    This is precisely why I've made the case each of the past several cycles for nominating a governor.https://twitter.com/RedWingGrips/status/1357055647641174017 …

        Gilmore and Bush didn't get very far in '16, although both seemed to have accomplished much in their respective states. Ditto for Pataki.

        It was a tough cycle for the GOVs - Jeb, Christie, Kasich, Walker, Jindal, Perry, Huckabee, Pataki, Gilmore. But several of those were long out of office, & the field was too crowded.

        Governors unfortunately fell out of favor, since all politics is national now. Maybe it'll be different next cycle since COVID put a lot of attention on governors. They're much better suited for the job, since they actually have experience, governing...

        Senators have gotten a ton of attention for better or for worse the last 6 years or so, so they are now more open to attacks on votes and cable news issues. Governors now are more "hidden" in the sense that they don't garner a ton of negative attention except for egregious errors

        I'm with you. I think governors are better candidates for presidents.

        I've always preferred gubernatorial experience in a POTUS. We should get our presidents by sending the governors into conclave, to choose a winner from amongst themselves, while the rest of us wait for the white smoke to pour from the chimney. 🌬️🌬️🌬️

        The Senate is not governing enough in real terms to train up the right kind of pol, it seems.
