Kind of hard to as a businessman and not a politician.

Last I heard, Walker was obsessed with a wall with Canada. Whats up with that?

Last I heard, Walker was obsessed with a wall with Canada. Whats up with that?

Some truth would be refreshing.

"The Canadian border got dragged into the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign on Sunday, with a prominent candidate appearing to entertain the notion of building a giant wall between the two countries.

The idea was raised in a talk-show interview with Republican contender Scott Walker, who after being pressed twice by the interviewer appeared to agree it was worth considering.

"Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire. They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law-enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town-hall meetings about a week and a half ago," the Wisconsin governor said during an interview with NBC's Meet The Press.

"So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at."

Walker didn't dwell on the issue. He quickly steered the conversation to the Middle East, rebuilding the military, and national security. The exchange about Canada never even made it to air, and was edited out of the interview highlights that ran on Meet The Press and was simply posted on NBC's website. Source

Walker and his Canadian wall. This is about the most idiotic thing he’s ever said (and there are others). A great FR thread on this somewhere over the weekend. That is about as career ending a comment as Bush saying Asian anchor babies is the problem, not Mexican anchor babies.
