If Nixon wasn’t the One, why would Walker be?
For all you Walker-ites out there that think you can bully Conservatives and who think they can win with a candidate who won’t precisely define where he is on illegals, amnesty and legalization of same.
From my POV he has a very lot going for him. His incomprehensible explanations thus far on illegals and what he’d do as President are sorely, sorely lacking.
Fix it or go home.
Furthermore, a losing Walker-led ticket would provide the best proof for the GOP base that the “our guy would have won if he was more conservative” argument is a myth. As much as outsiders rolled their eyes at post-election claims that Romney and John McCain “weren’t conservative,”it’s certainly true that they were on the more moderate side of their respective primary fields.
so basically the moron writer is mocking something that’s true? how many conservatives stayed home and did not vote the past two presidential elections??
oh yeh- and leave it to the criminal liberal media to dream that people will feel hillary more a man of the people versus Scott Walker...left wing spin at its best!!!
According to the Washington Post Hole Digger, Walker is already out of the race.
Well, at least that’s what Brian Williams told them...
More Leftists tell Republicans what they ought to do to win. Pffftt...
The only thing I will demand of my candidate - before I cast a primary vote for them - is to demonstrate, and merely pledge, that they will have the guts to go after Hillary or the Dem nominee.
I WILL NOT vote for any Republican that will beat the snot out of other Republicans, but will be completely civil, and respectful, and tender towards the Dem nominee. Remember McCain, and Romney? Tough, and dirty against Republicans but gentle, sweet, and supportive of Obama. Heck, 8 days before the election McCain told everyone that we had nothing to worry about with an Obama presidency!
No more. Any candidate that wants my vote is going to have to prove that they are going to go HARD after the Dem — whether that Dem is a woman or not!
Whoever wrote this article is an idiot. When Goldwater lost to Johnson in 1964 the GOP turned tail and ran. And look where we are today. One big mess. If, in every election since 1964, the GOP had held strongly to conservative principles our nation would be in much better shape today.
I disagree, it's always a close contest around 50-50. In 2016 at least 1-2% of Obama voters are sooo dismayed that they will vote opposite, for the non Dem. I predict just about any Gop candidate wins.
Don’t throw us in the briar patch. We don’t want a more conservative candidate, we want a more conservative President, a more honest candidate.
Can someone tell me what “GOP-e” means? I see it all the time, but I never got the memo. It clearly refers to the Republican establishment, or to RINOs, but the significance of the “e” escapes me.
Let’s see, there was Obama’s Executive Order on Amnesty which as of now, doesn’t offer citizenship to illegals. Yet, Cruz’s bill is not called amnesty either???
The liberals will always tell you who they want to run against.
So far I am luke warm on Walker. He’s going to have to show me the money before I get on board. I’m more partial to Ted Cruz and I know this isn’t popular or Rick Perry.
Walker frightens the pee out of them. Good!
Downie’s an idiot.
Wrong in projecting a conservative will be easily beaten. If the Repubs ever do “lose” their pick for prez (Jeb, Christie, etc.) and a true conservative is the eventual nominee one thing will happen that did not happen in 2008 and 2012.
And that is MILLIONS more conservatives will show up on Election Day and will VOTE FOR the conservative.
Result? The conservative wins.
“stall the Republican Party’s sprint to the right and finally bring the GOP back to the bargaining table”
Self delusion seems to be all that I see on the news anymore....It is rather amazing..
This is funny considering Democrats and their union machines in a Democrat majority state threw the kitchen sink at Walker 3 times. And he kicked their butts all 3 times.
HOW about a petition urging Jeb Bush NOT to run and give it to his donors too.
His support is beltway and NYC based not reality based.
Yea, throw us into that briar patch.
I can already see the conservative circular firing squad gearing up. Walker looks queasy on illegal immigration, but folks get real about this issue. None of these people, including Cruz, is going to mass deport the millions of illegals already here. The best we can hope for is a candidate who will build a fortified wall on the border and have the stones to call for a moratorium on all immigration for the next twenty years in order to get these people assimilated. Anyone who thinks Ted Cruz, Scott Walker, Rick Perry, etc is going to deport tens of millions of illegals back to their home countries is living in dreamland.
