Scott Walker is a favorite of mine. He will be asked many questions by the media as they try to discredit him. What questions will he be asked and how should he best answer them?
Freepers are some of the smartest people I know. Let's help the governor prepare for 2016.
Isn't it important that the nation have a President have a college degree?
Do you believe in evolution?
What foreign policy experience do you have?
What was the last book you read?
What are your views on abortion?
What is your immigration position now and has it ever been different.
If you had a different position, what was it and why is it different now?
Opposition research for Fauxcahontas
?
Walker and any other candidate that is show signs of doing well, will get questions. Those questions invariably try to make the candidate look bad on a progressive issue. How a candidate answers the question is important. The simplest answer to give in most cases is to refer to the US Constitution. Answer the question with the question, “Where in the US Constitution is there a power given to the President or the legislature to have a law on (fill in the blank - progressive issue).
They won’t ask questions that way?
Instead of asking what is his views on abortion he will be asked raped woman abortion rights questions.
The msm will keep the narrative that he is uneducated and not smart.
Have you stopped beating your wife Governor Walker? A simple yes or no please.

Uhhh, I was busy?
dingdingding!
mr walker, even though you didn’t finish college, you appear to be a very intelligent guy. why are you an evil republican?
as a republican, what vital entitlement programs will you end, and/or cut?
please explain how you plan to split up undocumented worker families
My mother fell ill and I took care of her. That’s the real answer.
Why aren’t the current immigration laws good enough (if properly enforced)?
Explain why you support a path to citizenship (that is outside our current laws) for a group of people who have chosen to blatantly disregard our laws?
How has the Chamber of Commerce helped to shape your views on illegal immigration?
I think the best answer he could give on the “Creation or Evolution” question is short and easy.
God knows.
I would like Scott Walker to say:
1. It will be the policy of my administration to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior. Or, I WILL NOT REWARD BAD BEHAVIOR AND PUNISH GOOD BEHAVIOR.
2. The “smartest” people in the world are the ones who got us into this mess.
3. Wealthy people have become more interested in investing in politicians than they are in creating new businesses. The separation of church isn’t the problem. The separation of business and government is the problem.
4. I do not want the power and the privileges of being President. I want the responsibility of being President.
5. Making government bigger won’t make people freer or their lives better.
6. The next President must not be selected based upon how much $ he or she can raise but how much liberty he or she will give.
7. Ask yourself, are those who contribute to the Presidential campaign investing in the people of the US or the Government of the US?
8. Our nation is $18 trillion in debt. Our prosperity is an illusion based upon an economy that depends on consumption fueled by debt. The government must stop borrowing and must begin living within its means.
9. Wall Street is in bed with the government but Main Street is getting screwed.
10. My administration will never try to make the week strong by making the strong weak.
11. The national debt provides the best measure of how much our politicians have betrayed us.
12. The media would have you believe that we are one of the most prosperous countries in the world. Our country is 18 billion dollars in debt. We’ve been living in a faux economy.
13. The problem with the economy is it used to take 100 people 8 hours to create 1 widget. Now 100 widgets can be created by 1 person in 8 hours.
14. Our economy has become too dependent on big business and big business has become too dependent on big government.
15. I will not increase debt by giving money to countries to that hate us.
16. My first act as President will be to stop all government advertising.
Trick question - or trick proposition, to be precise.
To await questions is to be passive even if clever answers are prepared.
The media abhor a vacuum which is why they will make (literally) news if there is none to broadcast.
Any candidate needs to play offense constantly, even if it’s exhausting.
The media may not like the message but if the candidate is speaking - and, preferably, attacking leftists and leftism, they will be obliged to carry it. If they don’t, someone else will and the ratings game dictates their compliance.
90% of the media gotcha questions can be deflected by saying: We have got huge problems in facing this nation, most of them brought on or exacerbated by the president and party in power. Evolution (or Common Core, or Vaccines, or Abortion) is a distraction - the real kind - from those problems. I would have thought the media would have grown tired of fake issues and canned answers. Now, will you help me as we seek the truth about the IRS Scandal? The NHS? Benghazi?
No, but a companions thread should be what questions do we want the media to ask the demoncrat candidates.
Did you drop out of school because you had a breakdown of some sort?
That would be an exercise in futility.
When in doubt, don’t answer, ask the reporter to rephrase the question.
No breakdown. Didn’t drop out of college. I heard Walker’s answer to the evo question in London and decided Freepers can provide some debate prep for the Walker team.
“Why is it that you just don’t seem to give a rip about us college educated journalists, Scott?”
