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.”

Walker went after Trump first talking about he shouldn’t have called Rosie a “Pig”. He said several other mean things. Trump was only defending his family for the things Rosie said about them on TV .
When Walker went off I wrote him an e-mail telling him NO MORE MONEY even if to fight the Teachers Union again. Walker’s a Jerk. Walker would have defended him family’s honor and I told him that.

Just recently Governor Walker said the GOP nominee would likely be someone who is not currently running.

If he’s smart he won’t endorse Cruz. I’m guessing he will endorse Kasich.

Considering how unpopular Walker has gotten in Wisconsin, this might not be a plus for Cruz.

The Good Governor might want to double check the ramifications of endorsing someone people are increasingly regarding as a hypocrite.

Amanda whats-her-face did more to harm TC than Cruz himself.

Didn’t you say the now-zotted FReeper ScottWalkerforPresident2016 was a Trumpbot? Shame he’s not still here, it would be fun to ping him to a thread where Scott Walker endorses Cruz.

Walker to Cruz: “Yeah I’ll endorse you on one condition”

Cruz to Walker: “Sure Scott, name it”

Walker to Cruz: “For God’s sakes, do NOT use the word ‘copulate’ in the same sentence my name is mentioned?”

The Endorsement Primary

Thanks for the link. I would add that Cruz has also been endorsed by about 350 state legislators across the country.

Uh Walker will endorse Cruz because CRUZ SOLICITED CAMPAIGN MONEY DONATIONS FOR WALKER TO PAY OFF WALKER’S CAMPAIGN DEBT...No big surprise there...It is a quid pro quo...more Status Quo from GOPe.

Besides, Walker is Governor of Wisco...The GOPe apparatus is strongest in Wisconsin with Reince Priebus and Paul Ryan located there.

...He will of course endorse Cruz. End of story...actually no story here. He is Just trying to be a media whore.

How many Wisconsians’ votes will be affected by Walker endorsing Cruz? I doubt many. I believe the vast majority of WI Republicans have already decided for whom they will vote.

He may not be well known nationally. However, he is a pretty big radio talk show personality in Wisconsin.

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

Union rank-and-file isn't exactly your typical Cruz voter to begin with. They'll overwhelmingly either be voting Trump or Democrat.

If Cruz gives him $500,000 as he did Carly, the money shortage might start being a problem. Or Heidi will send every day 3 or 4 e-mails again asking for money.

What that boob (Sykes) didn’t realize is that it was probably just Trump calling him. Trump doesn’t have an army of media people telling him what to do, when to do it, and what to say. Trump is his own campaign operation. Sykes should have known that by now.

Don’t think it would be good if Walker endorsed Trump. Walker is polling in the mid 30’s for job approval!
