No offense, but Ted Cruz winning the Heller case before the Supreme Court makes Scott’s signing bills approved by Wisconsin legislature small change.

Just another nasty Cruz supporter rears his head.

“Walker did the right thing to sign this bill. No complaints from me on this one.”

Yes, he did the right thing, and that is good. But consider how low our standards have fallen. Scott Walker does what any honorable Governor should do: honor his committments in the face of insane, dishonorable, illogical, emotional and unreasonable demands by the left and old media, who are essentially the same.

For this, he gets accolades. Anyone who folds to the left, should be immediately disqualified from the primaries.

As Sarah Palin noted, we must stop allowing the left, in the form of the old media, pick our candidates. It is how conservatives have been losing for 70 years.

Reagan was not picked by the old media. Initially, he was allowed to run, because they thought he would be easy to beat.

Since Reagan’s time the left has started the strategy of destroying any conservative leader before they can attain higher office. They went into overdrive on Palin; she was off their screen before McCain picked her.

They have tried to go after Walker, but he has beat them at every turn.

Great points and let’s face it courage has been missing from many of our so called conservatives lately.

This, and Walker has a real record to prove that he cut big government spending. With less big government spending, gun control advocates will have less time and money to push for gun control.

That’s why Walker is in front.

I don’t think so. Cruz’s support for massive H1B immigrants mitigates a lot of the good in other areas. It’s why Walker is #2 and Cruz is #7 in the average of polls:

Real Clear Politics average:

RCP Average 5/19 - 6/18

Bush 12.7

Walker 11.7

Rubio 10.7

Carson 9.7

Huckabee 8.7

Paul 8.0

Cruz 6.5

Christie 4.5

Perry 3.5

Trump 3.2

Fiorina 1.8

Santorum 1.8

Kasich 1.7

Graham 1.3

Jindal 0.8

Spread Bush +1.0

“If we had pulled back on this, I think it would have given people the erroneous opinion that what we signed into law today had anything to do with what happened in Charleston,” Walker said at the ceremony, held at the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office.......

The comment might have been unnecessary but by no means could it be considered “nasty.”

I am a supporter of Ted Cruz but I like Walker as well. As many have said, there are no perfect candidates but I applaud those who take a principled stand and follow through like Walker did today.

Good for him. I’ll be happy if he’s the nominee.

I don’t see any firearms in that photo. Need a few semi-auto rifles and handguns for background color.

Cruz is good in front of the court.

Walker is good in front of the people.

.. He’s definitely smart enough and has looked good in speeches and interviews, but it remains to be seen how good a debater he is. ..So at this point, I would say if Walker can show he can at least hold his own and hopefully be strong in the debates, the nomination is probably his to lose.
