What Rudy Giuliani did this week was stupid.
What Scott Walker did ought to disqualify him as a serious presidential contender......
And Walker, just a few seats away, said . . . nothing. Asked the next morning on CNBC about Giuliani’s words, the presidential aspirant was spineless: “The mayor can speak for himself. I’m not going to comment on what the President thinks or not. He can speak for himself as well. I’ll tell you, I love America. There are plenty of people, Democrat, Republican, independent, and in between who love this country.”
But did he agree with Giuliani? “I’m in New York,” Walker demurred. “I’m used to people saying things that are aggressive out there.”...

Exactly.
Its ok to let someone elses statements standon their ownmerit.
Milbank is acting like a washing machine in a full tilt, walking across the room unbalanced spin mode!
...and without a college 'degree'. How is that possible?
GFY Dana you creepy little troll.
Wow-the press really is afraid of Walker. LOL!
This frenzy ought to tell the GOP something, but it won’t. They’re all using McCain as an example of someone who magnanimously snatched the mic away from one of his supports saying, “he’s a good man.” That was in 2008, just before McCain lost the presidential election.
Why should Milbank even argue Obama whether he hates America, they both do. That is what Milbank likes about Obama.
Pray America is waking
Walker knows how to pick his battles
You mean the same Party that cheered for Suddamn Hussain and Al Queda? You mean those America haters?
If he goes all conservative, the GOP will drop him. The only reason he’s still around is the GOP has to make it look legit. Jeb WILL be the nominee.
The media’s breathless indignation should reveal the chink in their armor. The GOP is too tone deaf to notice.
“Punting” on gotcha questions is like refusing to put on the funny hat in front of the photographers.
Just refusing to give them ammunition.
I know, huh? It's like someone saying, "I love this Chevrolet, but it needs a few adjustments. Let's take it down to the car-crusher, get $50 for it, then borrow $49,950 from our kids, buy another Chevrolet ("I love this Chevrolet"), borrow another $8 billion from our grandkids and give it to the union bosses. Now -- how can you say I don't love Chevrolet (which rhymes with USA)?
THE DUDE'S NUDE!
...and then there was that time Scott Walker sat in the pew while his preacher scream-prayed for God to damn America.
Serious Presidential candidates remain serene above the fray while surrogates do the wet work.
I'm going to respectfully disagree with you here, at least in regard to the two topics you mentioned. There is absolutely no reason for Walker or any other candidate to allow themselves to get pulled into these traps by the media. What Walker thinks about evolution (does he believe in creationism, Darwinism, Intelligent Design) or his opinion on what Giuliani said about Obama has absolutely no bearing on what kind of president he would be, and to engage in those conversations is just to allow the press to find something to beat him up with.
Walker is not my first choice, and I would need to find out a lot more about his positions on issues that would actually be affected by him being president before supporting him. But there are definitely things to like about him, and his wisdom in dealing with the press is one of them.
Walker should have followed up Rudy’s comments with:
“The mulatto muslim marxist is not a loyal American. I do question his patriotism. We judge a person by their actions, and the actions of the pResident are not those of a loyal American and or a patriot. He consistently chooses illegal invaders over citizens, islam over christainity, and himself over all else.”
That this imposter hasn’t been chased from the White Hut and shot for treason is mind boggling.
