I like Walker, but how many of those has he won against Washington Democrats? Just sayin...
And I’d add this, Cruz has much more appeal than just evangelicals, anti Obama Care folks and defense hawks. He’s big in the liberty community (tho not as big as Paul in that universe) and he’s big in the small business community - his leadership PAC, started years ago, is called “Jobs Growth and Opportunity PAC.”
You’re well aware of the national forces, from the national media to Trumka to capital hill leaders, who funded and fueled the armies Scott Walker fought and defeated.
