Columnist and author of “Adios, America,” Ann Coulter heavily praised Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s (R) immigration position and said she would be supporting him on Tuesday’s “America with Jorge Ramos” on Fusion.
Coulter said that while none of the GOP presidential candidates have her exact position on immigration, she stated, “What’s interesting now is Scott Walker’s the first one of the announced candidates to come out and say he wants to protect American jobs and American livelihoods, and it’s as if, until this moment, all the Republican candidates have agreed, ‘OK, none of us will take steroids,’ now that he’s said it, that screws all of the rest of them. And I think he’ll be the candidate unless my luck with Romney –.”

Yea, Ann is the loser that just last week was on the radio pimping the Progressive Romney.
The woman has either lost her mind or her principles or both.
Very true. We can’t surrender but it will be an uphill fight. The Republicans are flat out cowards and the Dems are simply power hungry not giving a damn about the country. In all honesty we’re screwed unless we find and elect leaders who are in the mold of the Founding Fathers, and will put country before party and special interests. I seriously doubt it.
There is one sure thing you can count on with Ann, she always has and always will support losers, the evidence is overwhelming.
CRUZ 2016!
That's the money quote.
Whomever is the further to right on immigration during the debates will most certainly win the nomination.
I declare that to be an indisputable fact.
Walker says he’ll put the military on the borders to stop the flood of illegals. That works for me.
Romney would have been infinitely better than what we have now.
I saw her a couple of weeks ago saying that she expects / wants Mitt Romney again but will accept Walker as the best alternative. Seriously. Credibility....lost.
Coulter and Maher could care less about politics accept it makes them rich.
Coulter is a fraud and a liar. At least she supported Chris Christy for POTUS.
How very conservative of her.
Gosh, I said the same here about 3 weeks ago, so I guess I’m in good company.

Just curious, just how does Coulter get conservatives hard earned income...?
As far as I know writers such as Coulter, endorsing certain candidates isn't a paid position.....
Any candidate who runs on isolation is committing political suicide.
We have a legal immigration system, not a legal illegal immigration system.
And if you give a hoot so much about that issue you would be hammering Walker
to come out and say where he stands, exactly, and without political double speak.
>>He (Wallker) does actually live in a border state<<
Actually, no. Wisconsin at no point borders Canada. Some Packer fans do consider Minnesota foreign territory, however.
The rest are either all-in for Amnesty like Bush and Rubio -- or like Ted Cruz, they're OK with massively increasing third world alien workers - so long as they're "legal" under some "temporary" alien-worker scheme.
By acting/writing conservative just to sell books.
>>But how to get through the primaries, when they have to squeak by the rubes known as the GOP base/tea party?<<
I was intending to take you seriously and address your points until I read the above portion of your post. Have a nice day.
At the debates, I expect Walker’s pro-American position on immigration to set him apart from Cruz and the other squishes.
That is one of the main problems with the right...They can't think for themselves...
I've never bought a conservative writers book, I actually can think for myself...
I'm sure that scares the crap out of them...
Does that mean you’ll be voting for Hillary?
Americans made it clear in 2014 what we wanted but the GOP is ignoring that mandate.
There's no other party to support for hard working Americans who believe
in America and our founding documents.
Right now just about any Conservative can win against the Rat machine which is
why we're witnessing the field fill up. But there are also RINOs in that mix
who didn't get the Conservative meme from Americans.
>>I don’t trust any GOP candidate on this issue, including Walker, but Walker is at least saying the right things.<<
Once Walker makes up his mind about something he tends to take a position on it and stick with it, plus he’s a very astute politician (and I mean that in a good way—he figures out what can, and can’t, be accomplished at any particular time.)
His immigration position was a stroke of brilliance. No one else on the Right had the stones to say that legal immigration should be tied to its effect on American wages and job availability. As soon as he did that, he refocussed the entire immigration debate. Obviously you have to control illegal immigration if you’re going to control legal immigration, plus he’s right: the influence on American wages and job availability should be a priority consideration.
And with that approach he will make inroads into a traditional Democrat stronghold, i.e., union members, because they absolutely hate the massive influx of illegals they have to compete against. Similarly, his strong approval of vouchers, and his willingness to advance them in Wisconsin, will give him an inroad to center-city black populations, many of them frustrated with the Democrats outright rejection of vouchers due to the demands of the teachers’ unions.
Where Walker concerns me most is his tendency toward crony capitalism. He’s undergoing some serious scrutiny in Wisconsin right now because of his ill-considered advocacy of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation created when he became governor (even making himself its board chairman). I’m very much hoping that his sad experience with that foray into what I consider crony capitalism has taught him a lesson and that, instead of defending it, he uses it as a learning experience instead. Someone in the GOP needs to bring this country back to first principles, one of them being providing a level playing field for all, instead of easier access for the politically favored.
By the way, I think the Koch brothers would be fine with that. They will easily compete on a level playing field.
