I want Walker, he’s battle-tested, stood his ground, and is conservative.
But I worry that the GOPe and their trolls may yet destroy him. It’s like my daughter telling me there’s a huge sector of Twitter who support ISIS. The enemy has infiltrated almost every form of communication. I pray for Walker.
More than that, their are trolls on many different fronts, not just coming from the GOPe. Campaigning can be a nasty fight. The staff of other contenders are not above putting out disinformation and even using dirty tricks to smear a candidate.
I’d still like to know how the whole thing about Herman Cain sexually harassing women cam up and who brought it forth, funded the research, came up the list of women, etc. Was it the Romney campaign? The GOPe? (same thing) The democrats? The media? (also the same thing)... Or maybe one of the other competing candidates? Or maybe just some actually harassed women who came forward and the rest snowballed?
There’s an old saying in the Air Force, “You know you’re over the target when you start getting flak.”
I also believe that the mighty power of government was involved, and believe many of the smears could be traced right back to the Obama White House, to wit; Herman Cain, Mitt Romney’s tax records, the denial of 501 C status to pro-conservative groups, and probably every “revelation” to hit the press back in 2012.
What scandals will come forth for the candidates of 2016? We don’t know yet, but my bet is some will come forth.
