Or they’ll off him, like they have so many times before.
look instead at Walker’s record running what used to be one of America’s more progressive states
I mean is that supposed to be a negative?
Having cemented his reputation as an economic conservative,
Again.
the consensus of opinion is that Walker’s repeated refusal to distance himself from Rudy Giuliani’s incendiary comments about Obama, and his subsequent encounter with the Washington Post’s Dan Balz and Robert Costa, during which he appeared to question Obama’s religious faith and took some shots at the media for asking him silly questions, weren’t merely reprehensible: they were serious gaffes that raised questions about Walker’s political abilities.
Political abilities????
This guy is not living on the same planet. He sounds certifiably insane.
One thing is certain. Scott Walker has caught their attention. and they seem terrified.
I don’t doubt they’ll do everything they can — money, muscle, riots.
All their emotional antics have only alienated them from those who work harder for less.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that some of the GOP elites are dropping info the opposition.
Some articles call Walker a conservative. Others call him establishment.
Right now, he seems to be polling better than the GOP elite guy — Jeb.
Reading that makes me want to contribute to his campaign.
As one reporter/commentator complained, Walker just isn’t playing the game right.
[Translation: Walker needs to screw up in a good soundbite or three, so the media can ‘Palinize’ him before he gets too much of a lead.]
One thing is certain. Scott Walker has caught their attention. and they seem terrified.
Scott Walker reminds them of Ronald Reagan.
Huh, another ‘let’s slash and burn Walker’ post from a Pro-Cruz guy.
The Cruz contingent could learn a lot from Walker, who has stated a Ronald Reagan like approach to the race for the nomination, our enemies are not other Republicans, our enemies are the Democrats.
“Leave the RINO’s alone in primaries” is NOT Reaganesque
Walker's not my first pick (Pence) but is near the top. Nobody can take away from him that he's won three times in a light blue state in the Midwest. Before that, he won Milwaukee County as an executive. That's despite taking on the unions. Unlike another governor in the Midwest that won before (Snyder), he's a not tax raising RINO.
Who said anything about bowing down?
That was you, not me.
I post threads critical of Ted Cruz all the time. Didn’t see you protesting those, did I?
So the Walkerites demand that we bow down and coronate Walker? Doesn’t work that way in America. Maybe you have us mixed up with Venezuela or Zimbabwe?
Hey, some people want to coronate Cruz.
Actually, I haven’t seen them. Let me go look, I may owe you an apology.
Hmmm. Walker is looking better. If the New Yorker hates him, he must be good.
Sorry, running out of time, I’ll look tomorrow.
Where is the “danger”?
The danger is that the bandwagoners won’t find out if Scott Walker will give the country away before they elect him President.
I don’t want to “coronate” anybody, not Ted Cruz, not Sarah Palin, not even the resurrected Ronald Reagan.
