I agree about the consultants, but Trump’s flipped and flopped a ton. He gets a pass and the one candidate who actually did something about the real threat to America, the Deep State, isn’t?
That’s the state of our republic. Celebrity rules the children made by government schools.
We just had a radical community organizer with no record of achievement and no executive/management experience be elected twice to the Presidency with the two highest vote totals in our history. He was not a celebrity, but he was a minority. He was not vetted by the MSM nor by the Reps who were afraid of being called racists.
Trump is a celebrity for a reason. He is a highly successful, wealthy global businessman who has built a real estate empire. He is also a successful author and TV personality. He has a record of achievement in the private sector,
Scott Walker was not a good candidate. He couldn't sell himself. He started out fairly high in the polls and then just started dropping like a stone. When he first announced, I felt he would be my candidate. I especially liked the way he linked immigration to the American worker and his vow that this was his first priority. At the end, all he could say about immigration was to secure the border, and then let's talk about everything else like birthright citizenship, deportation, etc. later.
Walker was a prisoner of the consultant class, including George Will's wife. He got lots of money from the Koch brothers and the corporate paymasters. In sum, Walker was a major disappointment who did not know how to tell his story or be himself. Blaming it on the education system is a cop out.
By the way, what is the "real threat to America, the Deep State?" Are you referring to the welfare state? Crony capitalism?
