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.

I heard from Scott Walker’s Freedom Summit speech what the union thugs did to him and his family. They will hock their mothers to pay for a Walker defeat if he runs for President. I say, bring them on!.......

Just imagine the advertisement for a Republican president when the electorate gets a good look at the rent-a-mob and union thugs (like the ones inside and outside the Wisconsin State Capital - camping out for months, beating their drums and shouting ugliness into bull horns). I say, "bring them on!" too.

After Obammie, anything on the planet that breathes is qualified to be president. Barry has dumb downed the presidency to as low as it can go.

He is getting the Sarah Palin treatment. We will see how fast he is abandoned by the GOPe and Free Republic. The media screams our candidate is dumb and under the bus they go.

Pray America is waking

How can anyone take this MSM sh*t seriously?

Although I know the yapping hyenas on the left will pick up the narrative without missing a beat.

You can bet the WH is doing a background check to help the media destroy him.

The media lap dogs have gotten their marching orders on this now.

The “Republicans are stupid” meme that started with RR.

Walker may not be “experienced” enough to become president but he has done wonders in Wisconsin as its governor. Should Cruz get the nod as the republican nominee, Walker would definitely be my choice for the V.P and eventually move on the POTUS. He already has FAR MORE experience than odumbo had when he was first elected and IMO outshines odumbo even after his failed 6+ years as POTUS. Walker is a good man and the demodummies know that so hence, the attackes are just starting. They fear him.

A much better question...what is a 'Ruben Navarrette' and what are his qualifications to be offering criticism or advice to Repubs?

A read of his piece shows none.

"Simple answer. John Bolton as Secretary of State"

Thank you Jimmy Valentine...!

Bolton would bring lots of attitude and a large pair of testicles to the job....something that has been lacking for far too long...

Is Scott Walker qualified to be president?

If Scott Walker is over thirty five years of age and a natural born citizen he is qualified to seek the office of president.

The voters will decide if he is qualified to be president.

“We can’t afford another commander-in-chief with no foreign policy experience”

Like Obama? LOLOLOLOLOLOL Growing up in Indonesia doesn’t count.

Like Bill Clinton? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Raping a girl at Oxford doesn’t count

Like Jimmy Carter? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Like every recent POTUS except for GW Bush #1?

“who doesn’t understand America’s role in the world”

Conservatives like Walker do understand that, liberals do not.

Is that doody I smell, is that coming from your pants, Rueben?
