‘Walker could be back!’

Here, take my screen name. I’m not using it at the moment.

Never say, "never"...

;)

And Walker leaves the stage spitting in Trump’s face & signaling that’s he’s ready to be of use to the GOPe.....my first negative post of this guy & my last cause he’s old news.

And in, well, fairness, when you say whine about being “fair”, kind of like how Trump does every time he feels someone isn’t treating him fairly?

I guess I’m just a stickler, but I’ll remind you that the voters have chosen NO ONE YET. In the early days of the polling we saw people “siding” with Trump but we also saw more people saying they absolutely would not vote for him under circumstance than we did, maybe for any other candidate if memory serves me correctly. He had more negatives than any other candidate as well.

Now granted, that’s started to turn around. Yet I noticed here that someone said they always tell pollsters they’re supporting Trump just to make the establishment mad, but when the time to vote comes, they’ll vote Cruz.

Yes that was one person, and only one person.

But the bottom line is we still don’t know how people will ACTUALLY VOTE. Because again, even here, I seem to see a lot of people saying, “I like what Trump is doing but I don’t know that I’ll vote for him.” And I’m also seeing, “I’ve supported Trump, but he’s starting to lose me a little.”

That being said, I don’t necessarily agree with Scott Walker’s “strategy”. And that’s as a guy who doesn’t really care for Trump.

But again, people say other candidates need to step up, and this is true. But I still maintain that it’s hard for them to get in a word edgewise, because the media is absolutely fixated on Trump. As a result, the country is absolutely fixated on Trump.

We’ll see what happens as we progress and get closer to, and then reach the point of voting in Iowa. People are seeing Cruz has an excellent ground game. I happen to think he does. We’ll know for sure then.

You really don’t need to insult my intelligence by assuming that I don’t know how elections work. As far as I’m concerned, Trump’s function in this primary is to motivate Cruz to man up and start fighting for real. He may have a “good ground game” except that in a media and Internet saturated culture, a ground game is only speaking to people who can take the time during the week to attend a rally. Iowans must have a lot of free time on their hands because they seem to spend a lot of time sitting in diners listening to politicians with perfectly rolled-up sleeves promising them stuff. The rest of the country, especially Republicans, does not have a lot of free time during the week for photo op politicking.
