I just read a quote from Cruz. “How can we succeed when our own side is firing cannons at those who stand up and lead?”

Does anyone remember early on how we laughed at the thought that Mitt Romney would be our nominee?

Yep, I have been saying for awhile, Jeb and Christie will be our only choices. Somehow we must strengthen and rally behind a Ted Cruz early and loud enough to shut these guys out!

Walker supports illegal immigration. That is a huge no no in this economy.

Absolutely! We need to unite in the primary behind Cruz. No more divided vote or Jeb/Christy will slip thru the cracks and become our nominee.

What I find curious is the idea that a dim mayor would support a repub governor.
I can’t imagine Christie contemplating or thinking that his non-support required retribution.

OTOH, I think the bottleneck in such a critical location would have been brought to his attention.
With two toll booths closed there would have been a personnel problem.

The truth is that they are grooming Lemuel Bush for the job, if they can convince him to take his meds, stop living in dumpsters, and not to say anything in public until his family buys him the presidency, then put him in a persistent coma so they can again run the country into the ground.

If the best this country has to offer are the Clintons and the Bushs, we might as well pack it in. Historians in the future will look at the period 1989-2020 as bad as the period 1840-1860, in terms of presidential ability and competence.

Of course, we know what happened after that last period.

The severity of brain damage to compel someone to consider another Bush could be a viable candidate after all of this is frightening in no uncertain terms.

"Walker is really the only viable candidate I can see. Same union busting credentials as Christie.

I could vote for Walker....NOT Christie or Bush...

The sooner a new second party is organized, the better it will do.

Walker is really the only viable candidate i can see.

I think you are right. Cruz is still in his first term and has not really done anything that resulted in RESULTS. Walker has done so much. I know that some thing standing up and talking for hours is considered a victory but I don’t. Sheesh nothing became of it.

When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

The student is clearly not ready yet.

Sure, Christie did the act on his own. The setup was revealing the act to the press. Who has the most to gain? Jeb? Rove?

Are you saying that Cruz hasn’t had any results, and you’re concerned that his results haven’t resulted in any results, like Scott Walker’s results have? Because results are results. Let’s face it.

LOL. What a easy question. What results has Scott Walker have? Are you serious? He cut spending, cut taxes, cut the debt, got rid of unions, made his state right to work. Cruz? Stood for 21 hours talking.

None of us want to vote for another Bush and now is the time to make sure that never happens. We need to go all out for Ted Cruz or a close clone to oppose what will surely be a huge blitz by every rino in the country trying to get the nomination.

Its up to us to see to it that does not happen. We need a conservative candidate this time around.
