Well, with your thinking, the same could be said for Walker-—that Cruz is going to hurt him.
You’re going to be a wreck until you realize how things work. In walker and Cruz we have two top notch candidates.
The nominee will get the endorsement of the other—that’s a guarantee.
Are you going to sit it out if Walker wins?
Yeah -- except that Cruz has already declared his intentions. Cutting to the chase. Getting to the point. GOING FOR IT.
Meanwhile, Walker is pussy-footing around.
If Walker had declared first, then you'd be perfectly correct in saying that Cruz's entry to the race would hurt Walker.
Cruz means business. He SAID SO by entering early and straightforwardly. I think that already makes him better than Walker.
The nominee will get the endorsement of the other—that’s a guarantee.
Fat lotta good that'll do by the time it comes around and the functional-Democrat moderate Republican has the advantage. The primaries are already a stacked deck for that. The ONLY way to beat that stacked deck is to UNITE NOW and rob it of at least some of its power in splitting the vote.
Are you going to sit it out if Walker wins?
I believe that sitting out an election is a dereliction of duty if one is politically informed, but a DUTY if one is ignorant of politics. So I have a duty to vote, and will vote. But if Walker talks about repairing Obamacare or replacing it with something "better," if Walker talks about saving the "good" parts of Common Core, if Walker demonstrates that he just wants to do government differently than Democrats rather than stating plainly that he aims to REDUCE government, if Walker thinks it's okay for government to punish Christians when they discriminate peacefully and civilly against open homosexuals in their business, civic, and personal circles -- then my vote will be going third party.
Do you know why?
Because I am ONLY willing to vote for what I want to win. It is the only thing I am accountable for. The people who vote for government tyranny are accountable for it -- and I voted for it plenty over the years by voting for Any Republican on the sole rationale of voting "against" Democrats.
Cruz is a shining light, a gift.
Walker entering now can only work to lessen it.
