“Most, if not all, polls are done by phone. Who answers their phone these days. I get about 25 calls per day that I do not pick up because the caller is unidentified.”

We’ve actually put the “ringtones” that you get when you reach a disconnected number on our answering machine. It doesn’t stop all the calls, but we think it’s cut down on the robocalls because the robodialer logs the call as a disconnected number. For our cell phones, we’ve created a “group” we call “a$$holes.” We don’t answer any number that doesn’t come up as one that’s on our address book. Then we go in and create a contact for each of the numbers after the fact, and call it “a$$hoie.” So the next time they call, it comes up as “a$$hole” and we know not to answer it. Oh, and the “do not call list” is simply BS. President Trump will need to overhaul the whole area of telecommunications laws and start really enforcing “do not call” including fining AT&T big time for giving foreign businesses DID lines into the US that facilitates all this telemarketing. AT&T sells these lines, then they sell their consumers “blocking features” to block the line they’ve just sold. If you want to see a $hit company, you need look no further than AT&T!

With you on that.

Walker did piqué my interest more so because of his conservative accomplishments in Wisconsin. BUT, maybe he was just a low key guy, he just did not seem to have that fire in the belly necessary to gain nationally.

The article infers “Big Donors” with Walker might go to Rubberio. What Big Donors? If Walker had Big Donors to will to someone else he would still be running.

Walker’s Super PAC has $20 million in big donor soft money in the bank. That’s a lot of simoleons. It’s the campaign that was broke.

Which is it, he has $20 mil to deal or his campaign is dead broke?

The Walker campaign is broke. The “independent” Super PAC has $20 mil in donations from fat cats. Funds can’t be mingled between them.

I’m with you. Trump is, in many ways, the anti-Obama...

TRUMP/CRUZ

If go re-read #82, you’ll see that you actually agree with my contention.

I was sorry to see Walker drop out, but a candidate just has to make a better showing. It was NOT just his campaign being broke. His campaign was broke because he just couldn’t catch the voter’s attention.

Scott Walker would make a good VP.
