I think this is a good thing - Jeb and Mitt will split the less conservative voter and give Walker a chance to capture the rest in the primaries.

Now if only we can get Christie and Huckster in there.

“Romney and his senior aides believe he is the best placed candidate to defeat Hillary Clinton”

Or did they mean that “seniors with AIDS” think that?

He could run for dog catcher or God, I’m still not going to vote for him in any election.
