Owe, no!
2016 hopeful Scott Walker has tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, owing money to a list of banks and stores including Sears and Barclays, a new report alleges.
The Wisconsin conservative Republican governor owes between $10,000 and $100,000 to credit card companies, The Daily Beast reported Wednesday, which cited Walker’s latest state financial disclosure forms, filed in January.

I’ll bet it’s his reckless driving wife.
That’s too much debt IMO [only].
Ok, I'll do it. Who does he want for his running mate?
I've made several large purchases using 12 or even 24 months with zero interest. I got to keep my money and earn a little bit of return in my money market account.
About fifteen years ago I bought a car to get the airline miles; went to the bank, got a car loan and paid of the credit card.
The financial disclosures of politicians are based on the balance on cards as of the day it was filled out. I always owe something on a credit card, even though it's paid when the bill comes.
Nice try, but you lose.
First, that is not an act Walker would take as governor.
Second, Walker has not picked a running mate. He had nice things to say about Rubio and would consider him, but never said Rubio was who he wanted and nobody else.
But you Cruz people just keep on trying to ignore Walkers ACTIONS and twist his WORDS.
I know you Cruz supporters hope we will forget about:
1) The Cruz 500% increase in H1-B visas
2) The Cruz work permits for illegals to stay here
3) The Cruz speeches & amendments against Obama's Iran capitulation followed by Cruz voting to support Obama's Iran capitulation....and now Cruz giving speeches against Obama's Iran capitulation again
4) The Cruz speeches & amendment against Obama TPA power grab followed by Cruz voting to support Obama's TPA power grab 5) The Cruz support of whatever the US Chamber of Commerce wants....as evidenced by the above ACTIONS and votes.
Ok, I'll parse it like you. Walker is awesome as gov. As president, his decisions are not conservative. his running mate choice shows he's out of his league. WI can keep him.
I didn't know Walker won the GOP nomination and chose a running mate.
Or do not like that he socializes with homosexuals and says nice things about fellow Republicans?
Would you prefer he lays a scorched Earth policy to the GOP, like Trump?
He thinks he did, that's he said he'd pick RUBIO. A true conservative's dream choice: Rubio.
To prove how you Cruz supporters LIE about other candidates, here is the full quote:
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says that the suggestion he hears most often about who he should choose as his running mate, if he wins the GOP nomination for president, is Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
"I like Marco a lot," Walker said in an interview on CNN's "Politics Outside with Insiders" with host S.E. Cupp. "I certainly agree with him a lot on national defense issues."
The Republican said he has had several people say that he should pick Rubio, if he ends up being the nominee. "Of people who have made suggestions to me, that is probably 90-10 the suggestion people make," he said.
This isn't the first time it's been suggested that the duo should join forces.
In an interview with Bloomberg Politics in June, Walker made similar comments, saying that several "supporters, donors and others" have also made the Rubio suggestion.
"For now, you know, Marco is a quality candidate," Walker told Bloomberg before he announced his candidacy. "He's going to be formidable in this race as things progress. And if we were to get in, we'd be as well, and we'll see where things take us."
The Wisconsin Republican added that while he typically likes governors for presidents and vice presidents, he thinks Rubio stands out.
Missed a quote:
Walker said he and Rubio often hear the suggestion that they should combine forces, potentially even before the first nomination voting in Iowa in February 2016, as a way to stand out amid a crowded field. "We'd just probably have to arm-wrestle over who would be at the top of the ticket," he said.
Walker/Rubio or Rubio/Walker. Take your pick "real" conservatives! Start betting on that arm wrestle!
Still do not see a definite statement there.
Frankly, you are making this up because you cannot criticize Walker for anything he did as governor of Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, your little Cruz gives speeches, offers amendments, then votes for what the US Chamber tells him....then he tries to have it both ways, like John Kerry.
It's too bad Walker never enacted GOP-e stuff like Cruz has done or you might actually have a point!
But for now, you have ZERO substance to your assertions.
Wisconsin conservative Republican governor owes between $10,000 and $100,000 to credit card companies,
Wow. There investigative reporting is insane....between 10,000 and 100,000 thousand dollars. That is a huge difference. The Daily Beast at it again. Oh well that means that Walker is in the running. I am glad that they are going after him. Not exactly a big deal when most Americans have credit card debt.
So disappointed in you. He is Not getting a pension. He is 47 years old. Perhaps in his 60’s he might but with the way that the World is going, we all might not be here in 20 years. Why are you bashing Walker? He doesn’t deserve it especially with that nonsense.
That is great. I actually make money on the credit cards I use. I get 1.5 percent back which is actually more then the banks are paying. I think it is a good deal in a way.
Of course he’ll be eligible for pensions. I assume from both the county and the state. That’s a big part of most such government jobs—usually adding up to more than they received while actually working.
