The GOP is no longer afraid of Cruz. Koch is taking Walker and Rubio to the WH: it became evident last weekend and this week.
Rush may not actually support Walker over Cruz but Walker - as you see on the graph above - is lagging Cruz but that won’t be the case after this week’s lavish treatment.
You saw how Iowa was spun. Even though Ted got twice the applause and excitement, it was spun as a Walker win all week. Every poll and most articles this week mention Cruz in passing, if at all.
What I’m saying is the establishment is lighting the rockets on Walker/Rubio this minute and if we don’t vet Walker enough, he’s going to leave Ted in the dust with his new mega-supporters.
Ted Cruz is going to have a harder row to hoe when up against accomplished governors..
Frankly speaking, we are going to have one of the best slates to pick from in a generation.
As I said, I am not ever, ever going to pay the slightest attention to a flipping chart or poll at this stage. It’s pointless. But if you must, then do, but you are wasting your time.
I will begin to pay attention to them about 3 weeks from the primary.
Yes, the GOP is indeed afraid of Cruz, as they are Palin and the tea party and this is proven by the constant attacks.
The GOP money will likely be going to Bush. Unless something huge occurs to change this..
The something I refer to would have to be that they finally take that fear seriously, but I really don’t think that they will. I think they will continue to attack tea party candidates, Cruz, Palin if necessary and associate them with the fringe right wing as usual.
If they finally get it, things might change, but if they don’t get it, the Democrat candidate could possibly smoke them again.
I like Cruz, I like him a lot.
I highly respect Walker and what he has accomplished.
Mike Pense is pretty good, but I have looked at him before and found his campaign ability somewhat deficient.
But it’s way early....and I won’t be voting for Jeb. If it come to that, I will violate my straight ticket pattern that I have used for 45 years and throw away a vote to one of the independents or libertarians.
If the GOP believes that there are enough voters that will do the same thing as I am planning to do, they might come in our direction to prevent a loss.
If not.....well... Probably won’t make any difference anyway. I don’t think the country is going to survive another 20 years no matter who gets the job. Nor will the rest of the western world unless they can eliminate their debt loads.
Chances are good we will be in a global conflict within 5yrs..
