Wrong. Palin and her pals do not influence National Elections. Most of the folks who like Cruz voted Libertarian or sat out. Walker is a much better candidate.

Walker sold out the the
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS".
Look at his FLIP-FLOP on AMNESTY.
You can NOT TRUST Walker.
I quote his answers to "On The Issues".
Endorses path to citizenship for immigrant workers
Scott Walker distanced himself from House Republicans debating a new immigration bill by endorsing a path to citizenship for immigrant workers.Walker acknowledged that a substantial number of Wisconsin farms depend on migrant workers, some of them here illegally.
He also was sharply critical of how difficult the federal government makes it for those workers to come to this country. "If people want to come here and work hard and benefit, I don't care whether they come from Mexico or Ireland or Germany or Canada or South Africa or anywhere else," he said.
"I want them here."
The Democratic-led U.S. Senate passed an immigration bill last week that features a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
Many conservative House Republicans oppose the bill, viewing it as rewarding law-breakers.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants.
Make it easier to enter the country legally
Walker said he is in favor of the Senate immigration bill--that features a path to citizenship--but called it a backward "Band-Aid" approach,
saying elected leaders should make it easier for people to enter the country and become legal citizens in the first place. "Not only do they need to fix things for people already here, or find some way to do it, there's got to be a larger way to fix the system in the first place," he said.
"Because if it wasn't so cumbersome, if there wasn't such a long wait, if it wasn't so difficult to get in, we wouldn't have the other problems that we have (with people living here illegally)," he said.
Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.
2010: stop suspected illegals; 2012: that's a distraction
Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants, if he were elected.
Then, in December 2012, Walker said he no longer favored such a bill, telling reporters that such legislation would become a "huge distraction" from accomplishing his agenda for the state.
Today, Walker said he would support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants under some circumstances.

The Iowa causus is 10 months away, which is an eternity in politics. To even pretend to know who can and can’t win is dishonest. Heck, Michele Bachmann was in the lead 5 months from now last time. If Walker is the candidate that has the best chance to knock off Jeb Bush by the time we get to Virginia (if I even have a choice), I’ll vote for him, but as of now, I am rooting for and funding Ted Cruz... and I really couldn’t care less about either Sarah Palin or the libertarians. FWIW, I voted for Romney while holding my nose and I will not do the same if Jeb Bush is the nominee.

Good. He has the support of everyone I know.

The GOP-E is probably as right about who can’t win as they’ve been about who can win.

They said the same thing exactly about Reagan, giving the nod and support to Bush as I recall. In fact, I think Bush won New Hampshire.
Hey, Ted, like Reagan, will have to earn the support of these people if he wishes to be president. I don’t have a problem with that.

For those of us who watched him and others in the GOP, Walker is a KNOWN SELL OUT.
Walker will lose, and generate votes for the DemocRATS,
JUST TO TEACH THE "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" A LESSON !

Cruz cannot get the votes you think. Libertarians do not control this country. The only way to win is to vote for whoever gets the R nomination and if that is Cruz I will vote for him as opposed to a Dem. Sad as some libertarians will not vote if Cruz does not win the nomination.
