As a Wisconsin resident I’m a big fan of Scott Walker. My sense is that he is a political animal when compared to a man like Cruz.
As in he’s more canny and skilled or as in he’s more likely to act on political expediency?
Not being a wise guy here. Just wondering what, as a local, your reading of him is.
I kinda sick of "political animals". To me, they're people who have to stick a wet finger in the air before making a decision.
Cruz is a very intelligent guy. In some ways, he's too intelligent to be a pol. By that, I mean that hyper-smart pols will occasionally go out on a limb - do the political equivalent of climbing Everest just because it's there - in their political statements just to see if their debating skills can take them back from the brink. In contrast, a pol of normal intelligence is always careful, never speaks off the cuff and thereby avoids unforced errors. Here's to hoping that Cruz can discipline his impulses and bend his intelligence to his will - all the way to the White House.
If you are such a big Walker fan why don’t you want to keep him here in WI where is is very much still needed? It’s not like Cruz can’t handle the job. He’s no Hillary. Are you prepared for a democrat governor because I think that is what is going to happen after Kleefisch finishes out Walker’s term.
Let’s put our thinking caps on.
