No. It’s 15 months till the convention for God’s sake. Anyrhing can happen.
We conservatives need to coalesce early. And that’s probably happening. We’ll go for Walker or Cruz.
Perry had his chance, Santorum’s a joke and a has-been, Trump’s going nowhere. Who else is there?
Jeb’s a liberal republican, and none of us will vote for him.
In response to the title, we can only hope.
So who is in charge of deeming someone freakin unelectable??????
I live in NJ and have never had a meaningful say in who the nominee is, so it's up to you out there.
So I’m out with some big libs last night, and of course politics comes up. They say Hillary will win the presidency easily (apparently they didn’t see her pathetic press conference). They said: Rubio-too young. Cruz-too polarizing. Jeb-not another Bush. Walker-didn’t go to college. I say he went for 3.5 years, and was 5 classes short. 20% of past presidents didn’t go to college. He’s a dunce because of that they say. Ah yes- he wins 3 elections in 4 years in a deep blue union state- sure. They spent the most time on him comparing him to Palin at one point. The term “stupid” came up a lot. So they are the most afraid of Walker. Who knew. In the end they want us to pick Governor Crispy Cream as our nominee. And they still love the Messiah.

Our biased, partisan media has proven to me time and time again that they can stop ANYBODY, once they put their mind to it.
There is no such thing as “unstoppable”. Remember, this same chattering class thought the 2008 election was going to be a nail-biter between Hillary and Rudy. How’d that turn out, again?
However, Walker might not be the ideal conservative candidate (flip-floppiness on amnesty and ethanol are.... worrisome, to say the least), but I’d say he really ought to be considered the early favorite. He’s clearly a winner - something the GOP desperately needs - and he’s shown a determination to get key policies implemented in the face of heavy opposition and media pressure - something conservatives should be licking their chops over.
But invincible? No, not even close. Heck, the establishment wing is still trying to find a viable alternative (settling on Rubio?) and he’ll face pressure from the right. And there’s always a chance for a major unforced error, especially with a hostile media ready to turn any little thing, real or imagined, into a major scandal.
Makes me think of the title of a book that a friend wrote ... WTF
Scott Walker has not yet met the Bush $$mear machine yet. If he can maintain his bearing and humor when that gets cranked up then I think he is in for the duration.
Cruze and Walker are probably the only ones who can go the whole primary season without apologizing for something or explaining something. Either slip dooms a Republican. That’s why Democrats never apologize, even when they are “apologizing” for something.
The title is kind of a silly question. This is so early in the process that anything can happen. Walker is an early frontrunner, to the surprise of many. But as we saw in 2012, that status can change many times before we get a nominee.
I’d love to see a Cruz surge, although I am a bit leery of another first-term senator as president. But barring Cruz taking the race by storm, Walker appears to be an acceptable alternative - AT THIS TIME! But my view on that could change depending upon what else comes out about Walker’s policies.
Coalesce for Walker-Cruz or Cruz-Walker. 15 months out, and carry the Big Mo into the primaries.
Unstoppable? Now they are treating him like Hillary!
