Now that it’s been confirmed that Ted Cruz is running for president, it’s time for everyone to weigh in, and Scott Walker was one of the first to be asked about the announcement on Fox News. Walker was very gracious to Ted Cruz, while jabbing at Jeb Bush yet again by saying we need a fresh face to combat Hillary’s haggard decrepit visage.
Watch.. [comments start at 6 minute mark] [full interview with Fox runs around 8:00]
While Cruz will almost certainly get a bump for being the first candidate to declare his campaign, Walker is still ahead in the polls. Will he catch up to the Governor? Stay tuned!
Well said.
I watched the Walker interview and he did NOT bash anyone. A little early to start the circular firing squad but yes, even right-leaning media can fan those flames.
Let the candidates declare. Let the people do their research and decide. And for God’s sake, let the best, most qualified candidate win.
hat tip: Reaganite Republican
Are you off the meds?
I sure hope you are, because if a person is as willfully ignorant and devoid of brain matter as you portray yourself, that’s really sad.
The headline is garbage. Walker did not trash Jeb.
Lies like this headline are detrimental to the Cruz effort. If supporters must lie, Cruz will suffer
Time to check my finances - both will need cash.
Bless your heart.
Nice to see a pretty well reasoned post.
it looks like you and I are a mirror image. Walker being my first choice. And like you, I would be happy with either of them. If either of them wins the Presidency, the real winner will be The United States.
{Canadian} citizen with a Communist father {Cuban} and a white mother.}
I was stationed in {Cuba} just before {Castro} took over, at that {time}, no one suspected {he} was a {communist} even the State Department.
Some of {Castro’s} followers were even allowed on base {to}
visit families that {worked} there.
Ted’s {father} wasn’t a member of {the} the {Communist} party, he only {knew} that Batista was a {brutal} dictator and, like many, saw Castro as a {liberator}.
All the true candidate should bash the two enemies we have Jeb and Comrade Hildebeaset
Soros threw his weight behind Warren in the Boston Globe.
Hilary is toast.
She isn’t in good enough health for the primary, and the money men and king makers know it.
I would like to see Cruz/Walker team up. Every president needs a VP. And their differing backgrounds would compliment each other.
Troll man speaks.
Palin gave us Cruz, the Palin branch of the GOP/conservatism are huge Cruz supporters.
mark8express is just a troll, look at his (almost nonexistent) posting history.
“I would not be in the U.S. Senate today if it were not for Governor Palin,” Cruz said.”
This headline and the bit of the article that I could stomach are just plain old lies.
Who else do they have? Boston press is practically begging the faux squaw to run, while anyone younger than dirt (other than Maryland's O'Malley) looks to be biding their time, either waiting for a fatal slip-up or looking ahead to 2020.
As long as PIAPS is still standing, I don't see any of the 'rat minnows having a shot at dislodging her. And she's too single-mindedly stubborn to back down on her own. At this point, it would take a criminal indictment or a physical ailment that absolutely prevents her from campaigning to stop her from clinging on to that hope.
While I favor Cruz myself, your analysis may be just what is in store for us from the liberal Republican primary voters.
Maybe Walker is following the Reagan doctrine- do not speak ill of another Republican. Not that I can see any ill about which to speak.
(From WIKI)
While popularized by Reagan, “The Eleventh Commandment” was created by then California Republican Party Chairman Gaylord Parkinson. In his 1990 autobiography An American Life, Reagan attributed the rule to Parkinson, explained its origin, and claimed to have followed it:[3]
The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. It’s a rule I followed during that campaign and have ever since.
Ronald Reagan was a class act.
1. Communist Cubans ain't white?
2. If he was a commie, why'd he leave the commie paradise?
3. Pro commie, anti Christian?
Prove these allegations and I'll stand with you. Or did you forget the < /sarc > tag for what the lyin' RATs will be throwing at him later?
