Once again, I don't get it.
Here are some dopey cliches not to use in your answers:
He “didn’t resonate”. He “wasn’t ready for prime time”. He “failed to gain traction”. He was “a wallflower in the debates”.
Stop it. I can talk like a Chuck Todd too, but what good would that do anyone?
You want to not only win the presidency, but you want to elect someone who is not only conservative but has proven he can achieve difficult conservative goals even in a very hostile environment - right?
He did not do well and had to drop out?
It was all him though.
flip flop on immigration
Walker was like Rubio, Fiorina, Kasich, Graham...the rest of the useless GOPe...pro-amnesty. Illegal alien invasion is the issue in 2016....Cruz and Trump are the strongest on that issue.
Scott who? lol
Others were saying what we wanted to hear. Others were being the kind of leader we are wanting. He was just not strong enough. He spread the jam too thin trying to please too many people. It’s put up or shut up time for many of us.
Because he allowed GOPe handlers detour him from being himself.
He came off sounding like a pleasant talking politician, willing to sell out the US, rather than have liberals in the media dislike him.
Wrong on immigration. Wanted to consult France and Germany about the Iranian Bomb before nixing the deal.
He’s a young guy. If he continues to fix Wisconsin, he’ll figure it out and come back.
Seriously - it’s not rocket science what Trump is doing - he can do and say what he knows the people want because he doesn’t have to pander to the last guy who wrote him a check.
For all the people who complain about Trump, all he represents is walking/talking evidence that the system of government we currently have doesn’t work.
Hmmm.. I'd ask the public sector unions and their dem sponsors in WI if Walker is bold. I'd say they'd agree. They guy took many political risks in that state and won precisely because of that boldness.
This was more about voters wanting noisy, shiny objects this time around.
Telegenics he does not compare favorably to his competition on a visual level.
He was trying to sneak his Koch brother’s amnesty plan by us- that’s why.
He had both strength and boldness in his state. but he was not bold on the national scene. And he was ignored.
I understand he had bad advice also.
Based on his record, Walker is the candidate who I most trusted to do what he said he was going to do. When assigning blame for his campaign failures, Scott Walker needs to look in the mirror.
Why?...Cruz and Trump...that’s why.
Yup. Bad advisors, listened to the wrong people.
Bottom line, as a conservative, you can't win by running to the middle. You'll pi$$ off your conservative base, and liberals won't vote for you anyway.
You're the blog pimp. Why don't you know?
His stage presence did him in and he ran out of cash
The rest of these also rans are still in to polish their star
What’s more important to you
Pimp your candidate or bash Freepers cause most disagree with you
The guy generated about as much excitement as a flea circus. No college degree and he thinks he can be President. Ambiguous stances on immigration. Called on all Congressmen and Senators to vote for TPA. The guy literally screamed establishment mediocrity.
