If Cruz doesn’t get most of his support Cruz can be written off now.
But he hardly had any support: under 1% in CNN poll.

What a fiasco of a campaign.

Playing nice and being too cautious doesn’t cut it. The left are cut throat. President Bush squeaked by with being Mr. Nice Guy, but the world has grown condiderably more ugly since he was in office...and it was very ugly back then.

Maybe Cruz and Rubio.

And NOW maybe Jindal will get a spot on the “A” team in future debates.

George Will will be so sad that his wife is unemployed he might write a scathing article about Trump.....oh, wait.

Trump Hits Critic George Will for Failing to Disclose Wife’s Affiliation to Walker Campaign

GOP hopeful Donald Trump slammed conservative columnist George Will on Twitter Wednesday for failing to reveal that his wife works for rival Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s campaign.

“Shouldn’t George Will have to give a disclaimer every time he is on Fox that his wife works for Scott Walker?” tweeted Trump on Wednesday.

Mari Maseng Will is an advisor to Walker’s campaign, according to the Washington Examiner. Will disclosed his wife’s work in a June 3 Washington Post column but didn’t describe her role. The Examiner goes on to note all of the times Will praised Walker as a “pure Reaganite” and the GOP’s “most potent” candidate. He’s certainly not wrong: Walker resonates powerfully with the base and stormed a July 20 Iowa poll.

Will, however, has heaped withering scorn on Trump for years. In 2012, he attacked Mitt Romney for appearing with Trump after the real estate billionaire endorsed him, saying Trump was a “bloviating ignoramus.”

“The important question is who is going to get his supporters??”

What supporters? He was polling at 0.5%.

I’m concerned about who will pick up his supporters. Does he have any left?

I hate to see a conservative drop out before more of the RINOs.

Thank you for your service, Gov. Walker.
