Scott Walker has pulled the trifecta again, winning the first choice, second choice and consensus choice survey questions. Walker won the first choice question with 58% of the vote, Ted Cruz came in second with 22%, and Rand Paul came in third with 5%. Top 10:(RESULTS-AT-LINK)

B..b..but Jeb Bush is the frontrunner. Everyone KNOWS that!

[Sam Gamgee]

Would the ideal situation be for a conservative candidate to emerge from the crowd by the time of the first primary? Meaning, we all get a good look at Walker, Cruz, Rand, ect, and someone takes the field of conservatives so we don't split the vote? Or is that hoping too much?

[dowcaet]

He was supposed to be a shoo in. I guess we nutcase right-wingers aren’t playing the game of picking the lesser of two evils anymore.

Do you really think there's any - and I mean ANY - chance the Ben Carson voters or Rick Santorum voters or Rand Paul voters (somehwat different situation, granted) are going to budge? I think we already know the answer to that question.

THAT'S why Jeb Bush as frontrunner is a reality to be feared. Never forget: it's ALWAYS the Conservatives who split their votes so the GOP-E can win, and it's ALWAYS a conservative who bull-headedly refuses to drop out despite being completely broke (Santorum, Huckabee, et al).

Walker has a real shot, but odds are he becomes another victim of Conservacide voting. Never underestimate the power of the one-percenters to ruin it for everybody.

On your list, or any current list of potential candidates, there is only one conservative on it; and because Cruz is the only conservative; there is no way the conservatives can be divided.

CRUZ 2016!

Like another conservative says it is CRUZ OR LOSE!

God Bless Governor Walker and the United States of America. I am so excited about our future with a President Walker.

[napscoordinator]

Well I WAS a Santorum supporter in 2012 and still think that Republicans screwed themselves by not having him win the nomination.....However, that was then and today I am a 100 million supporter of Walker. Some here are horrible and bash Walker daily. It is embarrassing and disappointing to say the least.

[napscoordinator]

After Cruz supporting Reid today...I think you must be drunk with embarrassment.

[napscoordinator]

lol. I know. I did in 2012 and was disappointed that we didn’t pick Santorum....biggest shame.

[2ndDivisionVet]

I raised a bit over $40,000 for Fred Thompson and where did that get me?

[napscoordinator]

Yieks....he would have been good too. How did we end up with the worst? I always wonder who really votes.

[PoloSec]

Don’t know what you’re talking about; but if Reid did or said something right for a change and Cruz acknowledged it, that would not be considered support; whatever the case I will not be drunk with embarrassment.

I am not like other so-called conservatives who would throw another conservative under the bus over a single incident.

Those who claim to be conservative and do such a thing are drunk on communist propaganda or have had their minds poisoned by Rino’s, either way; they are as shameless as democrats.

[laplata]

Yes, it’s very disappointing. And some will sit it out if/when he wins the nomination.
