Why do modern candidates always be the “next” somebody? Perhaps, just perhaps, he’s the FIRST Scott Walker? Huh?

Actually, I know more about Scott Walker than I do Calvin Coolidge.

I suppose Garland Tucker wrote this because he’s a Coolidge scholar and recognized similarities with Coolidge, Reagan and Walker.

But your point is well taken.

The story goes, a society dame was sitting next to Silent Cal at dinner, and said,

“I bet my friend Mrs. ___________ a thousand dollars I could get you to say more than two words!”

“You lose.”

I have to laugh each time I watch this 3 minute video of Julie's call to a liberal radio show - she can't understand how Walker got started in WI and why there are "STAND WITH WALKER" signs on lawns in poor neighborhoods. And some other mind bending "info" from the host....

No, Walker would let in, legalize, and give citizenship to so many Leftist Latin voters that he’d end forever any hope of smaller government would be forever gone.

Walker crushes opposition in another local straw poll - interesting poll and chart of results.

Is Scott Walker Unstoppable? - also about recent polling.

No. I would think that VP Cruz would stop him from doing that. Together with Senate Majority Leader Jeff Sessions.

You’re deluding yourself.

Congress pretty much always gives a president within its own party what he wants—which means whatever a president and his opposition both want always gets through.

Yeah, when the MSM, Dems, and GOPe all favor a faux “tea party/conservative” candidate, it’s not surprising for them to get the results they want in polls—and from useful idiot Freepers.

Wow thanks for posting that link. I had no idea that there were even left wing radio host on the air anywhere anymore. What a clueless guy, but he seems to fit in well with the caller.

If you think Walker is supported by the MSM, Dems and GOP-e, then you are not informed enough to debate with.

You are making a fool of yourself.

That story is about the only thing I know about Coolidge.

Actually, I would no mind having a president of few words. It would be a refreshing change from all that yapping from the narcissist-in-chief.

I’m not ill-informed. What do you disagree with? Sure, ultimately, the Dems and the MSM want their candidate to win. But first they want to neuter the conservative wing of the GOP.

And there’s no better way to do that than to have the supposed conservative alternative be a good GOPe property. Mr. Walker is Koch-backed, pro-amnesty, RNC chair-allied, GOPe property.

Why else do you think the media so anointed Walker out of CPAC?

Yes, the left loves Walker so much that they tried to recall him, smear him, his family, and imprison his supporters.

The MSM loves Walker and writes stories admiring his lack of an ivy league education.

Of course, you are probably going to claim this was all staged because they actually want Walker to win.

You are not ill informed. There is something wrong with you.

Coolidge cut government spending. Walker will not.
