George Will’s wife is deeply saddened.

He kind of comes across as dull and in a few years will be the balding high school math teacher type. Glad he won and he needs to stay where he is. Pick up a U.S. Senate seat there in a few years. He’s toast nationally.

Perry and Christie need to go away as well. Jindal, too. They aren’t going anywhere and are burning money.

Tebow is awesome.

Agreed, once he runs his course in Wisconsin he should seek out a Senate seat. Probably sooner than later as the hate he’s stirred up will eventually catch up and make him unelectable even in Wisconsin.

Actually, this is rather sad. I think Walker had great potential, but has surrounded himself with advisers who are questionable - such as George Will’s wife. I think he could do a decent job as president, but, perhaps he has another calling in life rather than being president. There will be many doors open to him once his term as governor has finished.

After he gets a college degree.

I like Walker and I like what he did in Wisconsin and I would support him if he got the nomination but I honestly don’t see him winning against the global communist machine that is the DNC+media+foreign-money+massive-voter-fraud.

The only question would he fail like McCain failed or would he fail bigger, like Romney failed.

We need some one with a real chance of going up against the tsunami of hate and lies that the DNC will launch and win.

I know Walker did it in Wisconsin; I just don’t see him doing it nationally.

And besides all that, Trump is right on immigration. Walker is not. And that’s a big difference.

Walker is HATED because of George Will and his wife.
They all belong in Hell.

I like Walker, but he is not my top choice. If he were the Republican nominee, I would have no problem pulling the lever for him.

That being said, I don’t believe he will be the nominee. He has done a great job crushing the unions in Wisconsin. I would love to see him take that nationally. Perhaps the best way is as Secretary of Labor.

People who are sincere and honest, who build honest relationships often appear dull and uninteresting. Those who have charisma are often sociopaths. That charisma and eye contact is a body language promise of a genuine, personal relationship. It’s a promise they almost never keep. The uncharismatic acting guy does not send out those body language signals because he already has his time taken up by real relationships and he can’t afford another, especially a relationship with thousands he meets and asks for votes. Bill Clinton is charismatic, and about as shallow as a fingernail. He promises much and makes people feel special but probably has no real relationships.

Ike and Reagan were charismatic.

A college degree is no match for the experience he has had. Some college graduates, are total idiots anyway. Just look at who runs this country and all their Ivy League degrees.

“After he gets a college degree.”

I’d prefer he doesn’t get indoctrinated into liberalism.

Barack Hussein Obama allegedly has an Ivy League law degree, although almost no one recalls seeing or meeting him. Ted Cruz, on the other hand, was a shining star at both Princeton and Harvard Law School and thousands will tell you about him. Several of his professors describe him as brilliant, although they vehemently disagree with him on almost every issue. Princeton’s freshman debate series is named after Cruz. See the difference?

They put all the Christian and federalist-type colleges out of business? How did I not see that thread?

I know the difference and know that Cruz is a brilliant man on the Constitution. I was referring mainly to the DEMS in office, and RINOs. All the IVY League schools are pro-DEM.

Well, the fact that Cruz got through two of the top schools probably more conservative than when he started sure says a lot, doesn’t it?

John Ellis Bush, Marco Rubio and Chris Christie went to lesser schools, none of them is Ivy League.

True, but, I still don’t think a college education is an all in all. I think Scott left in his senior year to run for some type of office, and won - so, that was valuable experience in itself.
