Today:

'Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has gone back and forth on amending the Constitution over birthright citizenship, told ABC's "This Week" that he's against any such repeal.

"Any discussion that goes beyond securing the border and enforcing the laws are things that should be a red flag to voters out there, who for years have heard lip service from politicians and are understandably angry because those politicians haven't been committed to following through on those promises."'

So Walker has reversed course.

They are not legal citizens.

They did not enter legally other than in a illegal alien womb.

This is what his potential donors are telling him to say if he wants their money.

Highly probable. He doesn't own a money printing machine like Donald Trump.

It is not smart. It is weaselly. He has shown a lot of that trait. That is the last thing we need. DC is already full of campaign conservatives who turn out to be weasels.

I'm now convinced that Scott Walker is an idiot.

He took a good position, then abandoned it.

He can NEVER have it back.

He's just too dumb and too gay to be POTUS.

In other words, Walker can’t do two things at once. It’s called multi-tasking. Most of us have to do it at work all the time or the door hits us in the backside. Politicians are just talk.

Walker has a net worth of minus -72 grand when he filed with the FEC . He’s likely looking to cash in with GOPe.

The one who brings a bone, carries a bone. In other words, if he is going to be “smart” by being murky to enemies, he will be “smart” by being murky to you, eventually. Better to demand clarity, honesty, and follow-through.

Myths about birthright citizenship—promoted by liberals, embraced by establishment Republicans, and repeated by mainstream media pundits without critical examination—have been debunked by experts spanning the political spectrum. But none of those people are being given A-list treatment by major media outlets to respond.

Below is the example of the critical examination to which you refer. Try out your critical examination abilities on the following two sentences (A and B) and see if you see any difference. Liberals somehow don't. Amazing.

A. The 14th Amendment as written:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

B. A change to the 14th Amendment that liberals believe would be meaningless:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

This is probably the smart tact on this issue at this time.

Then he probably should have taken it and stuck with it from the start. As it is it's his third position in about a week.

“This is probably the smart tact on this issue at this time.”

But what about courageous leadership?

“He took a good position, then abandoned it.”

It’s called taking a call form a major campaign “contributor” who says he didn’t like what Walker said. That’s the one thing that Trump takes out of the political equation. He never has to walk anything he says back because he’s not beholden to anyone for campaign cash!
It tickles the crap out of me that he has enough money to cover every nickel that Boosh gets from his “one world” buddies. But I just imagine that Trump’s not spending much because he’s getting free air time from a media that thinks that by over covering him, they can force him to implode!

Walker has always reminded me of Pawlenty...and that isn’t good, IMO.
