What does “ready” mean?

“Of the GOPe”?

[reasonisfaith]

It means able to be influenced with bribery.

[stboz]

Could it be that the GOPe’s philosophy is “A little more for you and a lot more for me?”

[PROCON]

Yes, what they really mean is that he isn’t GOPe approved.

By the term “ready,” the GOPe mandarins mean that Governor Scott Walker has not yet been assimilated into their Dem-lite/Uniparty Borg.

Yes, I would like to know this too. What are the criteria for determining if a candidate is “ready” for prime time?

If these liberal media types applied these criteria to Senator Obama in 2007 and 2008, there’s no way he would have been ready for prime time. Yet here they pushed his candidacy. So what exactly are the criteria???

Obama had been a senator for two years, after having been a state senator in Illinois. He was ready for prime time based on that experience. Walker has been elected three times in four years to an executive position, and fought bruising battles in Wisconsin. So yes, let’s discuss what the criteria are for determining whether someone is a realistic candidate for high office.

Yet, somehow, George Bush I (who won in 1988 only on Reagan's coattails), Bob Dole, John McCain, Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush were all "ready", weren't they?

If "ready" means "ready to lose", then I suppose they have a point.

[1010RD]

The GOPe believes America is not ready for a winner.
