Wisconsin governor Scott Walker said Thursday that in the event of a contested convention, the Republican nominee will likely be someone who is not currently running.
I think if its an open convention, its very likely it would be someone whos not currently running, Walker said.
I mean, who knows. The one thing I qualify its like the qualifications you see on those ads you see for car dealerships. I think any of us who comment on this election have to qualify that almost every predictions been off, so its hard to predict anything, Walker added.
Walkers own run for the presidency went down in flames before the Iowa caucus even happened, due in large part to Walker hiring a D.C.-based team that didnt know how to manage a conservative Midwesterner. Convention head Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has not definitively ruled out the possibility that he could get the nomination in Cleveland. John Boehner said that he would support Ryan on a second ballot.

Thank you for your very even handed response.
Even though we might disagree, we have agreed to continue to be fellow FR members.
Trust me, I want Cruz to succeed wherever his future paths take him.
What’s the point? Walker endorses Cruz yet looks to a brokered convention and says the nominee will not be one of the three currently running.
How many "Trump delegates" do you really think there are? After a first ballot, when they are free to vote as they see fit?
Very, very few, I imagine. Trump hasn't built the relationships and didn't even try to get his own loyal supporters selected as delegates in the states.
True, he won’t have the number of delegates as Reagan had in ‘76, but here on Georgia, Trum has enough to make a showing at the state and dist. Conventions, probably better in the NE. Cruz has done a good job getting his people to show up. Between the two, I don’t see a groundswell for a Romney or John Ellis Bush strategy.
Look who we have here..another fake Cruz “Christian”, who claims that anyone who doesn’t vote for Cruz is going to hell. What makes you think that your messiah, Cruz, is Christian? There’s no evidence.
Get off your high horse & aquire some humility. Sanctimonious hypocrite.
Wow, where did I say that? lol I think there's no doubt that those who support Trump are more of the secular type on average than the evangelical type. Naturally some true blue evangelicals are supporting Trump and some atheists are supporting Cruz, but overall, generally, not many people would argue that Trump has more of the secular vote.
What makes you think that your messiah, Cruz, is Christian? Theres no evidence.
Well, there's no evidence Cruz is my Messiah, but you have no qualms about making that proclamation. I voted for Cruz but Jesus is my Messiah, and like I said Walker is my first choice. So if Walker emerges from a brokered convention as the nominee, that would be great! ;^)

Woo Nelly, I really riled you up, Aye? lol You Trumpees can't handle disagreement. Like I said you would string people up if you could for not joining the cult of personality you have going. lol
Your original post implied that secular people voted for Trump & Christians voted for Cruz. If I misread your post, I apologize.
I have read many posts from Cruz voters stating that if one voted for someone other than Cruz, they weren’t Christians. I have seen MANY sanctimonious, holier than thou, hypocritical Cruz voters. I assumed you were one of them. My mistake.
Unusual to see a Walker supporter on here:) From what I understand, Walker has done some good things for Wisconsin. I’m just not sure if he’s strong enough on illegal immigration.
No, I was speaking generally, and thanks.

No, there's nobody pure running, never has been. Each of us judge who best can help America and vote accordingly. If Trump wins and does not back down from his primary statements that would be great. I voted for Cruz because he has a record of not going along to get along, and I like that a lot, I think that's what we need now, someone who has a long record of standing for conservative core beliefs, to buck the liberals of both parties.

Yeah, he's another that didn't go along to get along. Liberals hate him and that's good. He's a reformer with results, as Dubya would say.
Thanks again for your thoughtful post.
