A Texas-based conservative activist has a prediction for who will be left standing among the crowded field of Republicans seeking the White House.

"Everything I'm seeing is a Cruz-Walker race at this point," observes Cathie Adams, a longtime Republican activist and currently the president of Texas Eagle Forum.

It's still early in the presidential election and the crowd of declared GOP candidates is already lengthy.

There are also the undeclared, including Gov. Scott Walker and Jeb Bush.

Adams says Republican Party "kingmakers" are behind Bush, and Cruz and Walker are the conservatives most likely to defeat him in the primary....

Ted Cruz will have the dollars needed to stay in the race.

Living in CA it’s usually over by the time I vote. This time I could see it being a three way race with Cruz, Walker, and either Bush or possibly Rubio if Jeb does poorly enough to drop out. CA could actually matter for a change.

Frankly I’d be good with either Cruz or Walker.

I agree with you and the author.

I hope they have a meaningful threshold for limiting debate participation.

Can’t have 10 folks on stage.

The politically astute move would be for Walker to negotiate with Cruz for the VP slot, and then do a joint announcement with Cruz. Lock up the base early and build some serious momentum. Cruz/Walker 2016, leads to President Walker in 2024.

Looks like Walker may have already scared Bush away from Iowa.

If Lindsay can peel off the establishment vote in South Carolina...

that leaves New Hampshire as the place Jeb has to break through

“that leaves New Hampshire as the place Jeb has to break through”

Too bad NH is not Bush country.

If a R candidates do it right, it will be the first time. Most were wusses that couldn’t take the heat and IMO got soft and turned tail.

These two will not! If they do, it will be the last straw.

President Cruz with VP Scott Walker (maybe)

Walker is too much an amnesty guy IMO

As long as the GOP ticket doesn’t have the names Bush, Rubio, or Paul it’s all good.

Great chance for Walker to show a lot of class and hand his endorsement to Cruz. Hopefully he does that.

I give more credence to a poll carried out by a reputable organization instead of some individual person pontificating their opinions. Here are current 5 front runners:

FOX News Poll 5/9 - 5/12

13 Bush
13 Carson
11 Walker
10 Huckabee
9 Rubio


Candidates not gaining popularity and fading:

7 Paul
6 Cruz
6 Christie


Others such as Santorum, Fiorina, Jindal, Trump, etc
barely registered in this poll.

Show us the poll questions. I can make a pol say whatever I want it to say, depending on what questions are asked.

I’d go for a Cruz/Walker or Walker/Cruz ticket.

I will bet my bottom dollar, Fox News questions were MORE fair and balanced than anything asked by CNN, PPP, NBC, ABC, Marist, Quinnipiac etc. The only other poll I trust for fairness is Rasmussen.
