so far Walker is playing the media like a Strad

Agree. I can't think of any way he could have handled the latest media BS any better than he did. A pleasure to watch.

I like Walker as well but for some reason I get a "Rick Lazio" vibe from him, which if you'll remember is the guy who ran against Hitlery in the NY Senate race and basically allowed Hitlery to trounce all over him in debates and as a result in the end, we got hands down the worst Senator in NY state history. I grew up and lived in New York city till 2013. She was a freakin' nightmare as Senator. All she did was go on an eternal booktour and blow through money like water so I don't even have to guess the same nightmare will befall the Presidency. People think Obama is bad? They ain't seen nothing yet if this psychopath takes office.

Yup. He's playing tunes with their exploding heads. Each hat-size puts out a slightly different frequency as it explodes and Walker is conducting a symphony of liberal outrage.

It's beautiful. He should really sell tickets.

LOL, I have to find my old post where I was commenting on polling orgs leaving out Walker intentionally because he was the one they feared most. The were not even listing him as an option.

What I don’t get is why Ted Cruz isn’t in the top two or three.

I'm on Cruz control and he is the only about to be candidate that I've donated to at this time.

Walker is increasing in support because he is getting a ton of negative press, and the conservatives are rallying behind him.

Don't panic, it's very early in the cycle; when the debates begin in the summer, our guy will shine.

That was a long, long, long time ago.

Hillary is past her shelf life.

She might run, but I doubt she will win.

“Walker has taken the worst the left and the unions can dish out, and won. In that respect, he is already battle tested.”..

He won because the people of Wisconsin supported him, would the entire country do likewise? There’s a huge bunch of liberals backed by the media out there that will do what ever they can to derail Walker. Coming from Wisconsin, I will support him but I’m only one of 330,000,000 people here. There are one hell of a lot of potential voters in that pile.

Cruz is very formidable.

Support American jobs, Cruz. That is the only thing I object to.

American jobs. But he’s perhaps the strongest candidate.

But he needs to be more for Americans working. A lot more. Our party, and the democrats as well, have supported hollowing out American manufacturing now for an entire generation.

It is time to be for American manufacturing once again.

Cruz, support American jobs. I’m all for Cruz, and I will enthusiastically support his candidacy. But he seriously needs to support American jobs first.

Before everything else. American jobs.

Like my brother says, she has more skeletons in her closet than Jeffrey Dahmer on a binge LOL! and anyone who runs against her and doesn’t absolutely obliterate her by bringing up those skeletons shouldn’t be President in the first place because it means he’s a wuss. I mean just on Benghazi alone is enough to destroy her campaign and I’m concerned the RINO party is going to pick some wuss RINO like another Romney who will kiss her butt and only talk about jobs like Romney. That was Romneys whole campaign “Jobs jobs jobs” or how he likes to say it “jabs jabs jabs jabs” Who freakin’ cares about “jabs” you’re running against a commie Islamo terror loving punk, how about you bring THAT up? And he didn’t so as a result we got the worst President in US history incredibly doing a 2nd term.

I’ll bet Carl Rove and the establishment rinos heads are exploding too. They will be working as hard as the left to destroy him in order to bring in their boy Jeb and shove him down our throats.

Plenty of folks here willing to help the Left destroy him - then they will howl about how the GOPe forced Bush on them and use it to justify giving the Left another 8 years in the WH.

Walker/Carson = Amnesty/2nd Amendment “zones”

No thanks

If Walker wasnt soft on immigration, I would be ok.....but I could never support someone like Carson who doesn’t understand the 2nd Amendment and thinks our rights should be dictated by zip codes. He clearly doesn’t know what he is doing.....and he is in the pro-amnesty camp as well.

She would be my, OH HELL YES candidate.
I only uses the ones in the poll.
I kinda think she will not be in the mix for President, but she will run for the Senate.

“I like Cruz a lot and if he is the nominee, I’ll support him completely. But at this point he hasn’t shown me that he can win any states that Romney didn’t. Our kind of conservatism is a minority taste these days. “

If you think Romney lost because he didn’t tack far enough to the left, Bush is the candidate for you.

Romney lost because he communicated no vision and conservatives stayed home. When the base doesnt rally, no one rallies.

We need to nominate someone who inspires the base, not someone who is so squishy that they stand for nothing.

It seems to me that Walker’s last sentence in every response to the media ‘gotcha’ questions needs to be: “That’s Walker, W-A-L-K-E-R”.

I agree. With Cruz, we don’t need any premature adulation. Lay low, and then strike when it’s time.

Ben Carson is second at 18 percent———

Polls are polls and subject to many biases. But Carson in
2nd at 18% I believe is a polling anomaly.

JMO.
