In Early Polling, Walker Stands Apart
National Journal ^ | February 27, 2015 | RONALD BROWNSTEIN

After a well-received January appearance before a high-profile gathering of conservatives there, and several recent scraps with reporters, the new Quinnipiac University Poll put Walker, the Wisconsin governor, at 25 percent among likely participants in next year's Iowa Republican caucus. That total was nearly twice as much as the second-place finisher, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul who drew 13 percent. Former Arkansas Gov. and 2008 caucus winner Mike Huckabee (at 11 percent), fiery surgeon Ben Carson (also 11 percent), and former Florida Gov Jeb Bush (10 percent) were the only other candidates who attracted backing from more than five percent of likely caucus-goers.

If you are unaware that Republican Party leadership was complicit in election fraud and you’re not interested in becoming informed you are part of the reason we keep getting fed the crap sandwiches by the establishment GOP perfumed princes.

Why isn't this in the courts?

It wasn't illegal what they did - it was laughed out of court. However, it was an absolutely perfect example of pissing on the base in favor of the establishment.

The establishment did everything they could [i wish they'd be this tough on the dems] to destroy the conservative in the race.

So you are both saying the same thing.

They enticed democrats to cross over and vote for Cochran and there were indications (number of votes cast) that some of the democrats voted in both parties’ primaries. McDaniel’s counsel filed in court for access to the evidence and it was denied.

The simple fact McConnell vowed to “destroy the TEA Party” should be enough to tell us they will never act in our interests.

Let’s stop giving the establishment dirt bags blank checks.

Precisely my point! Gotta be more active in the primary season - all of us.

With the establishment GOP manipulating primaries it may come to torches and pitchforks.
