From Free Fall to Free Markets: How Wisconsin Turned Itself Around

The losers collapsed fifty yards from the starting line are wheezing at the passing runners in the marathon to quit.
What part does Trump get right about immigration? That illegals can stay if they “work hard?”
Whether he is analogous to any of the above is irrelevant. The fact that he and Cruz are addressing THE problem facing the U.S. IS the ONLY thing that matters. The illegal immigration issue is urgent and if not taken care of, we're doomed. I told a group of freepers that YEARS ago. Still waiting for them to post here that I indeed DID make an emphatic statement about that years ago in Austin.
I hate to rub it in, because you are a nice lady, but in his next door state (MI) Walker is tied for 8th place with 4%, along with Christie and Huckabee, while Trump leads with 20 percent. In Iowa he’s doing a bit better in third place with 9% v. Trump with 22%. How long has Walker been campaigning there? Trump will be there at the fair today, offering free rides for the kids in his helicopter. It’ll be yuge, just watch.
“....[Glenn Beck] proceeded to dish a detailed list of all the things he didn’t understand about Trump:
He is part of the problem when he by his own admission, buys politicians; he said he identifies his “policies more as a democrat”; he makes President Obama look truly humble; he was very pro abortion until very recently; he still says “don’t defund planned parenthood”; he is pro “assault weapon ban”; he is in favor of a wealth tax that would just “take money out of people’s bank accounts”; he is for boots on the ground in Iraq and ‘taking the oil’ from the Iraqi people; he is a progressive ‘republican’; he says single payer health care works; he said he would give people more than just Obama care; the First Lady would be the first to have posed nude in lesbian porno shots; he said that he keeps all the bibles he is given in a “special place” out side the city – and he only goes to church on Christmas and Easter; he is generally not a likable guy; he has around 16% favorability with Hispanics and he has gone bankrupt 4 times.

Trump is given a pass for “evolving views,” yet Scott Walker is a GOP-e progressive RINO statist amnesty shill for tightening his 2010 position on illegals.
Where’s Trump’s “evolution” from support of the Kelo decision?

And 70% of US Citizens agree that this is issue # 1.
Build the damn wall. Deport the criminals. Turn off the spigot of illegals just strolling in and signing up for welfare.
It’s also important to note that Scott Walker became governor of Wisconsin in January 2011, by June of 2011 he was the first and ONLY governor to REVOKE instate tuition for illegals.
The replies are just amazing...they are projecting onto Trump what they want him to be - and making all kinds of illogical arguments to defend his many left leaning positions, statements and actions. It’s Obama bot like in many ways.
Well that’s swell. What’s his position on illegal immigration ? Sealing the borders ?

I couldn’t tell if #10 was a put on (a double, double reverse).
But...but Trump is attracting Democrat voters and that is a good thing (so I’m being told by his supporters). Even Stiles has donated to his campaign.
I don’t think it was parody....not 100% sure....but some of these folks are beyond satire.
If Reno was being absurd merely to demonstrate absurdity, he’ll tell us. If not, well, it was just absurd.
Who was the first State Governor to invoke “instate tuition to illegals?” Do you know? That fact is also important.
June 27, 2011: Walker Revokes In-state Tuition For Undocumented Students Attending Univ And Colleges In Wisconsin "- On Sunday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) signed his two-year 2011-2013 budget, which included ending in-state tuition for undocumented students attending public universities and colleges. In-state tuition for undocumented students was approved two years ago by former Governor Jim Doyle (D) after the Hispanic community struggled for 10 years to pass it."...
March 2015: “We strongly dispute this account. Governor Walker has been very clear that he does not support amnesty and believes that border security must be established and the rule of law must be followed. His position has not changed, he does not support citizenship for illegal immigrants, and this story line is false,” she announced in an email to journalists Thursday afternoon.”
“I made it clear that for me, if somebody wants to be a citizen, they need to go back to their country of origin, get in line, no preferential treatment,” Walker said. “In terms of what to do beyond that, again, that’s something we got to work with Congress on.”
Seems the article’s underlying point strikes me as merely, “Get even with the GOPe by supporting Trump! That’ll teach em’!”. So much of Trumps support has this weird, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” vibe to it and not much else.
I can’t trust Trump any further than I could throw him. He’s had stances on all sides of all issues which make me wonder how those positions will (ahem) “evolve” tomorrow. And if elected, would his “evolving” positions lead him to “negotiate” away more of what little is left of the Constitution, just so he can be seen as “the winner” of a deal with congress?
I think I’ll stick with supporting Cruz. I hope Trump enjoys his spotlight while it lasts. He always suffers a meltdown when things don’t go his way. It’s just a matter of time until he gets his fill.
And for those who want to spank the GOPe, I believe electing a conservative would be much better option than electing a billionaire-blowhard who was all for liberal policies until he needed to be perceived as having “evolved” on those issues.
TX (Rick Perry) 2002
Both with veto proof legislative support.
Wisconsin enacted a similar law in 2009 (Gov. Jim Doyle (D) 2003-2011), but then revoked that law in (June) 2011. [Gov. Scott Walker took office Jan 2011.]
"2014
"Currently, at least 18 states have provisions allowing in-state tution rates for undocumented students. Fourteen states provide these provisions through state legislation—California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. Two states—Oklahoma and Rhode Island— allow in-state tuition rates to undocumented students through Board of Regents decisions.
California and Texas were the first states to enact legislation in 2001. In 2002, New York and Utah passed similar legislation. During the 2003 and 2004 legislative sessions, Washington, Oklahoma, Illinois and Kansas all passed such laws. Oklahoma has since amended its law, leaving granting of in-state tuition rates to undocumented students up to the Oklahoma Board of Regents. The Board of Regents currently still allows undocumented students, who meet Oklahoma's original statutory requirements, to receive in-state tuition. In 2005 and 2006, New Mexico and Nebraska signed undocumented student tuition legislation into law, and Wisconsin enacted a similar law in 2009, but then revoked that law in 2011. Maryland's governor signed a law in May 2011 allowing undocumented students meeting the specified requirements to pay in-state tuition at community colleges only. Also in 2011, Connecticut enacted a law allowing in-state tuition for undocumented students. In 2013, four states, Colorado, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Oregon enacted laws allowing in-state tuition for undocumented students. Florida passed legislation in May 2014 and was signed by the Governor in June 2014...." Source
