Lefties would absolutely hate a Cruz/Walker ticket :)

[–]BcTsarIvan [スコア非表示]  (3子コメント)

I love Scot Walker but I think he is exactly were he is needed right now in Wisconsin. Anyone could be a VP but not any Republican could win consecutive governorship in a blue state.

[–]GeneralELucky [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Wisconsinite here. I can confirm it's not a blue state. It's a "purple" state. How it swings in national elections is much different than the boots on the ground. Let's not forget, Walker was elected three times and over the nearly quarter century, the GOP controlled the Assembly minus two years.

[–]brainfreeze91 [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

From my experience living a short time in Wisconsin: Madison is the bluest city I've ever been to, but literally EVERYWHERE else is red, especially out in the farm and country. So "purple" would be an accurate description for the state as a whole.

[–]GeneralELucky [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Totally agree. Madison is a great city, but hardly represents the state as a whole. Five years ago, the unions bussed in protesters from Milwaukee and Chicago because those 100k weren't coming from Dane County.

Imagine 8 years of Cruz and then 8 years of Walker. We might actually right the ship. Progressive butthurt would be chart topping too.

They are supposed to move to Canada or something. Racist assholes won't move to Mexico....

[–]scandiumflightFree Trade FTW [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Racist assholes won't move to Mexico....

Not speaking Spanish is racist, apparently

[–]Dingus_Nooblet 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Canada is clearly in better shape than Mexico. It's not about race.

[–]BcTsarIvan [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

He was obviously being sarcastic

[–]Frankfusion [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

IDK, Mexico city hosts a lot of people from all over the world.

[–]Trussed_Up 6ポイント7ポイント  (6子コメント)

You want the end of all progressives? 8 years of Cruz, 8 years of Mike Lee, and Ben Shapiro has said on multiple occasions that he will be open to running for office eventually so how about 8 years of that?

[–]PvM_Magi 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

At this point, Shapiro is about the only person I'd want for the job more than Cruz.

[–]schuey13 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Shapiro for President please!

[–]ConserveGuy 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

Mike Lee for SCOTUS!

[–]GaroldWilsonSnailJrConstitutional Conservative [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Yes! Although I'd hate to lose his voice in the Senate, I'm sure the good people of Utah will elect someone nearly as good and it would be well worth it!

[–]ConserveGuy [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I personally know at least 2 potential candidates for Hatch's seat in 2018. If Lee leaves too, then it'll only be that much easier to elect them both

[–]SouthernCharm1856Tea Party 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Don't forget about Mr. Amash either. We've got a solid bench. It comes down to crafting the right message and motivating the base. People thought Reagan was great? A complicit Congress and a few of those guys at the helm and we could see some real progress.

Not to mention, the advancements that could be made by judicial appointments. It'd be so nice to see pro gun cases not get shot down on .fed court because of "feels"

[–]padronr 14ポイント15ポイント  (5子コメント)

As a (especially today) proud Wisconsinite I'd love this ticket. But I'm not opposed to Cruz/Rubio to help get his supporters and personality.

[–]JackBond1234 10ポイント11ポイント  (4子コメント)

Yeah, if Cruz could win Wisconsin on his own, I think Rubio would help make it up to Florida who really needed Cruz's and Rubio's votes together to win.

And of course all the other states where Rubio was a strong competitor alongside Cruz.

[–]padronr 11ポイント12ポイント  (3子コメント)

Unlike Trump, I know whoever Cruz chooses will be principled and committed to the cause. Trump could choose Honey Boo Boo, I have no goddamn clue.

[–]JackBond1234 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

If his campaign manager Katrina Pierson is any indication, we can pretty much rest assured that he'll choose someone strongly anti-conservative.

[–]Jice151 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

Pierson is his spokeswoman. Corey Lewandowski is his campaign manager. Neither are fantastic human beings.

[–]JackBond1234 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I'm pretty sure Pierson was his manager at least at one time.

[–]bam2_89 [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

So would a majority of registered voters.

[–]Luke137 4ポイント5ポイント  (13子コメント)

I don't think Cruz/Walker would be strong enough with women to beat Hillary. If Ted is smart he will pick Haley or Kasich.

[–]ScootusBuckeye 2ポイント3ポイント  (7子コメント)

Is Kasich supposed to pull in women? He did take action against Planned Parenthood in Ohio which earned him a decent amount of ire (at least among young women I know).

[–]GaroldWilsonSnailJrConstitutional Conservative [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I think he's just leveraging what delegates he hopes to acquire for a higher office. The man is literally hoping for a brokered convention so he can just be "appointed" the nominee yet he has the nerve to lecture the other candidates on their morality and the way they conduct themselves.

[–]PvM_Magi 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

He's supposed to pull in Ohio.

[–]ReasonEvidenceLogic 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think Cruz will win Ohio and Florida. What will be important is pulling in Virginia. Unfortunately, the last Republican Governor of Virginia is now in jail. He actually would've been a good candidate this year, had he not gone to jail, but that's unfortunate. Bill Boling could be a choice out of left field though or maybe even Eric Cantor

[–]Teive [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Had he not gone to jail, or had he not committed crimes?

[–]polynomialpusher -4ポイント-3ポイント  (1子コメント)

None of them can win a general unless Hillary gets indicted during the campaign. Which is probably what will end up happening.

[–]EugeneBYMCMB [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Comey is a republican. He knows what he needs to do.

[–]GruntledSymbiont [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

Polls show Hillary Has higher negatives with women than Trump or Cruz so don't assume gender is a plus for the Hildabeast.

[–]pcarenza [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

What poll would that be?

[–]GaroldWilsonSnailJrConstitutional Conservative [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

I think it's all about getting your own party and some independents to turn out. If the polls includes women who are solidly on the republican side, it doesn't really matter what they have to say because they aren't voting democrat no matter who the nominee is.

[–]LeBlight [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Wouldn't it be smarter to pick Rand to get the Libertarian vote?

[–]FuzzyYakz [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Still hoping for Rubio/Kasich.
