How’d that work for ya in 2008 or 12—a better plan is to see to it that the Rinos don't get any traction and now is the time. We can't afford to cede the Republican Party to the kabal/rinos any more.We must standup and take it back.
Standing in the corner and pouting won't improve the situation at all.

With specific regard to results, yes.

Aside from rousing the rabble, Cruz has no results.

Rabble rousing in the meat and potatoes, the mother’s milk, of politics. Cruz has come to the aid of those like Walker that do have results by defining to the rabble the course forward.

NO question Bush has the most to gain.

But, its up to us to make sure our voices on the net and talk radio get the story right. We live in a political world of all lies all the time. We need to remain the voices of truth. If we do we have a shot at winning.

The country needs to stop moving to the Left in policy making.

Government must get smaller literally and the budget must be quickly balanced literally with entitlements heavily reformed and no bailouts for any businesses.

95 percent of the GOP elected officials are faking conservatism or repudiating it.

I will only support real and authentic conservatives, not just someone who busts the unions I don’t like to get a balanced budget.

Walker hasn’t defined himself on Ted Cruz and authentic conservatism or amnesty for illegal immigrants. That’s because I see him in the 95 percent.

Jeb Bush would be no better than a typical RAT. Remember, old man Bush “read my lips”, paved the way for Clinton, while GWB, brought about Obama. Jesse Jackson said one thing we can all agree to, “out da Bushs!”.

Jeb Bush? Here the demodummies go again, trying to prop up a weak candidate so they can beat him/her at the next election.

Yeah, because, there are only two choices.

Christie and Jeb Bush.

Y'see.

Scott Walker had a good week. Christie is wounded and the subpoenas against Wisconsin conservative groups were quashed

I thought the same thing about Clinton when his term expired. I thought they would have to pry him out of there. I don’t think we have to worry about Obama. That dude does not want to work, is always late, and seems constantly annoyed. He just waits for people to put things under his nose to sign. He still hasn’t worked a day in his life. I will always be thankful that Hillary did not win. That is a hard core Stalinist that would not rest.

But she caved on socialized medicine when facing strong opposition. Obama didn't. He's a doctrinaire Marxist.

“If the GOP runs Jeb Bush I am gonna sit 2016 out.”

You’re not the only one. I’m sort of glad we’ve beached the NJ whale under the GW bridge. However, Jeb Bush is no better. Jeb is one of the few candidates that unite the politically well informed and LIVs in opposition against another Bush. And if Jeb does run, you’ll have Rove, the COC, and all sorts of TP hating rinos alongside him. IMO, that makes Jeb very weak.

That being said, if the GOP runs Jeb, the party will be over, and in that case good riddance. The GOP, despite strong suicidal tendencies, will probably go for someone better. How much better is anyone’s guess at this point.

I’m from WI, and although Walker is pretty good on policy, and has shown outstanding courage vs the unions, he is no match for a phenom like Cruz. Cruz lacks executive experience, but he would absolutely shine in debates. Walker lacks the intellectual vigor or oratorical skill of a Cruz or Rand Paul. Walker is more likely to be tripped up by the communist media. Meanwhile, a Ted Cruz has an uncanny knack of reversing attacks and gaining the upper hand against the hostile media. Walker tends to ignore or downplay attacks, much like Bush 2.
