Walker doesn’t make enemies unnecessarily, he earns them. He also likes to pick his battles. He allows himself to mature on issues (common core, ethanol), but by the right people and in the right direction, and that won’t change after the election.
No Jeb, no way.
Forget Reagan — Could Scott Walker Be the Next Calvin Coolidge?
Think about this and then when you've figured it out, you won't have to wonder why he keeps beating the Left.
His mother Jewish?
My guess is the swarm was placed there and nurtured by someone who feared Cruz getting more popular because of his many strengths.
We have some very good candidates who are fairly conservative, Cruz being the best IMHO.
Did you think whoever placed last weeks swarm is going to stop with Cruz? The familiarity of this pattern is frightening. Let's go after each conservative and somewhat conservative candidate one at a time until a certain candidate (whose name shall not be mentioned) has an opportunity to win.
In the mean time, the hildabeast has zero connection with this swarm, they don't really want to run agains the Bush family, and the Paul groupies are running wild (of which Ace is a fringe member).
Think man. It's one at a time. And we here can all help by voluntarily joining the swarming purist circular firing squad that has become such a wonderful feature of FR.......
Principled mindless see the band wagon passing and climb on lest they be mistaken for non purist
Many don’t shop at walmart for fear of being seen
some seem to think free trade is the only thing important.
I agree with this premise. I am not excited about Walker at all.
Cruz for me. If picking a governor it would be Sarah Palin who had and has real values she sticks to. Needs no one to bump her into the right view to appeal to conservatives.
Funny,
Hasn’t he “evolved” on immigration too?
Nobody is blasting him on his support of TPP. Why is that?
I guess his support of the Patriot Act is good for you too?
A swarm?
Jeff sessions’ warnings are part of a swarm? Mark Levin?
Silly
From my previous posting:
“
In order to win leadership in Wisconsin, Walker needed to begin the process of educating the voting public on issues that needed attention. He knew that if he took on that task during the election, that he would loose the election, and never get a chance to reform. So instead, he positioned himself as a person in a learning process on these issues (even though he had very developed positions, based on his experience).
This “questioning” approach caused a lot of Wisconsinites to ask questions too, and be open to arguments, instead of hanging on the bumper-sticker responses they had been fed for years.
Questions like “why are our government bodies providing accounting and banking services for public unions” in the form of union dues deductions?
“Why are municipalities forced, via public employee contracts, to purchase health insurance from a union-formed company”, that are charging exorbitant rates?
“Why is state university tuition increasing, while these same schools are accumulating huge cash pools that are being buried in the university budgets?”
Walker’s political style is to plant questions in the minds of voters, not to tell them what they want. These questions cause the voters to come to the conclusions themselves.
Walker has raised issue awareness, and in turn, brought voters to his position on those issues. He wants the voter to make it their idea, an idea they can now explain and support.
Bottom line: Walker knows you win leadership roles by educating voters. He plays the humble role of teacher.”
Thanks...
The anti-Ted swarm has been active even before he declared. GOPe elements fed opposition research to the news media during his Obamacare fight. Anti-Ted zealots populate the internet in abundance, even posting comments here at FR!
Unlike Progressives and Democrats, who actually fight on behalf of their constituents, the GOPe fights AGAINST the interests of its nominal constituents - True Conservatives, Evangelicals, and Tea Partiers - and fights FOR big Corporate interests and the Country Club set. All the while, the GOPe will masquerade as supporting conservatism.
The GOPe is perfectly content with their abundance of clown candidates in the race, as long as Ted is defeated.
Nobody can take this guy serious and he should be out as soon as he is in the race. He can’t even handle his personal finances and is in debt up to his eyebrows. Anybody that would want him to handle America’s money needs his head examined.
“He may wind up getting in trouble not because of who he is but who we think and want him to be isn’t bad, just not what we were expecting.”
I am sure the author had a meaning in mind when he wrote this sentence but after reading it ten times I am still uncertain what it was supposed to mean.
Thank you, that’s a brilliant perspective. I had noticed a difference in the way he took on these issues but I never thought out his process into steps like that. It does make sense and it explains how he has had such great success when other very good conservatives failed to gain traction on the same problems.
Yep, I agree. This all stinks to high heaven.
Cruz and Walker are the best candidates BY A MILE.
The rest are complete JOKES or RINOs or both.
Terry Branstad tried something like that in Iowa back in the mid-1980’s and was slapped down like an errant toddler.
No, Walker is not the Greatest Living Human Being.
Walker has many flaws.
He supports free trade, but supports the TPA, which, in my view, is unconstitutional.
Walker supported the Patriot Act.
Both of those positions were the “mainstream” GOP position.
When it came time to lead, Walker never just accepted the mainstream position. He asked questions and analyzed issues.
One only has to look at his long list of accomplishments outside of unions in Wisconsin.
Every action Walker has taken as governor has been solidly conservative. He did that with a mostly purple, GOP-e legislature.
On immigration, Walker ended sanctuary cities and ended in-state tuition for illegals. Walker ended Common Core in Wisconsin by leaving the decision up to local districts.
