Yep, they said that when he ran for US Senator.

This Philadelphian ranks Cruz 1, Walker 2. The rest I could care less.

“I’ll vote for Cruz, as it stands now, but Walker is squishy on ILLEGAL immigration.”

Not just squishy, he is flipflopping.

Ever seen Ted do that?

“Frankly, we don’t think Cruz has it in him. He is a right-wing, tea party conservative through and through. If he tries to sound the least bit moderate, he’ll probably choke on the words.”

I haven’t heard Cruz or anyone talk about going moderate. He has no plans on doing that and that is why he is going to win.

Anyone to the left of Cruz is a liberal and the country is sick of liberals.

Bucks rag said Cruz is “polarizing”, but Clinton had demanded that MSM not refer to her as polarizing. Got it.

You’re reading my mind. I just thought “whistling past the graveyard”, then read your post. I hope they’re having nightmares and wetting the bed, too.

It’s amusing that so much time is spent degrading a guy that will never win.

Looks like Walker is changing his position on immigration since he took a trip to the border with Gov Abbott.

In the recall election in CA, if everyone that didn’t vote for Tom McClintock because he was “unelectable” did vote for him, he may have won.

... he would then have to move even closer to the center to have any chance to prevail in November.

No.

Romney had, at the most during the early primaries, no more than a quarter of the primary votes. The only way Romney won the nomination was that the establishment GOP continued to pay vanity candidates to enter the race pretending to be "the" conservative candidate -- the slate-of-eight, against one RINO GOP-e non-candidate. Romney lost the general election against the absolute worst Democrat candidate in the history of the USA. Any one of the slate-of-eight might have won, if running as the lone conservative.

Cruz is the lone conservative in this race. As I previously predicted, Walker just cannot stop pandering and pretending, and cannot articulate a consistently conservative message. The rest of the potential candidates are even worse, far worse.

He got a dose of reality. That’s a good thing.

Being from the area, the editorial board of this fish wrapper are majority leftists who would NEVER describe a candidate as too LIBERAL.

Ignore and move along.

Yes. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Want to bet? Last time they said this was with Reagan—he won and served well—so well even Democrats repected him. The electibles—like Dole, McCain, Mittens, went down to flaming defeat because they stood for nothing and could be turned into SNL Clowns and pummeled with the Rich, selfish, out of touch mantra. Time to turn Right and try a conservative who stands for something.

What I posted and what you thought is the patently obvious/only thing that comes to mind. Those writing all of these EXTREMELY negative articles are indeed scared, having hysterics, nightmares, and wetting their collective beds.
