    I have said before that I have mixed feelings about a Walker Presidency. I think that, at this point, he is probably the best (and best-qualified) conservative candidate who has declared; but I would not want to lose him as Governor. He has been good for Wisconsin.

    What happens when a politician's record shows him to be a limited government conservative that doesn't believe in nation building experiments who then quickly morphs into a big government nation building fanatic as soon as he's sworn in?

    Yes, I'm talking about George Bush Jr.

    First know use of awesome was 1598.
    Sure this was before 1611, but it probably was not in popular use. Back in those days, Facebook was not as quick in coining new words.

    and from Wiki

    You propose what, then? Any politician can say anything to gain votes. A record, my opinion, is the best indicator of future job performance.

    And Ted Cruz is not awesome. He is a politician.

    I'm not proposing anything.

    I was just asking you a question and giving you an example.
