Is Scott Walker qualified to be president?

So why would Walker be a bad choice? Three reasons........

The world is a dangerous place. We can't afford another commander-in-chief with no foreign policy experience who doesn't understand America's role in the world. As the governor of Wisconsin--as opposed to U.S. senator (Rand Paul, Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz) or a former U.N. ambassador(John Bolton)--Walker's diplomatic experience is limited to settling disputes with Minnesota during football season. He would be learning on the job while rogue actors like ISIS, Iran, Russia and North Korea threaten Americans, create unrest and perpetuate acts of terror. There are times to look to the states and elect leaders who can focus the nation's attention on domestic priorities like the economy, and there are times to look for leaders with a firm handle on foreign policy because the stakes are too high to gamble on that front. Guess which era we're living in.

With a full read, you'll see this Ruben Navarrette "dog whistle" hit piece - meant for progressive activists in the Democratic Party and the GOP-e - devolve into a gloat and warning about a Walker nomination.

No, he is not clean and articulate and has never been a community organizer. Next question. /s

Probably not qualified, after all, he probably has a birth certificate. Thankfully our Nobel Peace prize winning president is asking to invade another country.

Was he born in Hawaii? Don't you have to be born in Hawaii to be President?

To be truthful, President Obama probably lacked on every single front....the skills required for the job. Bill Clinton had lots of governor time and had the skillsets for the job.

To ask this question out of CNN....it’s best to go back to 2008 and ask how anyone could find experience or skills with President Obama. He simply didn’t have them.

If what he says is true, wouldn’t Ted Cruz be the perfect nominee, not Scott Walker? But he doesn’t suggest Cruz, for fear that Cruz would beat Hillary or Lieawatha like a rented mule.

Hey, Ruben, you moron!

If your analysis made sense, Walker would already be history.

But, no! He survived three elections in four years. He kicked the Democrat Party below the belt and got away with it! He demolished your miserable ilk!

Yes, the bar has been set so low now that the media can’t ask this question of anyone with a straight face...

Hey! I like Ted Cruz, but don’t kid yourself that because the Left fears and loathes Scott Walker (because he took on the unions and won - over and over again) that Cruz is a better (safer) candidate.

?????

After Obama, the bread I threw out last week is qualified to president. He has made the office of the presidency into a joke. No dignity, no intelligence, no love for the country.

>>To many Americans, Republicans are mean-spirited, intolerant, xenophobic and reactionary obstructionists who care only about the rich, preserving the status quo and protecting the majority, and who are better at explaining what they’re against than spelling out what they’re for.<<

Question: Who has perpetuated the myth, Senor Navarrette?
Answer: Look in the mirror.

I would turn that sentence around, thusly:

To many Americans, DEMOCRATS are mean-spirited, intolerant, TRAITOROUS and reactionary obstructionists who care only about the FOCUS GROUP OF THE MOMENT, preserving the status quo and protecting THEMSELVES, and who are better at NAME CALLING than spelling out what they’re for.
