They each end up being mascots for some specific slice of the party. You have the Romney-type corporate plutocrats, the religious loons, the libertarian assholes, the plain old belligerent, jingoistic morons...

It's always fun to watch each attempt to reach out to the other asshole constituencies.

and he has the full weight of the Kochtopus behind him. I see Walker as the likely nominee, with someone even crazier and meaner than he is as the VP nominee: Cruz.
