Polling and graphs at this stage are meaningless..
The candidates will not all be officially on the slate for a few months yet but the stage is beginning to take shape.
Most of us are well familiar with both Cruz, Walker, Paul and Bush-3 right now, but the rest of the sidewalk walkers are only concerned with the super bowl and deflate-gate.
(note I did not mention Huckabee) I don’t consider another run by him to be possible without major funding and I don’t see that happening.
There are a number of other “also ran’s” that I am not even going to mention.
We will have to see how it shapes up, going into the 2016 primary, but I think I have mentioned the top of the slate.
Rush did not endorse Walker or insult Palin and Cruz. Someone or a group of someones, is trying to make it look that way for their own purposes.
The one major theme the Rush has had for decades now is that Conservatism works, everytime it is tried. Rush used Walker as proof of that in a argument he made supporting his age old statement. He could not use Cruz to do that because Cruz has not done what Walker has accomplished. That is all it was.
Lastly, The GOP is indeed afraid of Cruz and Palin. They see them as populist usurpers, or vocal critics of the GOP and dangerous to unity. As is the tea party.
So stated the facts and the current situation. His venom was directed at the GOP.
The GOP is no longer afraid of Cruz. Koch is taking Walker and Rubio to the WH: it became evident last weekend and this week.
Rush may not actually support Walker over Cruz but Walker - as you see on the graph above - is lagging Cruz but that won’t be the case after this week’s lavish treatment.
You saw how Iowa was spun. Even though Ted got twice the applause and excitement, it was spun as a Walker win all week. Every poll and most articles this week mention Cruz in passing, if at all.
What I’m saying is the establishment is lighting the rockets on Walker/Rubio this minute and if we don’t vet Walker enough, he’s going to leave Ted in the dust with his new mega-supporters.
