We’re still a year away from the first official votes being cast in the 2016 Republican presidential primary in my home state of Iowa. Yet some of my brethren seem willing to declare the contest over and award Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker the victory before he’s truly been vetted.
How about we make a guy go through the job interview before we hire him based solely off his resume?
Now, to be sure Walker has an attractive resume, which is why I have several kind things to say about him in my book Rules for Patriots: How Conservatives Can Win Again. This is also where I lay out the four pillars of the American Left: the child-killing movement, the homosexual lobby, the educrats, and the government sector union mobocracy. In my lifetime, Walker is the only Republican elected official who has dismantled one of those pillars (government sector union mobocracy). w process.

He may have decided to fight one battle at a time.
He is a fighter. I do like the guy. He’d make a good solid VP.
He only recently decided that Americans should come before fraudulently documented foreigners. I’m not convinced of his conversion to the rule of law.
Gee Steve, wouldn’t it be a swell idea to vet EVERY candidate in every race?
Non sense he was vetted 3 times in 4 years in elections that the national unions fought against him.
Before he’s vetted? I thought we gave that up in 2008 and 2012.
Every bit of his background, every word uttered publicly has been looked over by his enemies looking for something, anything to use against him.

One thing the business elites and us grassroots folks have in common is a problem with union power.
I think it was easy for Walker to go after the unions because business elites supported it.
Walker is nowhere near Cruz as far as having a clear concise conservative message opposing Obamacare, Common Core and Amnesty.
The corporate elites want those things for economic reasons, plus they are advocates for imposing a sexual liberalism and punishing any dissenters.
Walker isn’t there on these issues and has been described as ‘acceptable to the establishment’.
Me either. I haven't seen anyone I really support for president except Cruz.
I keep trying to match him up with a veep; Walker, maybe, or one of the others. But I don't trust anyone at the top, Walker included, except Cruz.
Walker is a fighter when he cares about the principle involved, but he is fuzzy on a lot of principles just as the article mentions.
I wish it weren't so; the party should have a much deeper field than it does. But almost all of them are ready to deal away hard-rock principles.
Using that logic, Sarah Palin should be the nominee.
It is sad there isn't a deeper bench, and Walker doesn't automatically understand the correct principles every time, but I trust Walker as VP only with Cruz to guide him as President. Walker has proved he can learn. He just needs a strong president to run the 2x4. Someone like Cruz. ;)

Yep, let the “process” of going through all aspects of getting to a winning nomination work itself out! The “process” is useful for all of us!
Ditto for me. Cruz is the guy.
Lots of folks to like. But Walker is first on my list. He knows how to win and deal with Democrat shenanigans.
I think that sounds right.
Yawn...issuing fatwas now, are we?
I like either Cruz or Walker, but I think they are going to split each others votes allowing another person to win, but it's still early. Walker does not need lessons from Cruz. Walker has fought much bigger battles than Cruz ever has and has not only survived, but has gotten stronger.
Walker more conservative than Jeb or Obama, less conservative then Cruz.. or Palin..
