Where is Walker on an issue that you are concerned about?

Pure oversight. Everyone trusts Granny. She is as pure as the freshly wind driven snow.

At least with Hillary the GOP would offer a token resistance. With a GOPe President there would be none. Both party establishments are working towards the same goal.

No the best part is that Obama also won Wisconsin. Both times. That’s why I say, Wisconsin voted for Walker AND Obama. All I need to know.

You got that right. Sowell has written some good stuff, but this is not one of them.

Sadly, a great and long term conservative, Thomas Sowell, will be trashed for not championing Trump’s chumps with the idea that all it takes to be a conservative is to quit giving money to Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, and Hillary, change your party, and be obnoxious and attention seeking. What does Sowell know about conservatism compared to this dilettante who won’t explain a single one of his policies beyond “trust me?” Actually, he Sowell is a great and brilliant man, but Trump’s type of leadership means no doubts, no thinking, and no vetting.

If the pubbies can’t accept Trump and they can’t figure out that stopping baby killing is more important than their political careers, then “What difference does it make, anyway?”
They can either grow a pair of prepare for a dictatorship.

How does “shouting” trump “doing?”

So you think it has been wise to nominate candidates from States that never vote with your party?

From this article: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/07/02/walker-for-president-effort-hires-another-controversial-anti-conservative-in-brad-dayspring/

"It’s worth noting that there is currently a legal firewall that prevents Walker’s campaign-in-waiting from coordinating with the Super PAC for which Dayspring has been hired. Several aides to Walker’s campaign-in-waiting, in refusing to answer specific questions about things Dayspring has done in the past and Gov. Walker’s thoughts about him, made that point repeatedly to Breitbart News during the reporting of this story. But it’s hard to imagine that Dayspring would have gotten the job had Walker been uneasy with him.

What’s more, a high-ranking source with another Republican presidential campaign tells Breitbart News that Dayspring was offered the job three months ago—around the time the Mair catastrophe struck Walker’s team—and Dayspring turned it down then. So, if true, Dayspring was originally offered this job when there was no legal firewall between the campaign-in-waiting and the Super PAC—and that the governor himself would have approved the offer.

“I hear they offered this gig to him 3 months ago and he turned them down,” that source said in an email. “He went back to them because no one else would hire him.”

Where is Walker on an issue that you are concerned about?

Now that it's election season, and he is in the game, his stances are, for the most part, stances I take as well. That hasn't ALWAYS been the case, hence the flip flop comments. This is EXACTLY the position I found myself in 2000 with Dubya. One more time: I can look past the flip flops, IF I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that after being elected, he would stand WITH Conservatives and AGAINST the establishment. BUT, his campaign has yet to prove that. What's worse, the way his campaign is currently playing out says that he will, in fact, side with the establishment. I want to hear him - loud and clear - decrying the establishment, and I want to know how he will systematically DESTROY the establishment and MAKE CONGRESS WORK FOR CONSERVATIVES - not the establishment, once elected. Cruz and Trump are both doing fabulous jobs of that very thing, right now. Walker has been silent on the subject, which leads me to believe he will, as Dubya did, fall in line with the establishment/CoC if he were to get elected.

.

Donald Trump has virtually no chance of becoming even the Republican party’s candidate in 2016 ...

much less being elected President of the United States.



At this point "anyone" who embraces the above "theory" should be defined as the "enemy" of American Conservatism ...

Donald Trump scares the living HELL out of the Washington DC Beltway Cartel ...

If it weren't for Donald Trump's activity in the 2016 GOP Presidential race ...

the daily "Fox News Cycle" would be DOMINATED by reports about "grand" statesmen as Yeb Bush, Lindsey Graham ... and their lap dogs like Scott Walker and John Kasisch ...



Is Donald Trump flawed ?

Yes ... just like Winston Churchill, George Patton, Jr. and Maggie Thatcher ...



Scott Walker needs to invite Donald Trump to dinner to "mend fences" ... swallow his "Wisconsin Wonder Boy" pride ...

and get "anchored" to the Conservative side in the 2016 GOP Presidential election ...



If my very life were at stake, and I had to pick either the advice of Donald Trump ...

or Scott Walker, John Kasisch, Lindey Graham (etc) ...

I'd get MY answer from Donald Trump.

Period.

Perhaps that's WHY Donald Trump continues to surge ... people TRUST him ...

This would not be the first time the Clintons used a straw man to win an election.

Remember Ross Perot who ran as a third party candidate against George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton?

Have you been following what Walker’s been accomplishing in Wisconsin?

He’s showing that it is possible to turn a blue state around and do it as a conservative and as a Republican.

You can hold tight to your bumper sticker argument but it won’t teach you anything.

Yes, and Trump wins either way. That is, if he causes Hillary to win, he wins. He will be the reason she won because he is a fake conservative duping those who think it’s just a pose that a clownish poseur like him can pull off. The only way we win is if the real conservatives stop compromising.
