Walker: I'll support Trump if he's the GOP nominee
POLITICO ^ | April 20, 2016 | Nick Gass

Posted on 04/20/2016 10:18:20 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker now vows to support whoever the Republican Party puts forward as its nominee at July's convention in Cleveland, even if that person is Donald Trump.

"I will support the Republican running against (Democratic front-runner) Hillary Clinton in the fall -- whoever that is," Walker told reporters Wednesday, according to a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

They're full of piss & vinegar today as they celebrate winning their home state as everyone expected.

No whining at they take 90% of the delegates with 60% of the vote.

As we do not live in a monarchical or totalitarian country (yet!), Gov. Walker is free to oppose your precious Donald Trump this election cycle. Don’t like it? Too bad.

And if Cruz were leading, Trump supporters on here have already admitted they’d vote Democrat. They still will if Cruz wins at the convention. The party’s divided no matter who wins.

Pardon me. This isn't correct, at least in terms of me personally.

I've stated I'm voting for Trump, whether I check the box or write him in.

That does not mean I'm voting for Hillary or Bernie.

I support Trump and there is no way in hell I would vote for Ted Cruz - not now. If he gets the nomination, I am staying home for the first time in my life.

I doubt it. Hillary is the worst. I'll even take the leftist Kasich over Hillary. Now Trump is all we got. By every measure he is far, far superior over Hillary (except, of course, to Hillary's supporters).

Who else is there? Kasich is a mess. Cruz has unraveled, perhaps from the pressure and from very bad advice. His statement after the Chicago violence cost him dearly, and his unnatural obsession with Trump makes him appear paranoid and not stable. I find this sad since Cruz stared out great and used to be my top choice.

Then there is Bernie.

Like Cruz, Walker started out well. Part of his problem might have been that the leftist George Will’s wife joined his campaign.

And the guy running it, Wiley, who’s now part of the Trump campaign pis_ed money away too soon, with little to show for it. sure, Walker’s campaign was doing well at first, but Wiley really didn’t spend the money very wisely.

"Have to say I do not understand the extreme hate he get here. Must be a purity thing."

Amen brother. My cousin's wife was in the Assembly when Act 10 was passed and those were scary times. Walker is a tough guy...very quiet, brave and sure. I like him, which I'm sure will earn me a bunch of rotten comments from those who've become pretty sure they know all about him, but really don't.

The right path is defeating the WWOTL.

I.e., he’s available. Walker’s problem is that Kasich can deliver a close nomination to Trump, and is governor of a bigger & more critical state in November.

Well apparently you haven’t been paying attention

Trump can still have a majority, if Kasich and Rubio delegates are locked out of the convention, the number needed drops.

However 1237 would guarantee the nomination, and Trump can still do that

Cruz and Kasich are mathematically eliminated, they should drop out for the good of the party

1. How would the Cruz and/or Kasich delegates be locked out of the convention?

2. If Cruz or Trump cuts a pre-convention deal with Kasich (getting his delegates in exchange for the VP slot, for example), then it’s conceivable that either one of them could get to 1237 on the first ballot.

3. I think Trump is going to get to 1237 on the first ballot without having to make a deal, but I’m not 100% certain of that.

Not. Delegates can abstain. Rule 40(b) might keep Kasich from being nominated on the first ballot, but any delegates pledged to him can abstain then. Ditto for Rubio's delegates.

IMO Trump will get to 1,237 on the first ballot if he has 1,000+ when the primaries end, but he'll have to make some deals to go over the top.

No, it means Trump is going to be the nom. It’s time for all conservatives get on the Trump Train and defeat the Hildabeast.

Right on.

The "Cruz or Lose" hacks may as well put a Hillary bumper sticker on their car, the way they're behaving these past near 24 hours now.
