And once more, I take this as evidence that Walker knows what he is doing. This is why he wins. He focuses on priorities.
Maybe but he just got marked off my list. He has been hanging out at the bottom of the list anyway.
It is not necessary to say some issues are more important than others amongst very important issues. If he were to say “Who hosts the soccer games is not important” then okay. But he is saying extremely important issues should not be focused on.
I know all I need to know about him. I am not alone. But hey, you never know. It worked so well for McCain and Romney.
Yep, focus on the battles you can win easily before you take on the tough ones.
Yep. The Culture War is over, and we got routed. Better to focus on areas that are still winnable.
Exactly. He’s very good at picking his battles, and in not going for every “when did you quit beating your wife” question the media throws out, knowing there is nothing to be gained from playing their game.
Besides, many social issues are based on faith or personal values anyway, and any politician is unlikely to be able to change anyone’s faith or values, so why try? Instead, stick to those things like economics that an elected official can impact, and let the voters decide if you’re the right man for the job.
All politics IS LOCAL and is based on economics.. Iraq/Iran /Saudi suburbia etc are a long way away. Important sure. But not as important as a job or a full dinner table.
The only problem with that is this: economics are effected by social issues. If there’s any good reason to be a monopoly in America, it’s being a monopoly because anyone who disagrees with a given social issue doesn’t deserve to have a business. End of discussion.
