Many have a little added. Trump has executive chair, rubio is drinking water, Perry is fixing glasses etc.

That’s also why the media continue to drive me nuts with their 2 second attention span.

They essentially play a game of ‘He called you a name! What do you call him?’...etc etc.

As for the fatuous bipartisanship offer by Walker, Christie et al, the next question should immediately be ‘What Dem policy or legislation do you endorse, and what are the Dems offering that you think are god ideas?’

Obviously there is no adequate or sane answer but the media might try stringing together two thoughts.

He was born in Canada. The author is probably not very well informed though because Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship a while back.

Trump is the only double digit candidate, time to start weeding them down. Anyone under double digits should drop out.

Remember giving to the RNC is giving to prop up RINOS who could be beat by a Conservative if they had the funds. GIVE TO YOUR CANDIDATE. NOT the RNC.

Who they pick as VP is the other high priority. We need a known Terrorist fighter and that means some one like LT COL ALLEN WEST. That percentage of the Military vote that goes dem would flip to GOP with him as a VP. If you can get their votes counted.

Maybe it's that the Republican elite and their consultants latched on to Walker as a pol with good potential whom they could define and control. He needed more time as governor, away from the manipulation, so he could see things through. Was he going to be a gov for the people or a Chamber of Commerce sellout? Left on his own, who knows?

Voters aren't as stupid as the elite assume. Walker had the wrong consultants, giving him advice on issues that he wasn't comfortable with or ready to tackle, and it showed.

Why do they all sell out and let others define them? sigh

Walker has been a huge disappointment in this race. Clearly not presidential timbre.

Walker doesn’t play well on national TV. I kept thinking “Santorum II - Sweaty Edition” during the debate. I have no doubt he, like many second-tier candidates in the past, would be an effective President for conservatism...but he lacks the audio-visual gravitas to overcome the MSM’s relentless propagandizing for the welfare state.

He’s shrinking and I don’t see a comeback....if he decides to run in the future I would advise him to do something with that bald spot!!!!

It’s a reminder he’s not qualified to be President.

Because the same lefty (GOPe same difference) that put that together believes Kenyan born obama has the right to be President while Canadian born Cruz does not. Dig deep enough, bet you’ll find it true.

That flag has no business being there at all.

Another way to look at it, in all fairness, then there should be a commie flag by Bush and a huge US flag background for Trump.

It would be really nice if the GOP field had to drop one candidate every 2 weeks. Whoever is in last place should drop out, just like a Survivor style reality show. Pataki should be gone ASAP. Not even one person in 100 supports him. He’s only sticking around to gather campaign cash for himself. He does a disservice to the Party and the primary race... and yet the GOPe does nothing but focus on taking down their front runners. Stunning.

Whether she is or not really doesn’t matter. Her MO definitely points at that possibility but she denies it. I take her word for it but it does not diminish that she did EXACTLY the same in 2012 for Perry. It was only when he stumbled so badly that she finally backed off. When Walker terminates his floundering campaign, I suspect the same result will ensue.

Occasionally, she will make some very salient postings on issues outside her flag waving and I will say they are welcome.

But, because of her MO, I will continue to tease her that her 2012 Perry is showing.

I only do so because I am still in vetting mode. My first choice is still Cruz although I love what Trump is doing to the political and media establishments. Trump is a product of the New York culture and in such it is a trait that they are very good at slip fighting. Until the dolts in the establishment figure that one out, they will continue down this path to attack him and are shocked when he fires back.

It is also not lost on me the answer that Sarah gave to Tapper when he asked about a hypothetical cabinet position in a Trump administration. She met privately with Trump early in the game as did Cruz. Other than Rinse Prius I know of nobody else who has met with him at his offices. It is also not lost on me that in the skit last night with Fallon, Trumps definition of what he wants for a VP really only fits one person who is also not attacking him.

The GOPe desperately building up Carson to start a Trump slide in the polls just to clear the way for el Jebbe.

Correct you are. Mi madre (thought I'd use a little Heb! lingo) asked me about my take on Ben Carson this week, so I was fairly certain she had conversed with one of her old cronies who can always be counted on to spread the latest GOP-e talking points. I was right.

If you can't fool the little old ladies in Iowa, you ain't trying. The GOP-e is scared enough of Donald Trump to get out of their comfort zone and start trying, and they are using the conveniently-at-hand and essentially likable Dr. Ben Carson.

Perry had enough self-respect and common sense, will Walker?

Bush is the GOPe darling. They push up Carson’s numbers, note none of the GOPe is saying a word about Carson, but they know he can be passed by Bush at the right time through pushing the right buttons in some states at the appropriate time, Also, the GOPe knows they have the insider delegates, almost half of the total already locked in to the GOPe candidate. All of the other GOPe candidates will withdraw at certain times with the establishment believing that the vast majority of their voters will to to Bush or another GOPe candidates. The GOPe and their media allies will note the new support for Bush etc and the fact Trump is flat or not gaining support as quickly. Likewise the will have their surrogates push up Trumps negatives to try and sell the idea he is unelectable.

Like Trump (D-NY)? He’s all over on immigration as well. The MSM, Democrats, unions have a single goal and that’s to drive Walker out. He did them in and is a proven conservative doer.

With him out what other candidate has proven he can break the Democrat Money Machine?
