There is no political candidate who is going to have it all perfect coming right out of the gate. We might as well confess that this is as obvious as it is that the ocean is wet. Even Reagan did not do all policy right and such problems were masked perhaps more than was wise by his charm.
One who will listen like Walker (and I believe it will also prove true of Cruz) will gain in the contest.
What bothers me isn’t that he’ll listen. Hey, it’s great he’ll listen.
Illegal immigration has been raging since 2000. Until a few weeks ago, Scott Walker hadn’t listened at all. It took him fifteen freakin’ years to figure out that he needed to get with it on this issue, and formulate a policy that wouldn’t make him look like a horses ass when he ran.
NOW, he’s supposedly the best Conservative out there.
He had John McCain’s immigration policy a few months ago. He was willing to let them remain in place. He was willing to let them continue to work. Certainly he had to know that policy would see them transition.
Now he gets it.
Is this the the thick head of the new century awards? If so, I vote for Walker.
