Belling is the only true conservative worth listening to out of the whole listed bunch.

Ignore him... He is as biased as one can get.

All last year he said he “sent serious money to Cruz.”

As far as Wisconsin goes, it will very likely go to Cruz...Why? This is what I posted on another thread:

Uh Walker will endorse Cruz because CRUZ SOLICITED CAMPAIGN MONEY DONATIONS FOR WALKER TO PAY OFF WALKER’S CAMPAIGN DEBT...No big surprise there...It is a quid pro quo...more Status Quo from GOPe.

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/ted-cruz-solicits-donations-to-pay-off-scott-walkers-campaign-debt-b99633949z1-361819941.html

Besides, Walker is Governor of Wisco...The GOPe apparatus is strongest in Wisconsin with Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan located there.

...He will of course endorse Cruz. End of story...actually no story here. He is Just trying to be a media whore.


Wisconsin loves GOPe, they will go with who Preibus, Ryan and Walker want, and that will not be Trump.

If conservative radio ruled the day then we would never have another Presidency, House or Senate (state or Federal) controlled by a Democrat.

Syke's article is ironic. It actually highlights how Republicans in power aren't controlling the narrative and pushing the conservative agenda.

Walker has done the obligatory Republican things: Concealed-carry, cut taxes, reduced some bureaucracies and regulations, etc.

But what did Walker do when SCOTUS overruled WI's constitutional amendment upholding marriage? He folded like a suit from Goodwill. He could have pulled a Yeltsin and stood up to the Feds, but didn't.

Look what Deal just did in GA. Folded over religious liberty. Look what Snyder did in MI, folded and took the blame for the Flint water crisis. Kasich in OH over expanding Obamacare. Haley in SC over the Confederate flag. The IL Governor folding over the budget deficit.

That's what Sykes is missing. He is missing the full-throated leadership that Trump is bringing to the plate and the supporters who are following him in droves. Sykes is judging Trump in the pretext and prism of general, check-list establishment Republicanism. These Republicans hold the Governorships, the legislatures, and the state Supremes; yet they are not doing jack crap with their power. There's still no pushback on the leftist agenda. None of these Governors are telling Michelle Obama to pound sand on her school lunch program, or on OSHA or the EPA regulations, for example.

Hey dyno,
Not sure if you realize this, but you are using a puke liberal group's ad. The alleged criminal actions were cited in 2 unlawful John Doe probes led by the liberal Milwaukee DA. Both probes have been struck down repeatedly as unconstitutional invasions of privacy and the first amendment by both state and federal courts.

The major intent of both multiple year investigations was to create and charge Gov. Scott Walker with crimes. The secondary intent was to silence independent conservative groups from participating in the public arena.

Are you Trumpers now trying to silence conservatives in Wisconsin, too?

So why is Walker polling in the mid 30’s right now?

Because Wisconsin voters are a special kind of stupid.

Sort of like Trump's quoting a puke liberal group when attacking Walker's budget with lies.

I guess it runs in the family.

Nice try. Except that Trump is on record saying that he would not challenge the latest rulings on religious liberty or the pro-LGBT agenda. You can't fault Wisconsin talk show hosts or even Speaker Ryan on those issues and say you are following Trump's leadership when the Donald is even further to the left.

In fact, Trump is pro- gay marriage and pro- Planned Parenthood and more anti- gun rights. I will agree that Trump is more full-throated, but leadership -- not so much.

Gee, what a witty retort. You read my points of discussion and formulated such a thoughtful and meaningful counter argument.

No wonder that us NECA boys walk all over you at contract talks.

I live in Phoenix and the local AM talk radio station is KFYI and it has been 24x7 anti trump for nearly 5 months. The morning host Mike Broomhead has gone over the edge anti-Trump. Broomhead is a big fans of Sen. McLame so he is totally establishment. If Trump wins KFYI is going to be forced to let him go because his head will pop like a rotten pumpkin getting ripped apart by an M-80 firecracker.
