz. He is a great Conservative voice. I just don’t think he is ready to be President. We need someone who has been through the Democrat fires. Walker has been there. We need to rally behind him or we will get Bush.
