Didn’t guess entirely in that Walker was there. But it is just leftist wishful thinking. We believe in a real and fair contest on the right. Unlike the left that just crowns whoever is the most extreme leftist at the moment.
I did not read Slate’s spew. However, My take is there are 3 likely contenders, Cruz, Walker and Bush. The one the Left fears seems to be Walker. Its puzzling why the left is being nice to Cruz.
I would suspect The Elitists plan seems to be to dilute the field so much no one will get a large number of votes then use their vote fraud machine to swing the primary to the most GOPe candidate that is in - likely Bush.
