What is amazing is that Walker would step out on the national stage to run for president without even making an effort to learn what the likely hot-button issues would be, and how to frame his "talking points" to avoid the media gotchas for each one.

Alternatively, he could have started many years ago developing a solid understanding of Constitutional conservative principles, such that "talking points" would not be necessary.

So our Tech Billionaire’s want open border’s. Just as long as they have private jets, security guards, large gated estates and cheap help.
They should each have to take in 10 illegals for every bedroom they own..

I don’t think you’ve been watching Scott Walker for very long.

He’s not stupid.

Those that have underestimated him in the past, don’t any more.

When Walker has both the Right and the Left protesting simultaneously, he’s found a huge target and has dropped a bombshell directly on it.

All the screaming you’re hearing now is of the “Shoot first, ask questions later” variety as people scramble to reorganize their defenses. Once they start asking the most relevant question, which will be “How come so many of our own voters agree with Walker on this?” they’ll realize there’s no defense available. Their position has been demolished.

I particularly like the irony of the Left having to defend illegal and legal immigration at the same time they claim to be solid defenders of the American worker. Walker has made that hypocrisy clear with his stance.

Eh. A conservative killing him or herself to avoid gotchas from a liberal media.

If a conservative doesn’t say the gotcha aloud, the media just makes it up.

Or implies that the conservative is blowing some invisible, inaudible dog whistle that is saying the same thing, and people buy it.

I think it is a waste of time for a conservative to even try to “frame” talking points beyond the minimum necessary. Once you expound at all on a point, they are going to extract whatever they want to, true or not.
