Walker doesn’t make enemies unnecessarily, he earns them. He also likes to pick his battles. He allows himself to mature on issues (common core, ethanol), but by the right people and in the right direction, and that won’t change after the election.
Forget Reagan — Could Scott Walker Be the Next Calvin Coolidge?
Think about this and then when you've figured it out, you won't have to wonder why he keeps beating the Left.
His mother Jewish?
My guess is the swarm was placed there and nurtured by someone who feared Cruz getting more popular because of his many strengths.
We have some very good candidates who are fairly conservative, Cruz being the best IMHO.
Did you think whoever placed last weeks swarm is going to stop with Cruz? The familiarity of this pattern is frightening. Let's go after each conservative and somewhat conservative candidate one at a time until a certain candidate (whose name shall not be mentioned) has an opportunity to win.
In the mean time, the hildabeast has zero connection with this swarm, they don't really want to run agains the Bush family, and the Paul groupies are running wild (of which Ace is a fringe member).
Think man. It's one at a time. And we here can all help by voluntarily joining the swarming purist circular firing squad that has become such a wonderful feature of FR.......
From my previous posting:
“
In order to win leadership in Wisconsin, Walker needed to begin the process of educating the voting public on issues that needed attention. He knew that if he took on that task during the election, that he would loose the election, and never get a chance to reform. So instead, he positioned himself as a person in a learning process on these issues (even though he had very developed positions, based on his experience).
This “questioning” approach caused a lot of Wisconsinites to ask questions too, and be open to arguments, instead of hanging on the bumper-sticker responses they had been fed for years.
Questions like “why are our government bodies providing accounting and banking services for public unions” in the form of union dues deductions?
“Why are municipalities forced, via public employee contracts, to purchase health insurance from a union-formed company”, that are charging exorbitant rates?
“Why is state university tuition increasing, while these same schools are accumulating huge cash pools that are being buried in the university budgets?”
Walker’s political style is to plant questions in the minds of voters, not to tell them what they want. These questions cause the voters to come to the conclusions themselves.
Walker has raised issue awareness, and in turn, brought voters to his position on those issues. He wants the voter to make it their idea, an idea they can now explain and support.
Bottom line: Walker knows you win leadership roles by educating voters. He plays the humble role of teacher.”
Thanks...
Nobody can take this guy serious and he should be out as soon as he is in the race. He can’t even handle his personal finances and is in debt up to his eyebrows. Anybody that would want him to handle America’s money needs his head examined.
No, Walker is not the Greatest Living Human Being.
Walker has many flaws.
He supports free trade, but supports the TPA, which, in my view, is unconstitutional.
Walker supported the Patriot Act.
Both of those positions were the “mainstream” GOP position.
When it came time to lead, Walker never just accepted the mainstream position. He asked questions and analyzed issues.
One only has to look at his long list of accomplishments outside of unions in Wisconsin.
Every action Walker has taken as governor has been solidly conservative. He did that with a mostly purple, GOP-e legislature.
On immigration, Walker ended sanctuary cities and ended in-state tuition for illegals. Walker ended Common Core in Wisconsin by leaving the decision up to local districts.

In all fairness, this TPP deal is a good litmus test of a real conservative, not just a foreign multinational corporation internationalist.
To defend America, we need another “trust-busting” president, with a clear philosophy that any and *every* corporation that wants to do business in the United States must *contribute* to the United States in tangible ways, not just with the provision of goods and services.
They must either be “pro-American” as *we*, not they, define it, or they can take their business elsewhere.
A “free market” does *not* mean that anyone who wants to sell their goods here can. A “free market” can exist between nations, but it does not mean that corporations are “free” to take but not give.
Right now, America is haunted by several oligarchical industries, that owe no loyalty to America, do not hire Americans or buy substantial amounts of American products, yet wish to change our form of government to a more socialist one, while combining our interests with those of foreign powers. To hell with these oligarchs.
If they want to do business in the US, first they must have an established US branch, under US rules, paying US taxes, hiring Americans, and purchasing American products.
And despite previous court decisions, if they are so large as to utterly control an industry, or are “too big to fail”, then they are “too big to maintain their present form” and need to be systematically subdivided into competing interests. It doesn’t matter if a single corporation dominates an industry, or a dozen. Too big to die means too big to live.
Why listen to anyone who says something like this?
