Scott Walker to Announce Endorsement Tuesday Morning
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/28/16 | Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 03/28/2016 2:58:10 PM PDT by justlittleoleme

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker will announce his presidential endorsement Tuesday morning during a Milwaukee radio show appearance, his political office said Monday.

Mr. Walker signaled last week that he will endorse Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, though he has yet to make that news official. WTMJ radio host Charlie Sykes, on whose show Mr. Walker will appear, said he has not been told whom Mr. Walker will endorse.

“You would think I would, but I don’t,” Mr. Sykes said Monday.

Last week Mr. Walker made it clear that he would eventually back Mr. Cruz. He has long expressed his skepticism of Mr. Trump’s campaign and he said during a radio interview last Wednesday that Ohio Gov. John Kasich “cannot” win the nomination. Mr. Walker said then that he would time his endorsement for “maximum impact.”

Charlie Sykes is the #nevertrump guy who interviewed Trump this morning. He was highly offended that Trump didn’t know that he was a #nevertrump guy. I’m guessing Trump had never heard of him before this morning.

Are you guys going to be able to handle it if Walker endorses Donald J. Trump?

Yeah that tends to happen when Trump goes out there and criticizes a Governor’s record based on something he read in Time magazine, or wherever he said he read it. I think he said Time.

Wonder how the union rank and file will react to Gov. Walker endorsing Cruz? (If he does)

Whatever.

Trump bounced him first out of the race.

So now it’s time to endorse the weakest candidate that Gope needs the most “for the team”.

And this “coveted” endorsement will be regurgitated ad naseum in the MSM as if it means something.

He has long expressed his skepticism of Mr. Trump’s campaign and he said during a radio interview last Wednesday that Ohio Gov. John Kasich “cannot” win the nomination.

Neither can Ted Cruz for that matter but unlike Kasich, Cruz has the best chance to hobble Trump's campaign, clearing the way for an establishment candidate not named Ted Cruz to win the nomination.

Walker was particularly nasty, bitter, and petty when he withdrew from the race. His nastiness was targeted towards Trump.

Walker was my favorite going into the primary season, and his actions helped nudge me closer to Trump. So I owe him one for that. #MakeAmericaGreatAgain

He’s a Republican Company man, and he will do what the company instructs him to do.

*********************************************

He wasn't offended, he was shocked. He was shocked at the incompetence of his campaign that didn't know he was a #nevertrump guy.

Walker has been a great Governor. His apparent dislike for Trump doesn’t diminish that. (In fact, it raises him in my estimation)
