Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin is refocusing his Republican presidential campaign on Iowa and South Carolina, where his early popularity in opinion polls has crumbled with the ascent of Donald J. Trump, and he has taken the unusual step of canceling major speeches in Michigan and California this coming week to spend time in those two crucial states.

Waffler Walker couldn’t make up his mind if he would side with the citizens and the rule oof law or the illegal aliens and their employers.

The voters found a candidate who would side with them.

“Once a national front-runner, he increasingly looks like a regional candidate — hoping his Midwestern roots will win him Iowa — who is pursuing single-state strategies rather than projecting confidence across the country.”

In other words, Walker’s handlers are now using him to try to grab some delegates from Trump, so as to prevent Trump from getting a majority of delegates going into the Republican Convention next summer - so that Jeb (or maybe Rubio) can be handed the nomination in an open convention.

Something for the 2 or 3 people still supporting Walker here to think about (especially that babe from Ohio).
