My question is how do we get the Walker bandwagoners to jump off their bandwagon?

What if Walker is a blocker for Bush and is running for the VP spot?

Splitting the conservative vote is how they nominate designated losers. I don’t want to to watch it happen again when we have a gem like Cruz.

Exactly. Cruz is in a class by himself.

Its Cruz. Followed by the second tier of people I’d consider for VP.

Followed by random people from the phone book who I’d consider before anyone GOPe puts up.

Followed by “not no but heck no”.

The proof is we have no pictures, no record of Walker and Cruz ever appearing together, speaking, referencing each other, nothin.

Agreed.

I’d like for people here to keep Rand Paul in mind.

Not for the nomination, not at all.

But for the political value he can provide to Cruz as this race moves forward.

Paul can bring disenchanted democrat voters over to Cruz.

I think it would be a bad idea if Cruz and Paul began attacking each other.

They won’t. Ted and Ron have a long friendship.

I suppose that can be good and bad.

Ron can be easily painted as one of those “Wacko Birds” by the MSM. Right or wrong, but if the MSM can successfully associate Cruz with him, then that may be all it takes.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Cruz fan.

Their reminds me when I was in Chess club "Yea, That Club" and I never lost one game
since I had joined. (6th Grade). The instructor couldn't beat me and he didn't like
that at all. Always said I got lucky. Then one day I missed a meeting and he placed
be at the very bottom of the ranking.

Cruz started at the bottom because they didn't and don't like him, and never will, (MSM/GOPe).
Welcome to the club.

This may become a moot point, as Ted continues his ascent.

Right now, my guess is that Ted will end up with 3/2 of Walker's support, making it a tight race between him and Bush.

The other concern is the fact that Hilary lacks a primary opponent. There will be a lot of Democrap crossovers.

The X-factor may be the enormous groundswell of support from the silent majority. Ted will bring out the base in unprecedented numbers.

Walker is playing to win, IMO. He is simply not as an articulate a spokesman for the Constitution as Cruz is. And his spine is not as steely. Bob
