Americans won’t make that mistake again.

How about Republicans not making the mistake again of splitting the vote between conservatives like Cruz and Walker, and throwing the nomination to a Bush or Christie?

Hmmmm?

Naps, we've got less than two years to pull this off via the GOP. Now that Cruz has announced his candidacy for the primary, the ONLY thing that Walker would accomplish by joining the race is to weaken Cruz and strengthen moderate/leftist Republicans.

Walker is the single largest threat to Ted Cruz right now. It is what it is.

There is a bigger threat, and that's the candidacy of Perry, Santorum, Huckaphony, Carson, Rubio, and maybe a couple of others.

In a three way race, meaning Walker, Cruz and Jeb, Jeb will finish last. With the others in, it's hard to say.

Jeb is not even as good a candidate as Romney (a super pejorative, that), he can't win without a ton of candidates weakening the conservative vote.

I think we need to have Cruz and Walker voters make a pact. If one of them does seriously better than the other in the first few primaries, we should agree to hop on that bandwagon.

I know, I know......highly wishful thinking.......

Oh such BS. We need to pick the best candidate and that is Walker. Sorry but Cruz is a good guy but is no where near ready for President. He would make a better Supreme Court Justice or even a Senate Majority Leader. As President, he won’t get his agenda passed because he does not have that ability to persuade others to pass his agenda. That is a big problem that Reagan didn’t have.
Walker has been able to pass his agenda because he is persuasive and that is good for us and that is with a Democratic state with legislators being Democratic. It is quite a feet that only Reagan as emulated.

Why should Governor Walker quit if he is ahead of Senator Cruz id delegate counts after SC primary?

Why should the Senator quit if he is ahead of the Governor in delegate count after SC primary?

The logical and fair thing to happen would be whoever is winning more delegates should stay in, and the other drop out.
