Of all the potential candidates the Democrats may face, it’s Walker that scares them the most. He has and will capture the same Democrats that Reagan did. He’s also got a very strong minority outreach.

He scares Democrats because he’s eaten their lunch in their lunchroom. He walked right into the kitchen, like he owned the place.

And apparently, based on some replies I've received, the Huckster's hired some trolls of his own to plug his marxist snake oil right here on Free Republic.

I think you missed my point .. I was discussing with somebody else about my concern for Walker .. only because he has battled so hard to change Wisconsin (and has done a remarkable job); concern because we know the left is just salivating for payback .. and would love to rip Wisconsin apart.

I have never, ever made any comment that “the Constitution says a presidential candidate must be a Governor”. I don’t know where you got that from.

I totally agree with you .. “it’s what is in the heart that makes a great president.”

My candidate is Ted Cruz .. and I have said it here many times; I’ve voting for Ted Cruz .. and I sure hope he’s running and on the ballot or otherwise, I will have to write his name in.

Sorry you got all upset.

Were you aware that you can look into the section called “mail” .. and see other msgs from the same person? Sometimes, if you look there and type in the screen name, you can see a whole bunch of msgs the person has written and you can get a better sense of their opinions. If you had done that for me .. ??

I’m Cruz or Bust, too, but Walker needs to stay in long enough to garner support that he can throw to Ted towards the end.

The true conservatives will endorse the conservative that comes out on top; it’s our job to make sure that is Cruz.

I hope Cruz wins the nomination and presidency.

But I thought the media had already picked our candidate. Again.

"We need the candidate who is most fearless in fighting for conservative principles, who will not back down, who is the best communicator of constitutional issues, who is the most intelligent."

The final one we can simply throw out as nonsense. Both Cruz and Walker are intelligent.

Using intelligence as a qualification is NOT nonsense. Perhaps Walker is intelligent. I'm not that familiar with him. Cruz is very intelligent.

Cruz is a top communicator. Walker, not so much.

Walker has top experience fighting for conservative principles at the local level. Cruz as top experience fighting for conservative principles at the national level.

Cruz 2016.

On a national level, under such a scenario, I’m afraid Walker would throw his support behind a RINO.

The Tea Party is all in for Cruz.

After watching all the action yesterday .. Cruz is far and away the best candidate.

I do agree with some of the things Trump had to say; but he repeated almost half of his msg and that has caused me to doubt him a little. Even when the audience didn’t react the second time .. he didn’t seem to notice. But we did.

I like Walker too .. but I’m very concerned that if he leaves Wisconsin NOW .. it will only take the left about a week to totally destroy everything he did.

Until Wisconsin could stand on it’s own two feet without Walker, I really want him to stay there and protect his state. He can be very effective in training other Governors.

Trump went after Cruz’ birth cert the other day; he’s dead to me. He used to support Cruz, too.

Hmmmmm ..?? I’ve never heard Trump say a word about Ted’s birth.

Anyway, Ted is a dual citizen. There are a lot of people who are dual citizens. His mother was an American Citizen, and he was born in Canada. That affords Cruz the dual citizenship.

And .. I believe Cruz has already denounced his Canadian citizenship .. just to keep the waters from being muddied anymore about it.

But .. if you’re going to enter the Presidential race, I guess that entitles you to say a few things that concern you about another candidate.

Ain’t it the truth? Huckster has the religious right snowed. He is their boy. They are being suckered again. God gave us brains and free will so we can detect the false prophets... some are more like cultists than christians though.

My wife is one of the cultists I’m afraid. Just this morning came out an, “I like Huckabee.” whereupon I began to enumerate some of his self aggrandizing and socialist activities in Arkansas.
