Scott Walker endorses Cruz ahead of Wisconsin primary
CBS ^ | 03/29/2016 | SEAN GALLITZ

Posted on 03/29/2016 7:23:40 AM PDT by cann

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has formally endorsed Ted Cruz one week before the state's critical primary.

"I am proud to endorse Ted Cruz," Walker told radio host Charlie Sykes on Tuesday. "After a lot of thought, a lot of time, a lot of prayer about this, I just really decided that after all these years of the Obama-Clinton failures, that it's time that we elect a strong, new leader and I've chosen to endorse Ted Cruz to be the next president of the United States."

“I am not thinking Walker is ‘establishment’ but I really don’t put him in my realm of anybody whose opinion I give a crap about. He seems to do well there in his state and good on him. He just needs to take care of his peoples’ bidness and STFU on national politics IMO.”

Same applies to Palin then.

That, and the fact that this businessman also ended politician Walker’s presidential aspirations.

Kasich and Trump love unions. Walker busts the unions. Not likely he wanted to anywhere near Kasich.

The GOPe will continue to prop up Cruz through Wisconsin, on the chance he wins it. If Cruz loses WI, he’ll be of no further use to them and they’ll dump him like yesterday’s trash.

Walker was one I was considering from the original list of candidates....Trump, however has never made the cut.

I was a Scott walker supporter from the get-go. Once he dropped out I naturally gravitated towards Cruz. Both are deep-thinkers (I’ll let Trump-supporters parse those words).

Walker was the first candidate to put the country above his ego. If Kasich and Rubio and Bush had followed suit, Cruz would already be ahead of Trump.

"Uh-oh, now FR will hate conservative hero, Scott Walker!"

Wasn't it just a year ago when Cruz was the darling of Freerepublic?
Now he gets the Palin Derangement Syndrome attacks. Because The Donald says.

I know I’m shocked. Mitt Walker endorsed Ted Cruz. Insiders take care of each other. LOL!

Teds paying off his campaign debt had nothing to do with this endorsement

Glad to see him hitched to the Cruz wagon, come what may
He may wish he’d waited another week

Walker would never consider endorsing the democrat Kasich. He has conservative principles and endorsed the Constitutional Conservative.

Walker would have already checked into that before he put his name on the line. Looking more and more like you Trumpsters failed utterly with you NE rumor mongering, etc

Trump's National Enquirer stunt and his attacks on Heidi Cruz are blowing up in his face big time, especially with women voters. That is why he tried to scrub all of that off his Facebook page yesterday. HUGE FAIL!

Alright Tbots, now let's hear you scream about how Scott Walker is a sell out or part of the GOPe

You just don't understand. Donald Trump is the only conservative we've ever had in this country. The only way you can tell a true conservative, is if they back a man whose conservative credentials include donating to Hillary, Reid, Kamala Harris and Bill DeBlasio.

Just an observation here. There may be a newer poll out but I can’t find it.

From Oct 1, 2015

Gov. Scott Walker’s approval rating in Wisconsin, already tattered during his early foray into the presidential race, has hit a new low of 37 percent after his exit from the campaign, the latest Marquette Law School Poll has found.

Why? I value Scott Walker’s opinion much more than I do yours. Why should he need to STFU?

I must say I am surprised after the interview last night. cruz is not viable in any way for the republican party.

When you watch an interview your hear what you want to hear. I have the same opinion of Trump that you do of Cruz when I hear him speak.
