This is really what Little Scotty Walker meant to say…
Carnival Cruz is no stranger to anti-government, anti-regulation Koch philosophy. After all, Teavangelicals elected him in Texass in 2012, while Teahadis elected Walker in 2010 with the same objectives in mind.
When Cruz loses, I’ll be so glad when Texass kicks his hoity-toity ass out of the Senate a couple of years later. He got 40% of the Hispanic vote to become a US Senator in 2012. If anyone believes he’ll get anywhere near that the next time around, now that the public knows what kind of anti-immigrant fuckwad he truly is, they’re most likely kidding themselves.
Sad. Wisconsin is tailor-made for Trump, with a shit-ton of disaffected Reagan Democrat types, weaponized by a black president and a drip feed of rightwing radio bile. Walker’s very much a kind of mini-me to Cruz – the nakedly ambitious angry nerd – so it makes sense for him personally, but politically, it’s idiotic. Alienate that base, you loser.
Well, now we know for certain that the Koch Machine is backing TED CRUZ with it’s billions of $$$$.
Snotty Walker, sock-puppet, would only endorse the candidate that his masters order him to endorse.
That may be it for Trump then. With the Koch Machine lumbering to life behind TED CRUZ (oh. your. god) and making the Koch Machine’s vast network of $$$ and people and organization available to Cruz (who, unlike Trump will know exactly how to use it) I would say that Ted Fucking Cruz will be the Republican Presidential Candidate come convention time.
It will be ugly, and Trump will throw epic hissy fits but the RNC will get behind Fascist Cruz in the best goose-stepping manner of the Party and unify with 95% of the Republican voters falling in lockstep behind Cruz. There will be a small group (less than 10%) of Republicans that will demand a 3rd Party run by Trump, but it will all be for naught.
This is very bad news for the Democrats.
You might be interested in this article that discusses the media’s near obsession with those Reagan Democrats by Heather Digby Parton. I found it quite enlightening, in that every Presidential election year the media resurrects the long-standing canard that this is something new that the media hasn’t been paying enough attention to. In fact, that’s all they’ve paid attention to for the last 50 years, to the exclusion of changing demographics all around them. And Republicans have been chasing the elusive white whale for at least that long if not longer. So its no surprise then that tRump has made this the central focus of his campaign…as have most other Republicans past and present.
Yeah but…Senators are elected state-wide. Not to mention, his anti-immigrant sentiments couldn’t be more high profile than in a Presidential campaign. Not easily forgotten either.
Follow the money. Walker would endorse Jeffery Dahmer (Wisconsin own serial killer) if Dahmer could ante up enough money to pay off Walker’s debts from his failed 2016 presidential run.
Cruz “has shown he is not afraid to take on the big government special interests,” like governing.
“He loves his country,” and he showed us some tough love when he orchestrated a government shutdown in 2013. But as a Senator he was limited to mere foreplay by his strong religious beliefs. Once he celebrates the rite of ascension to the presidency he will have the moral authority to consummate his love and truly fuck things up.
I don’t know Texass politics all that well but my guess is politicians that run for the Senate there play on Hispanics with the usual conservative wedge issues that play well with their social, cultural and religious mores, while tending to moderate their anti-immigrant sentiments until they manage to get into office as a federal office holder. Then all bets are off trying to appeal to that constituency until their next re-election bid comes around. Then all that anti-immigrant sentiment is put to bed again or disavowed with some ruthless ad campaign to indicate the opposite of their position on the subject. Sort of a white-wash, you could say. Wash, rinse, repeat…
What do you expect from a state where it is perfectly legal to drive down the road with an open bottle of Tequila in one hand and a loaded .357 in the other?
