I think Jeb was the biggest loser this summer.
Jeb was a loser before the summer. :)
Are you working for Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush?
>> He has alienated donors with his pandering to the base of the party.
Other candidates have shown that what they term “pandering” to the conservative base is not a problem at all, provided all your other ducks are in a row.
I’m retired. I support Cruz and will vote for Trump if he is the nominee. The folks being quoted in the article are political insider caucus voters. That is why the article says “Insiders”.
Graham started out as a loser so he doesn’t count.
It’s a shame Walker tanked so badly — but it’s also a fact.
Please don’t take it out on the messenger.
jeb was the biggest loser, no doubt. Walker can still recover and be mutually supported candidate between the base and the political class. Jeb could stagger to a win in the primary, but he’s got no chance at the general election. Walker, Cruz, and a couple other could get enough broad support to keep some of the motivated base to the polls. Jeb cannot.
Graham had nothing to lose to begin with.
“It’s a shame Walker tanked so badly — but it’s also a fact.
Please don’t take it out on the messenger.”
If you want to disagree with a candidate or discuss his shortcomings, go ahead.
But don’t hide behind Politico and their biased attacks.
That cuts both ways. Why don’t you point out what is biased, false, or misleading in the posted article, instead of laying into the one who posted it?
Attacking the messenger is kind of a no-no here on FR.
It’s kind of scary how some people read the news these days, at least to me.
Here is what the article is based on:
“That’s the assessment of this week’s POLITICO Caucus, our weekly bipartisan survey of the top activists, operatives and strategists”
This is not an honest evaluation of Governor Walker. it is a bunch of Politico types attacking someone they obviously don’t like. And Politico types hate all conservatives.
Governor Walker has done an excellent job as Governor of Wisconsin. As the GOP primary field has gotten larger his percentages have gone down. That is true of most candidates.
But it is unfair to label him a “loser” at this point. He has articulated conservative views and while he is far from a charismatic candidate he has added substance to the debate.
That’s better. Thank you.
If you look at conservativejoys posting history, ALL he posts are articles slamming Walker. Anytime I look at an article posted here on FR that’s against Walker, 99% of the time it was posted by Mr. Joy.
Walker was never ready for the big stage, the people he put around him don’t get the base, they don’t get the frustration we have at the establishment, and Scott flip flopped and made clear he was just another status-quo R. He’s fine in WI...but a flop anywhere else.
Pandering to the base ... as opposed to xxxxxx his xxxx as a convenient aids-infected chamber of commerce whore ?
Anyone without the name Trump is the loser for the summer. The only one that seems to have some positive coverage is Carson but I recall too many bad scenes of him in video clips—he’s on borrowed time and should quit now before he embarrasses himself.
I like Conservative Joy’s posts ....
