Nice to have someone who isn’t an Ivy Leaguer. Cruz is the only acceptable one in that category.

We could do a hell of a lot worse and ever since Ronald Reagan left the white house on January 20, 1989, we have.

Walker/Cruz or Cruz/Walker. Either one is fine with me.

Walker is a Rubio clone. He’ll say things while he’s campaigning that he’ll “grow” on as soon as he takes office.

Walker has some significant baggage that will certainly prevent his election if not his nomination.

First, he is tied in very tightly with the GOPe (Priebus, Ryan, and Rove). The GOP has a terrible image among voters (much worse than Hillary and the Democrats). Walker’s association with the GOP will come back to haunt him.

Second, Walker’s Wisconsin record is tarnishing. Wisconsin ranks 35th in job creation since 2011. He is not terribly popular in his state (unlike Ted Cruz in Texas). Walker has been a very controversial governor, and he is even unlikely to win his own state against Hillary! It is usually a given in strategic electoral politics that a candidate will win her/his own state. Starting behind the eight ball in one’s own state is stupid.

Third, Walker has stumbled whenever he has spoken extemporaneously on topics he is not familiar with - monetary policy and foreign policy to name a couple.

Fourth, Walker has been absent on the great issues of the day for conservatives. He was silent when Ted Cruz was fighting Obamacare, he is squishy (at best) on amnesty, and he is not vigorously fighting homosexual marriage.

Walker is not going to generate the necessary enthusiasm among disaffected conservatives to defeat Hillary.

Three Reasons Scott Walker Is Still The Likely Nominee

Still the likely nominee? Walker has never been the "likely nominee". Just one of several candidates who have a good shot at it.

Another positive on Walker is that he’s recently begun to question legal immigration. Walker ought to build on that, call for an immigration shutdown and appeal to blue collar voters, such as those in his part of the country who sat out the last election.

Socially, Obama has undermined the bedrock of our culture. Americans worked hard to make their country the greatest multicultural society since ancient Rome, largely by getting better at ignoring skin color and gender and instead judging people by the content of their character. But this president, who was supposed to usher in a “post-racial” America, has instigated the most racially obsessed period in decades. Thinly evidenced accusations that racism and sexism pervade our society have become an addictive weapon for liberals.

Obama's pitted the races against each other... it'll never go back to where it was... In the long run it might be a good for the country. Forced politeness isn't all it's cracked up to be.
