But for the last number of elections the GOPe has foisted “electable” candidates who could “win” blue or purple northern states.

This obviously has not worked. We need a 2016 nominee who instead will galvanize conservatives throughout the country (including “blue” states).

So I say no to GOPe candidates (Walker. Kasich, Bush, Christie) and YES to the authentic conservative who would be certain to win - Ted Cruz!

I completely disagree that Walker should be lumped in with Bush and Christie.

But one thing I am -not- going to do is to engage in a flame war with other freepers about this, I believe we can disagree in good conscience.

No R candidate is going to meet the demands of all FReepers.
Reagan would have been shredded daily if FR existed in the 80s.

That’s one reason that conservatives lose a lot of elections.
Liberals will coalesce around 80% agreement, conservatives shred each other over the last 5%.

Are you suggesting “Mavawick” McCain and his “Gang of Eight” fell under the 80%?

Bull-Sh*t!

Scott Walker is NOT soft on immigration.

Our unemployment rate is down lower than it has been at any time since Obama was elected. Keep in mind that Scott has been opposed by the unions and out of control (and out of state) Democrats in the legislature since he took office. He’s stood for election 3 times in 4 years. Recovery has been slower that he would have liked, but it has been steady.

"What Makes Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott Walker a Good Choice for 2016"?

His wife likes dairy, bratwurst, and kringle...so my final answer is, "A whole new take on school lunch programs."

What do I win?
