It is letting Democrats both call and manipulate the shots.
How soon we forget how these boards read in 2007 about this time. It was ASSUMED that whoever the candidate turned out to be would have to be able to beat Hillary, the Great and Terrible. The constant question was "but can he/she beat Hillary?"
I really don't care who the Democrats nominate. The ONLY thing I care about is who the Republicans nominate. If "they" are already basing their consideration on Fear of Hillary, it bodes as ill for all concerned as it did in 2007.
Especially seeing as how in 2012, enough legal on-the-ground actual Americans spotted the sucker's bet of voting to endorse government tyranny either way, to let Obama "win" by default. That is what happened.
The only important thing is who will nominate or represent limited government Christian conservatism. Cruz (and Palin, for that matter), are the only two who fit that description. Sorry, though Walker is a good fighter of unions and pro-life, he has one too many examples of actual limited government principle sailing over his head. He wants to manage government better, tinker with it and "fix" it. A limited government Christian conservative wants to eliminate tyrannical government consistently, morally (judicial) and fiscally, so Americans can pursue free, moral prosperity again.
THIS.
