” Summary from above : Walker is too conservative to beat Hillary and after he loses to her the GOP will run more moderate candidates so they can win again.”

LMAO!!!!

McCain got us Dr. Evil, and Romney sent him back for round two.

Actually I think Walker would have a very good chance of beating Hillary, and I would take him over Jeb any day.

"I don’t see how Cruz could win the General if he can’t even win a conservative weekend poll with real voters."

With the Priebus rule change on who can participate in the debates (based on poll results), I don't trust these numbers. The guy made a single speech that, while good, wasn't outstanding, and his poll numbers shot through the roof? Why aren't the GOPe attacking him yet if he's so conservative?

Except his amnesty support, Walker looks good on the surface; However, something doesn't feel right about this surge, based on a single speech...

Walker did not surge due to a single speech. It has a lot to do with results and what he has accomplished. Notice that is why Governors are needed for President. I like Cruz but he hasn’t had a thing done....can’t even get the Republicans to pass his stuff. In order to be an effective Presidents like Walker and Reagan, you have to be principled and motivate the Congress to pass your stuff.

From my POV he has a very lot going for him. His incomprehensible explanations thus far on illegals and what he’d do as President are sorely, sorely lacking.

That's not his only problem.

Pm a much smaller scale, so has the Board of Education in my county, Douglas CO. And it’s spreading to other school districts in the state

The GOPe is any Republican who doesn’t believe exactly like I do. They are the enemy. It’s more important to get Hillary elected president than to elect anyone who doesn’t believe exactly like I do.

They might have a point.
Walker might just be too extreme a rightist to win a general election against a centralist like Hillary.

Maybe we should play it safe with someone more mainstream.

They are taking out our best man Christie, but wadda about Jeb?

His wife's Mexican and he speaks Mexican too.
I bet all those immigrants out in front of home Depot would vote for him.,

Nice try, but not quite. Walker can lose on immigration alone, unless he “evolves”, in today’s parlance.

If he does that, he’d make an acceptable substitute in the event Cruz doesn’t make it.
