Thank you for the post. So many people forget or choose to ignore what Citizens United was really all about.

Nice little whiney article about us in fly over country.
Walker will do fine without advice from some elitist puke.

My group has hashed out the numbers too. It’s not a good yr for Cruz/Walker due to FLORIDA. I hope NH and SC can come together and get rid of Bush because if it comes to Florida Bush will be the nom. All the talk of Cruz, all the votes and all the money will go down the drain.

Well, did you factor in the gigantic March 1st Super Tuesday? Texas and numerous other “Cruz friendly” States have their Primary then.

Bush has to be knocked out early, then the others can have a level field. No matter who one is for. Bush campaign is aware of this and will play it wisely.

Yes, but Florida is a winner take all state. We cannot afford to let Bush take Florida...but that wont be easy.

Walker will probably pick Cruz to do something in his administration. Not sure yet what but President Walker will most likely have him in one of the major jobs.

“Well, at least my corn subsidy will be safe with this guy.””

Perhaps you are right but with all the other slashes he will do to the federal budget, the corn subsidies will not be an issue for our budget. Good Lord. Governor Walker is the ONLY person to cut his budget and hard.

Some FReepers are in the Fantasy Leagues when it comes to politics. These guys are all in it for a reason. There are likely two to three factions in the GOPe looking at guys like Rubio, Bush and Walker. Rubio hurts Bush. Rubio is more conservative than Bush.

Guys like Graham, Huckabee, et al are in there to serve one of the two to three factions in the GOPe. Once things shake out it will be a money game all the way.
