Purely a race between Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. I admit several folks are four-star VP material (Carson, Fiorina, Ehrlich, and Perry). Huck should have stuck with Fox News, and Jindal simply won’t sell across a national stage....same story with Rubio.
And the Bushes - their massive political network and money Machine - aren’t going to take this lying down.

“......While the kerfuffle over Mr. Giuliani’s words has overshadowed the dinner, it’s actually quite extraordinary that a relatively obscure governor from Wisconsin, best known for almost being recalled, could pack a room with the luminaries he entertained last night. Furthermore, Gov. Walker had three additional New York City events scheduled for today, again posting impressive signs of inroads being made in a city that makes up for in contributors and media wattage whatever it may lack in Republican electors.
The Observer and others have covered the eye-popping wads of cash Jeb Bush has been hauling out of the city and the way it’s dented next-door neighbor Chris Christie’s ability to maneuver. But the fact that Mr. Walker, who had not been on many Republican radars until recently, can swoop in and pack four events in two days will definitely register......”
Just how the GOPe wants it; a race between their two, prime pro-amnesty properties.
At least we know he’s severely for comprehensive immigration reform (scamnesty).
Now Walker just needs to come out and say he’s compassionately conservative in favor of Islam as a religion of peace and Communist Core for the children.
Has all the potential (or lack thereof) of Bush 43.
The Koch brothers are part of this and they back Walker.

And, I assume, said absolutely nothing on the spending cuts needed to offset them?
Carson and Fiorina are Veep material? Really?
Walker’s success will depend on how well he listens and learns from Forbes and Laffer. The GOP base would really like someone we can enthusiastically get behind and support, not another lesser of two evils because money bought a candidate.
You must have read a different article. Which article did you read?
What’s he done in his home state. We need to stop eating our own.
You don’t want Christie or Rand Paul as VP.
Carson puts the national media into an awkward position....how to condemn the guy without saying he’s black. Fiorina does the same thing with women.
Start doing some homework....Walker has changed his stance on amnesty.
You need to read up too....Walker has changed his stance on amnesty.
At every debate with a Dem opponent or big media member (same thing) Walker will have in the time leading up to next year’s election, he should try to have a very large picture of Harry Truman in the background.
No I don't. But I also don't think that people like Carson or Fiorina are the only alternative.
Carson puts the national media into an awkward position....how to condemn the guy without saying he’s black. Fiorina does the same thing with women.
Nonsense.
Bit of a difference. So let's hear his proposals for shrinking government.
“Walker has changed his stance on amnesty.”
*****
He’s backed by the Koch brothers who are pro-amnesty. There’s no chance in Hades that he’s changed his stance...just the spin to get elected.
