Yes, what they really mean is that he isn’t GOPe approved.
Couldn’t care less about the power brokers.
But Walker has to get clear about his ILLEGAL immigration policy.
No pathway, no citizenship, no voting, no bennies, no tax exemptions, no fricking anchor babies.
Or no Walker.
And 2000 they won by the skin of their teeth.
Theres a pervasive feeling that Walker erred by refusing to distance himself from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, after Giuliani said at an event Walker was also attending that President Barack Obama does not love America. He also wouldnt say whether he believes Obama is a Christian.
We also need to change the laws to forbid welfare payments to illegals and forbid enrollment of illegal children in public schools.
Apparently the people saying these things have not learned the most important lesson of the 2014 election.
The biggest mistake that Romney made in 2014 was not to attack Obama for his obvious failings. First of which, and most obvious is that he does not love the country he leads. The man attacks his own country every time he visits some third world dictator.
As far as being a Christian, I will cut Walker some slack on that, Obama claims to be a Christian. There is no evidence to prove that to be true. The man and his family have not been to church since he took office with the possible exception of when an Imam was there.
By the term “ready,” the GOPe mandarins mean that Governor Scott Walker has not yet been assimilated into their Dem-lite/Uniparty Borg.
When the media quotes "anonymous" sources it means they have no source, they are giving you their own opinion as news.
Anything the media reports as news can be dismissed out of hand as biased propaganda.
Well, Charlie Crist was groomed to replace him. That tells us volumes.
These are the same folks who gave us the Bob Dole candidacy.
You are exactly correct ..!!!!!
I want a WARRIOR .. that’s a person who loves America and will do whatever it takes to protect the country and her people. The best example I have is Benjamin Netanyahu.
Yes, I see Ted Cruz in the same light as Walker. They each have a different style .. but they fundamentally have the same perspective on the issues of the day. If they team up, we could have 16 years of sound, logical, changes to our laws, which would give America a new breath of fresh air, and a new path to being the leader of the world AGAIN.
Were a little less than a year out from the first primaries, more than a year and a half out from the general election.
So there’s plenty of time for Walker to develop his ability to respond to questions and attacks. Thats part of what primaries are for, for the candidates to prove that they’re ready for prime time through the demonstration of real world campaign expertise.
Attempts to dismiss Walker at this point are just political preemptive strikes to knock him out of the race as early as possible. But they’re also excellent opprtunities for him to build experience and prove himself.
“He also wouldnt say whether he believes Obama is a Christian.”
There’s only one reason to ask a stupid question like that and it has nothing to do with anything trying to do damage to the person it’s asked to. IMO Gov. Walker answered it perfectly.
If this is the best they can throw at Walker, it shows they are straining. Walker has had everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him in previous elections and nothing seems to have stuck.
Sounds like a page from the Hillary playbook when she lost to Obozo. Unless Ted Cruz gets into this race, we had better not be letting these nice folks guide us to another progressive.
I think Walker has been clear on immigration. He says he wants to make it easier for immigrants to enter the country legally. This sounds to me like he wants to take what is currently illegal (but unenforced) and make it legal. No illegality, no problem, right? I'd as soon live with Obama's amnesty decree.
The Limousine wing of the Republican party wants people who "go along to get along." They don't want stands on principles, they just want to keep the boat from rocking.
Yes, I would like to know this too. What are the criteria for determining if a candidate is “ready” for prime time?
If these liberal media types applied these criteria to Senator Obama in 2007 and 2008, there’s no way he would have been ready for prime time. Yet here they pushed his candidacy. So what exactly are the criteria???
Obama had been a senator for two years, after having been a state senator in Illinois. He was ready for prime time based on that experience. Walker has been elected three times in four years to an executive position, and fought bruising battles in Wisconsin. So yes, let’s discuss what the criteria are for determining whether someone is a realistic candidate for high office.
Walker and Cruz might be a pretty good ticket, though i'm not sure if they could come to an agreement as to which one gets to be President.
