Not officially stating that he is “running”, like Hitlary Clinton, he keeps the donor opportunities in the hands of the PAC group supporting him which means, more cash available when the day he does declare.
So why did Cruz announce so soon? Is Cruz stupid? Or is he serious and honest, rejecting the games of speculation, "will he run or won't he? I'm gonna hold off on supporting candidate A because I'm still waiting to see if Walker is going to run, so nobody gets my money until I know who's going to be in it."
Or is Walker wishy-washy, circumspect, and still trying to craft "acceptable" answers to questions Cruz has already addressed, like an unequivocal statement on gay marriage, common core, environmentalism, etc?
Cruz isn't perfect, but he's sure close enough. Why on EARTH jeopardize that in the thought "gee, we might be able to find something better!! We need MORE to choose from, we've only got 15 declared right now" (compared to the Democrats' sane SEVEN declared).
The ONLY thing Walker could accomplish now is to increase the nutty dog-and-pony primary circus the Republicans are once again indulging in, and to harm Cruz's chances. Cruz entered early and straight-forwardly. Clearly he means business.
What does Walker mean? Political games? That Walker hasn't declared, that Walker is still shilly-shallying on formulating answers to questions Cruz has already addressed -- speaks ill of Walker in terms of President. I hope he stays where he is; he will do better work there, and save himself for 2024.
With the exception of Ted and Dr. Carson, the Republican candidates are clowns.
Ted is the only candidate guaranteed to beat Hillary (and in a LANDSLIDE at that). The other candidates cannot beat Hillary, and Walker can’t beat Hillary even in his own state!
Conservatives would have to be crazy to support anyone other than Cruz.
