The extremists of the TEA Party must stick together, and continue their attempts to destroy the American government. So it should not be a surprise to anyone that Wisconsin Governor, and presidential loser, Scott Walker, endorsed his party’s leader, Ted Cruz.

The Republican establishment is spending huge amounts of money and coercing every Wisconsin Republican to support Cruz. They are desperate, knowing that if the most hated Senator in Washington fails to win Wisconsin a week from today, Donald Trump is virtually guaranteed the party’s nomination.

“After all these years of the Obama-Clinton failures, it’s time we elect a strong new leader and I’ve chosen to endorse Ted Cruz,” Walker told Conservative radio host Charlie Sykes Tuesday. Really?

If he believes that Cruz could have led our nation out of a near depression, brought our soldiers back from two lost wars, and restored our nation’s respect around the world, he is literally out of his ‘tea-saturated mind.’

Cruz is a leader; the leader of negative action in Washington. His accomplishments for the American people do not exist. He took office in January of 2013, and immediately began his efforts to destroy our Democratic Republic.

Walker also tweeted the following:

“After the failed Obama-Clinton Admin, Americans want leadership. I endorse @TedCruz, a principled constitutional conservative who can win.”

Walker is obviously in denial about the real Cruz; he is not a conservative; he is a reactionary, an extremist and an obstructionist who would fracture the Republican Party and destroy what is left of our nation. No nation can survive under extremism. Our economy would fail; we would be involved in another unwinnable war; and the poverty level would rise to post-depression numbers. The wealthy would double their bloated profits in the first year, as income inequality resulted in our country becoming a third-world nation.

The biggest lie in Walker’s tweet is that Cruz supports the Constitution. He seeks to repeal parts of it in which he does not believe. He would repeal the first, 14^th, and 15^th Amendments, and continue the destruction of the fourth. But he would continue to support the NRA gun lobby and refuse any alteration of the second amendment. He would not represent me or you; he would work for the wealthy, the NRA, and the Christian religious right. Cruz has proven himself to be more Islamophobic than his adversary, Donald Trump.

So, how in the hell did the GOP get to this point, where their two worst offerings for the 2016 presidential race are fighting for the nomination? The answer is simple; an obstructionist leadership and its failure to perform the jobs for which they were elected.

They remain in denial that Trump’s success is a direct attack on the establishment. They have failed the American people for more than ten years.

The question remains; can they defeat Trump. He is standing alone against thousands of state and federal members of Republican mainstream supporters who will spend millions of dollars on a smear campaign to derail his nomination.

Will the Republican convention be a deliberative event, or a riot? If more than 50,000 Republicans who signed a petition to allow loaded guns on the floor have their way, it could become the “Massacre in Cleveland.”
