"We like Scott Walker," Campos-Duffy, the wife of Wisconsin GOP Rep. Sean Duffy, told "The Steve Malzberg Show" in an interview. "The reforms are working and the tax bills are going down.
"So, it was not a smart move to come in on his part, attacking Scott Walker.
"Ted Cruz was really smart to obviously ingratiate himself to Scott and get his endorsement," she added. "Scott could have remained neutral. But he went in for Ted — and that gives him a few points.
"That's a better ground game, moving smartly through Wisconsin."
