LOL. That's SO not what's happening here.
Look, I love Malkin to death, but when the general election rolls around, you're going to need that GOP machine. I'm not talking about the elitists or the Chamber of Communist whores. I'm talking about the party structure, the organization itself.
The beauty of Walker is that he's popular with BOTH the Tea Party base and the GOP establishment. Also, he's a Rust Belt Republican, who can re-create Reagan's stool (no pun intended) AND appeal to libertarians and blue-collar Dims and deliver a landslide victory.
I don't have a problem with Walker being vetted in the traditional sense, but what's going on here is a Salem witch trial. You don't win 3 elections in 4 years by being unknown and a RINO. Malkin and others who are searching for a pure as the driven snow Republican are just going to fracture the coalition in anger and frustration and then Jeb will be the sacrificial lamb to Hillary.
See this is the problem with the pollutionists. This is why we end up with Boehner and McConnell who were supposed to prevent the Barry-amnesty and then just turned around and funded it after winning the election.
Let me spell this out for you. Scott Walker has a credibility problem with regards to amnesty. Amnesty is a very important issue for a lot of conservatives. The GOP machine is not trustworthy on amnesty as they just funded it for Barry, after promising before the elections to stop it. Hence conservatives don't trust the GOP to be on the right side of this issue.
Walker recently recanted his amnesty support. He claimed that he was now on the right side of the issue. Then he goes and hires this prominent amnesty promoter.
Do you think conservatives should keep quite and look the other way?
People are not looking for candidates pure as snow. However they are not ready to compromise on some key issues. They also don't trust people whose actions don't match their promises. They are also looking for the best candidate who will represent them.
