“I guess he has to reconcile, did he have his fingers crossed or not?”
“What I found this last time is…it makes it hard to be the candidate you need to be to win if you’re still in office as governor”, Walker said.
Walker was apparently referring to the line, “vote your conscience” in November.
Vos said both he and his constituents want to hear more specifics from Trump, and that’s something he expects will happen this week.
“Somebody told me in September, I could wait 20 years and I’d still be younger than Hillary” Clinton, he said.

This Scott Walker was near the computer before and during Trump’s misguided endorsement hit the internet. “I think it’s clearly true”. “And yet those people all managed to understand that this is about country and not about them”. “The hopefulness is guarded because of the unfiltered comments Trump makes”.
“Hillary Clinton is such a awful candidate … it makes it very easy to unify behind the need to defeat her”, said 3rd District GOP chairman Brian Westrate.
“Have a great party at the convention and we’ll see you back in Iowa”, Walker said at the end of his remarks.
The lawmaker said “a shocking number of our candidates” interpret the Constitution that way.
