Well, if you want to get technical . . . ;)

No, we won’t.
We CANNOT have a repeat of 2012, where we hopped from one bandwagon to another, a divided mess. This happened in 2008 as well, and the net result is we have had CRAPPY candidates.
This process has to happen fast. The declared candidates so far are Ben Carson and Dennis Michael Lynch, and in the next couple of months, expect to hear the announcements of the major nominees. They won’t want to wait to fundraise.
Rick Perry has just parroted this line from Walker, and I take it as a green light that he is running. With his blowout victory, Kasich is likely to run, as is Krispy. Jeb, I don’t know about yet.
Paul is definitely running. Cruz seems like he is running.
Right there you have 8 candidates and that is not including likely runs by other governors as well.

I think Walker emerges head and shoulders above many other governor candidates, but as many have expressed, he may just be too bland. How different from Paul Ryan is he? I thought his victory speech was a little plodding. He is going to need to fire up people to vote for him, not expressly rely on how awful his opponents are.

Deport AND Self-Deport...and the other stuff, too.
You can do both/all at the same time.
Sheesh, it’s not rocket science....

It would help if they actually finished out a single term.

Walker is solidly pro-life. Some pro-life measures passed in Wisconsin were attacks from the left.
Im sure Walker will fall in line with enforcement first; we can define the next step in 5 years after Republicans in governance can prove they can do anything about the border.

Mitt Romney probably would have been halfway through his second term in office if he had been governor of a state like Ohio or Michigan instead of Massachusetts.
All politics aside ...
Someone who knows the Washington political scene very well once described Mitt Romney as "the most capable executive ever to run for the White House."
