I've thought that Scott Walker had a weeerd smell, since he first started making noises about running. Call it intuition, maybe bits and pieces of data gleaned here and there, or the fact that he was a huge Mitt supporter the last go-round.
Dunno, but the guy has never struck me as being one of 'us'.
Cruz, on the other hand, pinged all of my patriot conservative receptors from day one - and still does.
Anyone that backs a liberal isn’t a conservative and thus not one of us by definition. Us being Americans. Walker did so openly and with gusto. Ergo he is scum, just as any other vocal supporter of liberals.
Back before my husband and I really got interested in the campaigns, we were watching Walker being interviewed. I immediately noticed his eyes.
I asked my husband what he thought. My husband is retire federal law enforcement and has conducted countless interrogations. He said he wouldn’t vote for the guy, period.
He and I both believe Cruz is the real deal.
I enjoyed your post.
