Only Jimmy Carter can be Jimmy Carter
With Walker as a prospective President, he’d need a Texan to balance the ticket.
Oh for God’s sake. You should be ashamed!
Washington D.C. is ALIVE with RINOS...
like maggots on road kill..
What a crock! We knew Jimmah Carter, and Scott Walker is NO Jimmah Carter.
” Being aggressively anti-labor is much less likely to move swing voters in 2016 than, for example, being opposed to environmental legislation or being vehemently anti-marriage equality. “
They are wrong here. Obviously Walker is dealing with the Union thugs not workign people in general.
But if he was seen to be anti-worker, pro-boss, pro-Gore and pro-fag it would be a big problem amongst swing voters.
More I learn about Scott Walker, the more favorable my opinion of him is becoming.
Hellofa headline. Accuse a conservative of being a republican Jimmy Carter and never bother to mention Carter in the text of the story, nor draw any parallels. What a shitty story. Not your fault the headline of the story is crap.
I see this as tacit admission by the MSM that their preferred plan to offer either Jeb or Mitt as the GOP sacrifice on the alter of the hitlary coronation isn’t going to plan, hence the odd bashing/fluffing of Walker. Anything to derail Cruz, the Patriot that they really fear.
I would vote for Gov. Walker if he is the candidate on our side. I would vote for Sen. Cruz, and I would vote for former Gov. Palin.
There are many I would NOT vote for.
He needs to clear up his position on immigration, at one point he said he said nothing about giving anyone citizenship. This is what we will find out in the debates. He seemed to say something about farms needing laborers too. We’ll have to see. In the end, it may not be that different of a stance as what those who would grant temporary legal residency which sounds like it could become permanent.
He and Wisconsin Republicans have defunded planned parenthood, they’ve closed clinics, he signed the ultra-sound bill as well.
No, Scott Walker is not an anti-Semite.
oh what a vile insult...
The peanut farmer never had to win a state-wide recall election either.
Gee... Let’s have the Democrats choose our candidate!
Please tell me you are just posting this and not believing it!
Walker may be a lot of things but a whishy washy pubby he is not.
Right now the left sees him as the one who is most likely to defeat a know-nothing, never done anything, coulda-been such as billary.
The left does this all the time to everyone who could possibly derail their idea of who should be the next leader.
Look at what they did the last two elections! They elected the worst possible person for a job he was never qualified for.
PLEASE never use the names Scott Walker and Jimmy Carter in the same paragraph....there are certain contageous things you know.
Scott Walker would make a great President for many reasons.
The reason that I want to mention is character.
The man stands up and does what he says he will do. He sticks with it when the going gets tough - really tough.
I heard him speak before, and he comes across as a well-grounded, regular guy - not the kind of egomaniac or phony that is so common in politics.
His demeanor is calm and reasonable - a matter of fact Midwesterner, kind of like a Boy Scout. No sputtering anger or vitriol, no craven posturing. Rather than a happy warrior, he seems like a calm, committed warrior, who doesn’t give up, but doesn’t get nasty about it. So perhaps this reflects more on his temperament rather than character, but his character as well as his temperament have been thoroughly tested. His actions under fire show that the man has backbone.
For VP, traditionally the pick is either to help you get elected, by carrying a certain state, region or demographic; or to help you govern, by filling a gap in experience.
Cheney and Biden were both supposed to strengthen the foreign policy experience of the ticket. Most Governors (and therefor most Presidential candidates) don’t have much of a foreign policy background. Petraeus would have been awesome for this, so they assassinated him politically.
The VP is also President of the Senate, so Cruz could assist the administration in shepherding legislation and budgets, as well as general brainpower. He would also make an outstanding Supreme Court Justice.
Picking Jeb Bush as as VP would bring a fundraising and organizational windfall for the campaign, but could sow the seeds for being undercut in his future reform attempts, by bringing lots of Bush folks into the administration. But maybe Walker/Bush wouldn’t sound bad to those used to hearing the name George Herbert Walker Bush.
It will depend on how the public responds to the candidates during the primaries - their stock will rise and fall quite a bit, and with it, their negotiating leverage. VP picks rarely firm up before the end of the primaries.
Successful Governors are historically the most likely to win the candidacy.
That is the dumbest headline I have ever seen. More of a troll than a tease.
The piece never addresses the premise in the title.
