I was about to hype up a Scott Walker 2016 run. Then I watched his victory speech.

Thanks for the link.
I’m with you. the writer is griping about nothing. Seems like a front runner for ‘16 to me.

it sucks being told you suck

Lol. By now, Walker has built up a solid immunity to being told this.

Cain was destroyed by fellow Republicans.

Carson may end up having the same thing happen.

But it’ll show where the GOP truly lies.

I’ve heard him speak. He has a long way to go. He obviously gets things done—his record as gov is superb. But he can’t talk his way out of a paper bag if there are mics and cameras.

The author comes across as a ‘concern troll

Yes, indeed.

I saw a bit of the Walker speech (Fox, IIRC) and it seemed fine to me.

For starters, all of these fine candidates are just bone tired, and they are motoring on reserve energy for victory speeches.

That is what I have been thinking, Walker would be a great Vice Pres.and a good counter balance for Cruz’ dynamism.

A LOT of people are that way, though. I am immediately dubious of people who can charismatically speak in front of large crowd. Most are either arrogant or sociopathic.

The writer let his liberal bias emerge and it turned into a hit piece. Probably just a little bitter after Tuesday’s spanking.

Part of the reason this country is going down the tubes is that the POTUS race, since Kennedy has been all about who is the better looking, more charismatic candidate.

Do you think his lack of a college degree will be a problem for a lot of people?

Impressions do have an impact.

Joni Ernst (Iowa) laughed/chuckled after nearly every sentence. It got to be irritating just to listen to her.

But, in a way, it is kind of refreshing to hear ‘regular’ people. The ‘dude’ from Harvard was not all that polished whenever the teleprompter didn’t work or he got off-script. If they are too polished, they come across as insurance or used car salesmen.

Look what happened in the last two presidential campaigns, when the MSM labeled the messiah a great orator.....we got stuck with the worst pres in American history.

No.

A lot of people in this country never went to college.

Only stuck up liberals would be bothered by someone’s lack of a higher education and they will never vote for Walker.

It doesn’t bother the people of Wisconsin. I don’t think the American people would care.
