And the old money crowd is not ready to pick our next president...it’s the old boy network your turn crowd that gave us Dole, McCain and Romney. Enough of their idiocy. WE pick, not them. We pick, we get winners. They pick they get tired old losers. They forget that they need us to turn out and actually vote. They pick, they lose....again.
“There’s an emerging sense in the early states that Scott Walker is not ready for primetime,” Politico reported on Friday.”
This article is a hitlery puff piece where way down in the story they take a swipe at Gov. Walker.........I would expect nothing less from a lefty website like politico.
and when the Republican power brokers speak, we the working class voters know who to vote for... by the way when the hell are we getting out of the republican party anyway...
So Jeb Bush is “ready” because he agrees with journalists on amnesty and doesn’t want to upset liberals?
No thanks.
No, he just Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney or some other dolt.
I’ve stopped long ago trying to make any “sense” of what the left and the elitists say.
Everything out of them is nonsense and deceitful,
covering up their real agenda.
I know who they are, what they’re about, and that they’re lying. That knowledge should be used whenever you are examining what they say and do.
NOW I support Scott Walker. Up until the “party bosses” questioned him I was not sure.
NOW I am comfortable with him.
A COMMUNITY organizer with 3 years in the Senate has been ruinous to the country. The media and DC establishment have had NO problem with that.
Apparently “rookie mistakes” means appealing to the base and not the GOP elite.
if you mean actual prep work, then go prep him. Pay the bills. Get him a team. Just not a team of RINOs.
Only a former POTUS is truly “ready”. Shall we give one of them another term?
Like Bob Dole was ready? Like John McCain was ready? Like Mit Romney was ready? The establishment Republicans are really, really bad at picking candidates who are “ready”. How many times do they need to keep repeating the same mistakes looking for different results? Unless maybe they are getting exactly the results they are after.
Other than talk radio here in WI Walker has already had to fight that on a State wide scale. These narratives have already been started on a national level and picked up by the Wisconsin press throughout the Act 10 battle (which became a nation wide call to arms by the left) and any other legislative controversy the left wanted to drum up.
The reason he has driven the left crazy so far is exactly because all of the usual narratives that they’ve thrown at him haven’t stuck. Hell the Koch brothers smear attempts were used on Walker well before they were even used on Romney in 2012.
Walker’s strength has been speaking past the media both local and national and directly to the people truly concerned about the direction of the country. The people of this purplish State rewarded him with 3 elections to the office of governor. One of those a recall when the left was out for blood.
Yet the establishment think that he isn’t ready for prime time?
As a State resident there are things that can rightfully be griped about in regards to Walker. The biggest for me is he is too trusting of people close to him and appoints to positions which has lead to some bad press (like the first John Doe - which he asked for personally).
So from what I can tell the “establishment” has these as our prime time players:
Jeb Bush...or Jeb Bush.
No thanks.
And a street organizer was?
Ok. Scott Walker has won three elections in four years but isn’t ready, but their last golden boy, Mitt Romney, won exactly one election in his whole life and he WAS ready?? Please!!
The GOP ‘Power Brokers’ didn’t want Ronald Reagan, either...................
I would say yes to Calvin Coolidge but he is unavailable.
No candidate runs an error-free campaign. Walker is benefitting from the fact that he’s been exceeding the low expectations the “experts” had for him. Now he needs to keep showing people that he is ready. Whether or not he can do that remains to be seen.
It’s always a “group think” quote.
“Emerging consensus”
“Plurality of insiders”
I completely disregard what the “tsk tsk tsk” wing of the GOPe has to say. No matter what the situation, no matter what the response, the “tsk tsk tsk” wing will find fault in anything said by someone other than their chosen.
Rest assured, if Walker had responded in the moment exactly the way they describe after the fact the tsk tsk tsk’ers would have found fault with that response too.
Because it’s not about the situation. It’s not about his response. It’s about him not being THEIR candidate.
That’s why you can disregard what they have to say about him, or Cruz, or Rubio or Jindal or anyone else they don’t support.
Can’t say I have reason to disagree with you.
Aside from Walker’s hesitance to clearly define what he exactly means by “No Amnesty,” he is infinitely more capable and more qualified and more conservative than Jeb Bush will EVER be, period.
With Walker, I have reservations about Amnesty which I hope he will solidify and distribute, but with Jeb “Mr. I love Mexico” Bush, I KNOW what this a$$hat will do to this country. No contest.
