Ahh, too bad.

It would have been great opportunity to have a referendum on ending Big Labor in the federal government.

Better luck next time, Governor!

You may want to put these tweets in a thread: I can’t find any Liz Mair mention anywhere.

Her last tweet implies that the bad story is no longer coming now that he left the race?

He was always a close 2nd in my book.

Walker I put first cause he won more than once in a swing state.

“There is much to do in Wisconsin, Gov. Welcome home and get those sons of yours back in school!”

Walker has been an exemplary governor, and much remains to be done to return Wisconsin to the people of that state. May he continue to be the servant he's been thus far!You are lucky to have him. would that we had someone of his character here in California (to replace the Brown Turd).

Sorry to see him go. There really isn’t anyone running I am enthusiastic about but I could have supported him.

I’m hearing a lot of anger from Walker’s supporters. They refuse to back anyone weak on illegal immigration, and they’re pissed at Trump’s false narrative about Wisconsin because they feel that was an attack on small government.

And they think the GOP consultants did this to take him out so he’d endorse Fiorina.

They want someone with a strong anti-illegal alien invasion record. Nothing else but that.

This just got real interesting.

“As Dennis Miller said about Admiral Stockdale, “He committed the one unpardonable sin in our culture: he was bad on television.”


We could do worse than Dennis Miller as president for a term. Good Pittsburgh guy. No BS. PC and Liberal hater.

Cruz was basically ignored also. But he took advantage of his time schooling the others in the Constitution.

Don’t think so. Either Trump or Cruz will be the next president. I like Trump but I think he’ll get tired of all the daily attacks on him from the media and he does not need all the BS. He’s almost 70 years ago, got a few billions dollars and has more going on than wanting to put up with the aggravation from asses. But he likes Cruz and he wants to make the country great. No RINO can do. Cruz is the only real conservative running for president.

I bet that most of Walkers support goes to Cruz.
