I thought I was ready to support Walker, was a bit elated, in fact, when he did so well in those polls, but I had not heard the clips Mr. Levin played last night. Walker can't do it. I knew he had been ambivalent on immigration, but so had Reagan been ambivalent- even pro- abortion until he began his run for the White House. Then he determined that the people who are the backbone of the country were against abortion and it was not something that could reasonably inferred from the Constitution so he changed his position forthrightly. He was clear that he politically and Constitutionally opposed mandating legalization. He kept his word as Reagan was wont to do. That clip of Walker showed him to be mnealy mouthed and should he do a conversion a la Reagan I am not sure I could believe him. The Presidency is immensely more powerful now than it was 15 years ago. It is too tempting for a Walker to get the job then just impose things like that by fiat. It can be done now. We have to have another Reagan or there is no hope in the government as it now functions. We are past the Republic phase. Now we have to pray for a Wise and Benevolent King. Now we have to support the Convention of the States. That, I fear will be no more successful than anything else at restoring the Republic simply because I don't believe the Federal Government will allow it to occur. However, If the requirements are met and the Convention is called it will provoke a true crisis, an existential one. If there are no Men left in the country then the takeover will be complete and the government will perhaps even remake the Constitution to suit the government a la Venezuela. The Constitution will become a meaningless thing revised by the Bureaucracy from time to time to suit its immediate needs.
If there are sufficient men then the natural leaders will come forth at the moment the Government moves against the States and we will have that CW2.

Are you aware that President Reagan supported, and signed an Amnesty bill that allowed all illegal immigrants in the country to become citizens?
