It’s worth your time to read if you seek to understand this year’s Republican primary. As well it should be considered a template for future candidates for national office and a pink slip to the remoras who have proven subpar in recent Republican presidential contests.

...ain’t payback a *itch???
No one will convince me that Scott Walker was ever in this for the long haul. He is establishment all the way, along with his Wisconsin buddies, Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan. And the establishment was all in for Jebbie.
Same with me, he’s got the GOPe scared to death as well as illegals going bonkers.
