Thanks for the reply.
This isn’t about bringing someone down (like you said in post #12), but raising Cruz up. The MSM seems obsessed with Walker right now and there are others that would be just as good a commander in chief and are far more conservative than him in other areas.
Why is the MSM talking about him non-stop? That really has me wondering.
I seriously doubt that the MSM wants Cruz anywhere near the Oval Office.
Cruz/Kasich in my personal opinion. Kasich locks down Ohio as he is very popular in that state.
Look at post #3 and then also ask yourself if while you personally would not want to take any option off the table, would you always broadcast this publicly?
How, exactly, do you see yourself “raising Cruz up?” I’m missing it altogether. And, if attention of the news media is a criteria, Walker has a lot of catching up to do to get anywhere near Cruz.
When Sen. Cruz is asked the same exact question, as surely he will be, and answers that he wouldn’t take any options off the table, what will you say? He’d be a fool to say anything else, and one thing he is not is a fool.
I wasn’t #12...
I don’t know if the MSM is obsessed with Walker since I don’t watch TV news much anymore. But if they are, its probably that they are looking for a wedge against Cruz. I think GOPe is looking for the same thing, a way to split the conservatives to give Bush clear sailing. So they’ll promote Huck to bleed off social conservatives, and Walker to split whats left.
Which is not to say Walker is a bad guy. He has proven himself to be a fighter, and fearless at that. He’s not very charismatic, which may be another reason they might prefer him to Cruz.
But he answered the question appropriately in my view, and I doubt Cruz will answer it any differently. ISIS and the jihadist world in general are at war with us. If we can find proxies to fight them, great. But its the old Hitler adage: Would you rather fight him when he is a nobody or wait until he is a serious threat? Hopefully, we can find proxies to support and keep the war at arm’s length but there is no guarantee since Obama has made such a mess of things over there.
In any case, I think Cruz and Walker together would make a wonderful team. So while I’m all in for Cruz, thats not a strike against any other conservative candidate who might wind up being his #2.
