Walker: I'll support Trump if he's the GOP nominee
POLITICO ^ | April 20, 2016 | Nick Gass

Posted on 04/20/2016 10:18:20 AM PDT by Trump20162020

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker now vows to support whoever the Republican Party puts forward as its nominee at July's convention in Cleveland, even if that person is Donald Trump.

"I will support the Republican running against (Democratic front-runner) Hillary Clinton in the fall -- whoever that is," Walker told reporters Wednesday, according to a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Nobody’s unifying around Trump. And if Cruz were leading, Trump supporters on here have already admitted they’d vote Democrat. They still will if Cruz wins at the convention. The party’s divided no matter who wins.

The delusion is so strong with your post, that I don't even know where to begin.

Sounds like you need a fresh tube of bumhurt ointment.

And so it begins for Trump. The GOP, seeing the writing on the wall and not wanting to lose out, start to fall in line behind the perceived winner

Walker was my first choice, before Trump even entered the fray. BUT Walker was/is so entangled in the WI GOPe, he was NOT ready for a national campaign... Walker would be wise to cut all ties to lying Ryan and Romney's ‘prince’.

What part of it’s delusional? Where’s this unification? I’ll wait.

I did not see anyone supported democrats on here

I am a Trump supporter and I have states if Cruz won the primaries and goes to the convention as the nominee, I would support him in the fall. I have no problem with that.

If Donald does it, of course I will vote for Donald in the fall

Cruzers are the ones on here stating they are voting Hillary if Donald is on the fall ballot. Or they will stay home.

However if Donald is the leader going into the convention and he is not the nominee, I am done with the party. I have no reason to stay because our votes don’t matter to them. And plenty of Trump and even honest Cruz supporters have made this statement.

Walker had almost ZERO support from the GOPe in Wisconsin when he ran against the Liberal machine 3 times. So try again.

If Cruz hints at Walker for VP while Trump hints at Kasich before the convention, or sooner, then the race comes becomes alive.

The emotionally-invested Cruz supporters will have to go through the 7 stages of grief.
  1. SHOCK & DENIAL-

    You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
  2. PAIN & GUILT-

    As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.

    You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.

  3. ANGER & BARGAINING-

    Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.

    You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")

  4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-

    Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.

    During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.

  5. THE UPWARD TURN-

    As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
  6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-

    As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
  7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-

    During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.

    You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.

He’s a GOPe establishment piece of s***. He and his buddies did everything to sink Trump in Wisconsin, and at the convention, if Trump is not at 1237, Walker the Rat, and his cheap labor buddies, will do everything to stop Trump. This, “I’ll support him If he is the candidate’, is camouflage.

” ... if Donald is the leader going into the convention and he is not the nominee, I am done with the party.”

There is a difference between a plurality and a majority.

If Trump has less than 1237 before the convention, then he needs to brush off his Art of the Deal book, and find a way to get the first-ballot votes he needs. After the first ballot, however, all bets are off.

“If Cruz hints at Walker for VP while Trump hints at Kasich before the convention, or sooner, then the race comes becomes alive.”

I’ve been thinking the same thing. If neither Trump nor Cruz has 1237 before the convention, each needs to cut a deal to try to get over the top on the first ballot. After that first ballot, all bets are off.

that’s the only reason Rience has his current job

I don't think outsiders understand that. Rience was part of the team that totally destroyed the left in Wisconsin. Before Walker, what did we have? "Diamond" Doyle, etc.

And while I would love to move the scale even more to the right, we went from far-left to medium-right in a few years. Rience was a big part of that. Not perfect, but a whole lot better than it was.

Meanwhile, look at what's been done at the national level. Same thing. Strong move to the right. Not as far as we would like, but moving in the correct direction.

Have to say I do not understand the extreme hate he get here. Must be a purity thing.
