I like your ability to articulate your position. So, I do have respect for your point-of-view.

With that being said, I think Walker is going to self-destruct on his flip-flopping stance on illegal immigration, which will open the door to a Ted Cruz presidency even wider.

I'm sure you have already seen this, but for others who might not know about Walker's pandering to the Chamber of Amnesty:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told a private dinner of New Hampshire Republicans this month that he backed the idea of allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the country and to eventually become eligible for citizenship, a position at odds with his previous public statements on the matter…

But during the March 13 New Hampshire dinner, organized by New Hampshire Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Horn at the Copper Door Restaurant in Bedford, Mr. Walker said undocumented immigrants shouldn’t be deported, and he mocked 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney’s suggestion that they would “self-deport,” according to people who were there…

Thank you for your kind words, and I am keeping my powder dry with regard to Walker. I saw the report you mentioned, but have not had time to read it carefully. What I did read so far indicates that this information is coming from "witnesses", which makes me cautious about accepting it at first blush. I'd like to see a transcript of the speech or hear a recording to know exactly what was said and in what context before I judge. I have seen too many cases where comments were taken out of context or deliberately mis-reported in an attempt to tear an opponent down.

With that being said, if Walker did say he favored a path to citizenship in that meeting and then says he does not favor such a path in public, that kind of blows his credibility out of the water.
