There's a trade-off. We need to get the best conservative who can actually win.
Boehener needs to go, and be replaced with somebody more conservative. If would have been nice if we had gotten a viable primary candidate to beat him. I would even have preferred if the conservatives in his district had voted for the Dem. One less House seat, but get rid of Boehener. But it didn't happen.
If we can't win an internal Republican-party struggle against a RINO, what makes you think we would win in the general election against both the Repubs AND the Dems?
In order for a true Conservative to win this thing, we need ONE candidate. If there are more than one, we both know that the gope will win again.
People for the last year have been doing nothing but calling or Cruz to run, and not just on this site, but on all conservative sites. There are links on all sites to his speeches, his and palins. Now, all of a sudden, after one speech in Iowa, Walker is up in a poll over 50%? Yeah, right. This Drudge poll has the stink of gope all over it.
We cannot continue to be this gullible.
Bottom line, many are telling you they will not vote for Walker, and all have reason to doubt his Conservatism. I for one don’t like how when asked about defunding o-care in 2013, he sided with the establishment. So, if you insist on persuing this avenue, go ahead. But realize you will not be able to count on the support from a whole lot of people. I don’t see how ticking off the base is a way to win, but if you think you can bring in other voters to replace them, well, good luck.
