This writer-pundit cleverly (as do uninformed and/or his opposition in the RNC and the DNC) puts Gov. Scott Walker in the GOP-e camp. The purpose of this piece (typical of other analysis being offered) is to divide the electorate of the non-Democratic Party camp (I don't know what to call that these days); you're in the "outsider camp" or the "establishment" Republican camp (Rush is pushing the same meme - you're "outside" or you're "establishment, donor class").

As a solid Scott Walker supporter, I do not see any candidate running for the nomination who represents or who speaks for me.

It's easy to see how someone can sit out an election.

And btw, I'm not Barb from Wisconsin. If I had been that caller to Rush yesterday I wouldn't have let him skate on the list of Trump positions that he and Hillary line up on - gun control, universal healthcare, imminent domain, higher taxes.....

As Scott Walker said, "Just because Trump says something, that doesn't make it true.

"Barbara" nailed it with this: ".. I want to know why, after all this time trying to get a real solid, proven conservative as president, would you ignore the real deal and help prop up a fake, phony conservative, that would be the Kardashian candidate, Donald Trump. And the real deal was Scott Walker."

Voting for someone because they excite the low-information voters holds no appeal for me. Voting for a liberal who knows how to push conservatives' buttons is political suicide.

Scott Walker’s exit from the White House race is disrupting the GOP contest, and many observers believe Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will be the biggest beneficiary.

Yeah, but adding 0% to 5% is still just 5%.

Everyone knows Cincinnatus' wife's name was Racilia.

“Voting for someone because they excite the low-information voters holds no appeal for me.”

And referring to everyone who doesn't support your candidate as a "low information voter" is ineffective and indicative of a weak mind.

Welcome back, CW. As a Patrick Buchanan, Alan Keyes, Rick Santorum supporter, I understand the pain of tilting at windmills and having the windmills win. But it’s better to aim for the stars and hit a stump than to aim for a stump and hit the ground.

As a Walker supporter, well former supporter now, I’m gonna vote most likely for Cruz. No way I’ll ever vote for Rubio. There words. Gang of Eight! To be honest I’m so disheartened by conservatives, especially the ones in DC, that I now know why so many are considering voting for Trump. It isn’t about ideology in this election next year. It’s about saving the country and frankly conservative politicians have been as complicit in our demise as a nation as their leftist colleagues have been.

Both Levin and Ingraham used subs in yesterday’s 9/22/ broadcasts. I suspect both got an earfull expressing the position made by “Barbara from Wisconsin” to Limbaugh about his, Mark’s, and Laura’s, exclusive supporting of Trump at the expence of true conservatives. Because as you expressed it, of their excitement of Trump’s ability to excite low information voters by pushing (two key) conservative buttons.

Trump has been walking back from his initial positions and has been getting away with it. For example when the issue of those so called Syrian “refugees” came into play. Trump called for (the) US to let them in. Walker issued a counter; “Let’s hold off we (US) have enough problems” position. Which got buried not unexpectedly by alphabet soup and but also by big CTR (conservative talk radio) .

When it began to unravel that most of these “refugees” were not Syrian, and “males of trgger finger pulling bomb making age. Trump suddenly takes Walker’s position. CTR headliners played Trumps position up and ignored Walker’s. Never even refering to it. Have they “Jumped the shark as no longer a reliable resource for information ?

Why ? Because they blindly saw any opposition to Trump, who has a near matching disapproval rating to Hillary’s, as eminating from the GOPES (Government over the people elite statists) running the Republican party .Thus unfortunately furthuring the campaign discourse based not on conservative principles but on personalities.

Now while you might expect the alphabet soup to push Trumps initial position which they did because it’s part of the regimes agenda. Let us see what they do now.

As for me the same applys to what emerges in who remains on the conservative side and it’s not Trump,Bush,Kasich,Graham,Carson ,Christy,Paul,Huckabee.

So this means Rubio will take Walker’s whole 1%?

That almost puts him in the lead.
