Criticizing Walker was about as dumb as the Cruz’s New York values comment
I did not understand the attacks on Walker, he was a good governor for a liberal loony state. Just because Walker supported Cruz, should not have been a reason to attack him.
I think Trump learned from that mistake
I believe the Walker stuff sank him there. It was one of the “on the street” interviews where a couple voters commented about Walker and thought he did a good job in WI
Trump supported Walker very much financially in the past-
Cruz helped pay off his campaign debts
“Meanwhile, political novice Donald Trump presented voters with the missing element in Walker’s otherwise perfect résumé: the entertaining warrior, the unrepentant id. Where Walker would let long-term general-election concerns filter into his thought process when considering a response on immigration, Trump—how should we put this?—would not. He stole from Walker the Iowa lead he’d held for six months, which ended up being just long enough to prop up pundits’ expectations that he needed to win it. His super PACs, which raised impressive sums early on, burned through much of that money in a late-summer effort to arrest his free fall. As they spent more, he got more desperate, and his nearly nonexistent presence at the first two debates did not help his solicitation for further donations.”
Although the source is Slate which I adhor, they were accurate in this rare case.
The long and short is that Trump’s Rise led to Walky’s Demise. And Walky didn’t like that, so he did what any high school level homebody would do, he plotted a vindication.
And the vindication was endorsing a candidate who has no chance.
In other words, Walky is a little man in character, if he is a man at all.
Sure, he survived a vicious recall, but not because of any great profile of courage or achievement, he survived because Wisconsin voters like their effeminate pols to be well ... like Paul Ryan’s baby face, all cute and cuddly, so they rescued Walky from known bastards in the GAB as well as some really dumb loons in the teacher unions. Walky was the damsel in distress, and some Wisconsin voters felt chivalrous.
The recall made Walker hug the establishment and the rescue he received was confused with real support that he bizarrely thought extended beyond Lake Monona. Really now?
So yeah, his endorsement of the Cruz was a bowing down to the Party of Romney as he needed money to retire his campaign debt. Yes, that was it, money. And he was told to endorse the Holy Roller Lawyer if he wanted that money. As soon as endorsed the Luzer, an announcement was immediately made that Luze would hold a fundraiser for him; translation: K-Street writes a check.
Trump saw all of what was happening and he reacted like he does, no bullsh*t.
Trump will win the nomination because his delegate mathematician allowed for ZERO delegates to be won in WI and still easily exceed 1237. And yet the Trump campaign still walked away with a bonus of SIX delegates in WI.
Here’s the backstory:
