Some ‘experts’ call Walker a conservative. Others call him establishment. The Media and GOP elites are trying hard to paint Walker out early.
What makes Carson a ‘social conservative’?
Cruz, quite probably the most conservative of the entire field, does not seem to make the needle move. Walker, after his well-received Iowa speech, became the leader of the pack, neck and neck with Bush. Cruz, who also have a well-received Iowa speech, did not gain much. Cruz remained in the single digit area.
Then, there is Lindsey Graham, who claims to be considering a run, but nobody seems to even notice him. Same with Peter King.
I don’t think Carson is a conservative at all, he was still a Democrat this time last year.
Cruz is a Senator. We have a Senator as POTUS now. It has been a disaster. Walker is a blue state Governor. He is decidedly a successful governor as a Conservative in a Blue state. It might not be New York Blue, but it is not exactly Texas or even Ohio. Walker has shown he can get things done. Governors are also much more likely to be elected President than is a senator. 2008 was an anomaly
A smart candidate and consultant would try to get a coalition going. A marriage of sorts. An early ticket announcement or better yet an agreement that Walker appoint Cruz to the Supreme Court with his first available pick in exchange for his endorsement and help campaigning.
Where would Cruz do more to disrupt the Leftist agenda? A four or eight year tour of the Oval Office, or a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court?
He's never compromised, cashed in, sold out, eased up, cooled down, waited his turn, stepped aside or gone with the flow. He's just a righteous dude. What a crappy politician. He probably has a 0% approval rating with the media/establishment!
