Not looking for a hero, just someone willing to say and do what they say they believe in, and bloody their knuckles to get it. That’s what the leftists do, and I want to see the rightists do this also.
Walker has been my #1 choice for a good while now. Glad to see the GOP noticed the disturbance in the force.
I need to know his position on wetbacks.
Nope.
Walker is clearly someone we can coalesce around early in the process and send Bush, Christie, etc. packing.
No, he’s not.
Walker has been impressive, definitely top tier. How about a Walker/Cruz ticket. That would bring out the conservative base in a big way, IMO. Also, I believe Walker could pull in the independents.
On the campaign trail they could do a great good cop/bad cop routine and keep the dem nominee completely off balance. It would be fun to watch!
Pundits of all political stripes are trying to pigeon-hole and define Walker.
Rush says his appeal is that conservatives have been paying attention to his battles in Wisconsin; the electorate sees a fighter in Walker.
It appears that the Left hates and fears Walker - and so does the GOP-e.
The rest want to know more - or already know more.
He looks good on some things so far but let’s wait a bit before we canonize him, shall we?
His position on the persons who are in this country without either green cards or residency permits, whether an overstay on visa, or entry by extralegal means:
Scott Walker has indicated that there may be a path to legal residency and possible citizenship, but only after a very long time period and “proving up” that the applicant is a worthy candidate for those privileges, but on the short term, it involves payment of fines and fees, and with no “chain migrations”, but limited to only immediate family, parents and children, no cousins, uncles, aunts, or in-laws.
A compromise, to be sure, but not a sweeping “You’re excused” amnesty, with no penalty or repercussions.
And none of this would be enacted UNTIL the border is fully supervised and controlled as to entry and repeat crossings.
Cruz or lose
“Is Scott Walker the hero the conservative movement has been waiting for?
Nope. “
Nope, he’s no Reagan. But of the bunch, I rate Cruz at the top of the list and Scott second. However, I think Scott can probably appeal to more center/right voters than Cruz. Sadly, theres just not enough voters in the Right Quartile of the voter spectrum to carry the day and deliver Cruz.
I agree completely.
I heard he was divorced, was going to grant amnesty, and was talking about Bush as his runningmate in a bid to appease the GOP elites. Also heard he supported selling arms to Iran to win their support in something.
Not sure I can support such a candidate.
No. He is wrong on immigration.
He’s much better than what we currently have (then again. that ain’t saying much) but he is not the fix to the problem.
You have the ticket backwards..
Cruz would be MUCH better at the top of the ticket and flip/flop Walker when it comes to immigration.
Not in my top tier. Second tier maybe. Maybe.
We can work out the details later, we already agree on who we want on the ticket! B^)
Notice 95 percent of the article is about Walkers battle scars that were televised nationwide on Fox,and well earned,monumental it was riveting television,and he won against all the depraved leftists strategy from the ages.
Then they tell us about how the pretty boy and lightweight from Florida Rubio would probably be the one to turn the country red. What a joke
