Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday he agrees that delegates to the Republican national convention should be free to vote their conscience, even if that means not supporting presumptive nominee Donald Trump.
Walker is a former presidential candidate and a delegate to the convention next month. He told reporters following a groundbreaking at a sausage factory that he will follow Wisconsin Republican Party rules and cast his ballot for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the first round because Cruz won the state primary.

If Trump loses, we will create a monster out of the Democrats own clay and then we’ll sit back and watch them fight with it.
“I used to like this guy. Now he’s an asshat.”
Walker was always a GOP company man. He just managed to hide for a long, long time.
They’ve got no conscience to vote, and he knows it.
Yup. But the GOPe doesn’t get it. They serve the NWO.
I want Paul Ryan to speak so he can be booed off the stage.
No!
I believe the voters (and FR) got it wrong and that Cruz would be a more reliably conservative president than Trump. Yes, Cruz has issues, some of which are severe (probably being less electable than Trump, and the stupid Cruz comment blaming Trump for violent liberal thugs come to mind). Trump has issues too, some of which are severe (the absence of ideology in areas like the Second Amendment and limited government come to mind). Even Ronald Reagan had issues.
However, at this point the “best” choice no longer matters. Trump won. He has more than enough pledged delegates. Any pledged delegate who cannot in good conscience vote for Trump (1) was morally wrong to accept the position as a delegate, and (2) is ethically obligated to request a replacement who can and will follow their state’s directions and laws.
Walker’s willingness to change the rules after the fact is far more serious than Trump’s biggest flaw. I hope Walker will think this through, apologize for his immoral proposal, and work to make restitution - by to ensuring that the will of the voters is followed at the Convention.
Note: I hope Cruz will also work both to ensure that Trump is nominated and that Trump is elected. I have concerns, but my hope is that Cruz has a plan (he always does) and that his plan includes the best time to come out in support of Trump (I have more doubts there).
Then Trump should go to the table, make promises, get elected, and then knife em in the back, just as they had been threatening all along had he not made “promises”. Give it right back to the scum.
Just try it. By the time the convention gets here Trump will be so clearly ahead that those who want to fight him will be laughed at.
Yup. Like Portman in Ohio. He campaigned against homoz, but then one of his daughters “came out”. He then promptly changed his position on homos. What a traitor!
Thanks for the note of agreement.
The globalists are the scourge of the planet.
They are dead to me already.
He wouldn’t be saying that if he’d have won the primary or he thought he has a snowball’s chance in hell of being Trump’s veep.
Folks, we must all be reluctant to jump on anyone’s bandwagon until they PROVE who they really are.
There actually should be no delegates period. Count them as “points”. And when someone gets 1237 points they’re nominated.
I supported Scott Walker for president before Donald Trump announced. Now this guy is an embarrassment. He is a good fit for Wisconsin and that is where it stops!

I agree. I used to like him. It would be best for him to not comment on Trump.
I like Gov. Walker but he’s dead wrong on this.
He wouldn’t let us vote our conscience on him, but I would have vote “No.”
We sent a reasonable amount of money to help him both times.
He’s butt hurt from the primaries, and he’s jealous.
Cruz: ‘I honestly had no idea I had Canadian citizenship until 2012, when other people who were not legal scholars like me said I did, and, by golly, they were right! I think they should be given honorary Harvard Law degrees, because they taught me about something I just plain didn’t believe could have been remotely possible.’
