Scott Walker's Profile Rising as Wis. Primary Nears
Real Clear Politics ^ | 3-27-16 | Rebecca Berg

As the Republican presidential primary shifts its focus to Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker is poised to re-enter the national spotlight, having suggested this week that he will soon offer his endorsement.

Walker said he would weigh in "after Easter, when it would have the maximum impact," and hinted strongly that he favors Sen. Ted Cruz, who "is the only one who's got a chance other than Donald Trump to win the nomination."

"Probably in the next week or so we'll, one, make a decision whether we're going to endorse or not; then, secondly, specifically who we’re going to get behind," Walker told radio host Charlie Sykes.

After a recent gathering in New York where Walker thanked some of his former presidential campaign donors, one attendee left with the impression that Walker intends to endorse early this week.

Such an endorsement would mark the two-term governor's most high-profile moment since he ended his own presidential campaign last year amid low polling and fundraising woes. The fresh attention would not be unwanted: Indeed, he has been slowly but deliberately rebuilding his national brand since that failed spin on the national stage, with a noticeable uptick in networking, speeches and public appearances over the past few months.

In November, Walker was elected vice chairman of the Republican Governors Association, a role for which he has begun to travel more frequently and connect with party donors and officials.

Last month, he snagged a speaking slot at CPAC, the widely watched annual conservative gathering in the Washington, D.C., area. Walker used the platform to strike a contrast between the country's GOP governors, such as himself, and the presidential campaign.

I haven’t seen any polls for Governor Walker since he suspended his campaign. That was six months ago (9/15).

Approval of how Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is handling his job stands at 39 percent, with 55 percent disapproving. In January, 38 percent approved and 57 percent disapproved.

This as of February 2016

War came to Chicago and Cruz joined the Enemy.

Walker must be able to see what that means, he had to face the same radical Leftist groups.

Walker hates Trump. #never Trump is more like it. He is GOPe like Ryan and Preibus. His Cruz endorsement will be early this week.

I am so damn sick of this #never BS. I'm about ready to start a #TrumporStayHome movement.

That won't just effect the top line. It matters for ALL ballot races.

“The loser is about to endorse”

Okay, what justifies calling him a “loser?”

I’d like to have somebody younger. This is the campaign of the dinosaurs. They’re all boomers.

They don't trust anyone below the age of 70 with the car keys.
