As to constitutional conservatism, Ted Cruz is the North Star-- they all gauge their campaigns by him.

Walker is the on-the-job-training and me-too candidate. Not promising points after Obama. How about we stick with the grown ups like Trump and maybe Cruz?

Yup Walker is no Cruz, he’s an RINO open borders turd that threw in with the megyn kelly PC feminist brigade. His wife also supports gay marriage. No deal never voting for him.

RINO Walker means more disgusting
George Will and his wife.

No way. Go away, Walker.

I won't speak as to the "me-too" candidate, but to call him an "on the job training" candidate is simply wrong. Of all of the candidates, he is the only one with executive experience who has taken on left-wing democrat sacred cows and won. I have not problem supporting Walker based on his actual record.

Having said that, I will also support Cruz, and they are on a very short list. But the unfounded character assassination of qualified candidates on this forum needs to stop.

According to CW, Walker was going to be the ‘conservative’ establishment candidate who could bridge the GOP base and the GOP establishment... Yada yada.

Wrong again.

Core beliefs somehow magically change when you run for President it seems.

Me-Too-Walker will NEVER be like Cruz...it’s just not in him.

Walkers faking is starting to remind me of my first wife.

As Cruz terms it, Walker is the consummate “campaign conservative”.

He and Priebus and Ryan are, however, as GOPe as they come—and deceptively so.

I’m with you VinL!
I think it’s because Cruz is following the True Light of the world!

Both Walker and Cruz are smart politicians. It’s not surprising that they’ve both chosen to position themselves to be appealing to Trump supporters should Trump begin to falter, as he likely will.

I’ll say this though. Trump can apparently say anything he wants and his supporters will suck it up and find a way to agree with him. I thought his Planned Parenthood remarks would cut a little deeper into his support than they did, for instance. Conservatives across the states are defunding PP, but Trump says cut the 3% that funds abortions and leave the rest untouched and his supporters dutifully explain why that’s just fine with them.

Scott Walker has peaked - it’s downhill all the way for him.

Respectfully, I don’t know of any position that Sen. Cruz has altered to appeal to voters currently supporting Trump.
