Please see my profile page at bottom. Pegged him a long time ago.
Hillary? Jeb?
It seems that Walker has a real nice signature...
Walker’s been tagged by the GOP to replace Jeb.....I wouldn’t be so quick to give him a free pass since he’s playing in their ballpark now.....
And further his nose isn’t as clean as people that are supporting say...
CoC, GOPe plan B.
Cruz, probably. Naps is obsessed with him, and when he gets in one of his manic phases, all bets are off.
Me too, can spot them a million miles away.
Walker was on my maybe list until he took himself off. He was the source. I won’t bother you with the details. I can respect that you like him. I wanted to, but I don’t. I can appreciate some things about him. But I won’t vote for him.
I’ll leave the pro people with the rest of this thread. Have fun.
Legal immigrants and illegal immigrants are destroying America ,moving it to the left.
Only Ann Coulter and Scott Walker are talking about reducing legal as well as illegal immigration(Which is the solution to saving America.).
If we don’t reduce both legal and illegal immigration the leftists will have those that are for freedom outnumbered. They are reaching critical mass. 3rd world immigrants are leftists so are illegals.
Freedom is one inch away from going out forever. Democrats have been importing a million leftists every year from the 3rd world , making them legal citizens(legal immigration ) since 1970. This is why the USA has been moving to the left. Americans are for individual liberty , very small government. It’s 3rd world immigrants who don’t share our values and are leftists that are destroying the USA
If we don’t reduce immigration then the USA and freedom are done . no one can argue with that.
Which is a smear.
Let me give you my smear.....Cruz votes with the Chamber of Commerce on Iran and Free Trade while complaining about them. He also favors the US Chamber's view that we need more H1-B Visas.
Cruz is nothing more than a good speech-giving Obama in conservative clothes.
“CoC, GOPe plan B.”
Jeb Bush: Plan A
Marco Rubio: Plan B
Lindsey Graham: Attack Ted Cruz and Rand Paul
That is because Walker took the time to get informed and changed his position. He adopted Jeff Sessions' position that as long as we have massive unemployment (now 93 million) there is no need for legal or illegal immigration.
Walker also opposes an increase in H1-B visas. In fact, Walker called for a decrease...unlike Ted Cruz and his US Chamber call for a 500% increase in H1-Bs.
“His record of accomplishment dwarfs almost everyone in this race.”
Forget the almost, he trumps them all. He has basically slain the public workers unions in the state of their birth, Wisconsin. Not only did he survive the recall, but he was re-elected against a fairly good (it seemed to me) candidate, who was even A WOMAN, but who may have hurt herself by having an entire platform that consisted of “I’m not that SOB Scott Walker, plus I’m A WOMAN”.
He is a guy from the ordinary walk of life, but clearly he possesses both a clear concept of what NEEDS to be done and the ABILITY to GET IT DONE.
He is THE GUY.
Forget Donald Trump, I can’t even discuss him seriously and if I was not born and raised in NYC and quite sympatico with him in that way he’d probably make me want to throw up. It disturbs me very greatly that so many on our side are down with this guy, esp. in this cycle when there really are so many good, qualified candidates running.
Cruz talks a good game, in his dreadful nasal sounding voice, but he’s accomplished nothing, and he’s another “hey I got elected to the Senate, I should be POTUS now!”, as are Paul and Rubio. I like all three of these guys, I don’t think any of them have proven in any way that they should be the next president.
Walker, all the way, or, I agree with Lord Monckton, we are probably doomed.

(Breitbart)
Walker has refused to take a definitive position on the NSA’s mass data collection program in the past.

(Politico)
Over the course of his two terms, state spending has increased under Walker. Total expenditures have risen from $40.1 billion in 2010 to $44.9 billion in 2014. This represents a 12 percent increase overall, outpacing both population growth (.94 percent) and inflation (8 percent). ......(Ballotpedia, Ballotpedia)(Census.gov)(BLS.gov)

Absolutely not. he’s a amnesty “flip-flopping” twit ...
Scott Walker just doesn’t inspire the base, he’s a RINO...and dull. The enormous bald spot doesn’t help. He won’t be POTUS.
....”Walker is squishy on things”....
Which is why the GOP will replace Jeb with Walker....they know they can Manipulate him....and with CArly as the VO, which is what she is shooting for....they have the bases covered.
“The enormous bald spot doesn’t help.”
Well, if it’s all a beauty contest Barack Obama must be the greatest president ever.
Tall, thin, good looking, charming smile, wears his clothes like nobody’s business, best pants crease in a generation don’t you know! Just keep him in formal attire and away from sports wear and he just slays all comers.
FOUR MORE YEARS!
Watch the moves ....WAlker already spouted about Trumps right after the debate....you don’t think that he decided to do so all by his little ol’self do you?...Of course not!...he’s playing the hand of the GOP....just watch as they line him up with liberal Carly.
There’s no need to smear...watch the plays.
WAlker is plan B.....not sure he’s going to co-operate with the GOP for the long haul...he may “play” them for a time though....if he doesn’t co-operate then Rubio is the next move.
