THE left is scared out of their minds (to put it politely) of Scott Walker.

The institutional left is petrified of Walker. If he can take down big labor in Wisconsin he can do it in the country.

Big Labor’s great weakness is if they are the issue they lose, but they are too brutish and arrogant to lay low.

If Walker is the nominee, Big Labor will reveal itself and self-destruct.

Serious fear. A Republican from an Obama Blue State who has never lost an election.

He’d be perfect since he can win votes in places a Red State Republican couldn’t.

That makes him a real threat to Hillary Clinton.

I believe you are right.

We will see more leftists rising up to criticize Walker.

(and to 2ndDivisionVet, sorry didn’t mean to duplicate your post with the active link)

“THE left is scared out of their minds (to put it politely) of Scott Walker.”

The left have minds?

Well, whoever gets the GOP ticket is getting my vote. I only hope it is a true conservative, but at all costs I do not want Hillary in there to complete the Commie agenda.

Dangerous if you’re a knee-jerk Lefty in love with Das Kapital.

Otherwise, a blessing.

Look for an overwhelming push for Jeb Bush by the left. They know they can beat Jeb and are scared to death of Scott.

I see little Johnnie Cassidy has his panties all twisted into a wad over one of the most normal men in politics.
I am shocked! shocked, I tell you!
No, I am not. what is happening to Little Johnnie is from fear. Fear that the American people are finally waking up.
If and when the Normals (as opposed to the Abby Normals) in this nation really get fired up and start marching with their muskets and pitchforks, the John Cassidys of this country will be finished and they know it.

Um... Good. His policies are anathema to the Socialist Left...

And that is a Very good thing.

First sentence stipulates Walker is an “odious” politician.

That’s considered de facto and the starting premise.

Dangerous.

Nothing wrong with Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, et al in Obama’s background.

New Yawker’s fearmongering again.
