The only one of these three that may be orthodox enough for the GOP base is Walker. Perhaps this cycle will finally see open conflict between the GOP establishment and the GOP base.

As usual, the base will be splintered between numerous candidates, some of whom will be able to keep their campaigns deep into the primaries with the aid of billionaire patrons like Adelson and Friess. The real race for the nomination is between a handful of candidates for the support of the establishment. I learned this in 2012 when I didn’t think it possible that the architect of Romneycare could win the GOP nomination, but he did anyway. Charles called it perfectly when he said early on that the nomination was Romney’s.
