Just moments ago I said something nice about Walker.

I still like him and I realize a conservative in Wisconsin has to pick his battles, but Cruz is definitely the man.


Scott Walker is a good man, and he is a conservative, it's just that Ted Cruz is much more of a full-spectrum conservative than Walker.

I don't know about you, but I want the best man for the job of POTUS, not 2nd best.

I want someone who fearlessly defends conservatism, like Ted Cruz and shown the world for the last 3 years, not someone who is going to run his support for each conservative issue through a filter of political pragmatism, which Scott Walker seems to be doing as of late.

Walker was elected County Executive twice in leftist Milwaukee County, and has won 3 elections in the last four years.

Meanwhile, Cruz was just elected to the Senate a mere 2 years ago and already he's being treated as the 2nd coming of Christ.

Walker is Napoleon, Cruz is Custer.

“I want someone who fearlessly defends conservatism, like Ted Cruz and shown the world for the last 3 years, not someone who is going to run his support for each conservative issue through a filter of political pragmatism, which Scott Walker seems to be doing as of late. “

You stated exactly what has been bothering me about Walker lately. He doesn’t want to talk about social issues. It’s clear that he wants to run for POTUS and focus entirely on fiscal issues. He is not going to be able to side-step the issues as he has been if he wants to be prez. Immigration, gay marriage, Obamacare are huge issues in 2016 and he is going to have to clearly state his policies. Illegal immigration is certainly a fiscal issue.

Perhaps he is waiting until he actually throws his hat in the ring before he does this but I have a collection of videos of him talking about these issues and he is all over the map. It’s hard for me to tell what he truly believes. With Cruz, it’s right out there and you know his positions.
