A conservative political organization originally formed to support Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential bid is asking Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to allow himself to be "drafted" as an alternative to Donald Trump.

"Governor Walker’s name is the only one being mentioned seriously as someone who can unite all factions of the Republican Party and we’re urging him to step forward and agree to accept a draft," said Courageous Conservatives PAC spokesman Steve Lonegan in a statement.

A Walker campaign spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The group is behind the "Free the GOP" effort that seeks to release Republican delegates from the candidates to which they are bound and allow them to "vote their conscience" at the Republican National Convention later this month.

Walker would help the Republican Party avoid the "likely November electoral disaster" that would come with Trump as the party's nominee, the group said.

“We do not support a Third Party candidacy under any circumstances,” Lonegan said. “We want to defeat Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump just isn’t going to do it. Scott Walker will.”

Walker said last month it's a "legitimate" suggestion that delegates should vote their conscience and has backed away slightly from his support from Trump as the nominee. At the same time, he has ramped up his criticism of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton while repeatedly shrugging off suggestions that he could be a "white knight" alternative to Trump.

On Tuesday, he told WKOW-TV it's a "reality" that Trump will be the party's nominee and confirmed that he will speak at the convention.

Walker ended his own presidential bid in September 2015, at the time calling for other candidates to join him in clearing the way for a positive alternative to Trump.

And yes, I'd do either of them.

It doesn't get much more local control than that. Think once before you mash away on your keyboard. Term limits would force more people into office.

So how are you going to mandate term limits nationwide? For every city council?

I am not mandating anything. I just mentioned I would like to see it. We need less career politicians and more of the people. We need someone currently living in public housing, a student, a suburban housewife, etc.

So Congress would be comprised mostly of rich people, or fairly old middle class retirees. Dumbfuck.

Congress would be comprised of people that actually accomplished something in life. I would put in a stipulation excluding trust fund asswhipes. And yes, it would be comprised largely of older people. You should appreciate that.
