No. He's more qualified than any other Candidate except perhaps for Ted Cruz.
Both these men fight. We need fighters, not sissy "yes" men.
What does “ready” mean?
“Of the GOPe”?
What did Jeb Bush accomplish as Governer the comes close to Walker’s accomplishments?
It means able to be influenced with bribery.
That is how I understood it too.
Could it be that the GOPe’s philosophy is “A little more for you and a lot more for me?”
Those ‘power brokers’ do have not had a very good history of brokering winners:
1992
1996
2008
2012
Those ‘power brokers’ are looking at the presidential race as insiders. They see what is good for DC and, thus, good for them and their K Street buddies.
Stupid question. A totally inexperienced Leftist has ruled the nation with an iron fist for six years, “transforming” America without a shot being fired. Do you really think one of the “moderate” GOP moss-backs will roll back all the power Obama has accumulated? I don’t. We cannot trust Jeb Bush to do anything but extend the reach of the federal government, just as his brother did (Medicare Drug entitlement, the terrible damage to liberty under his DHS, No Child Left Behind, etc).
These hypocrites - journalists and politicians from both parties - can eat dog poop.
The GOP elites don’t want any reformers like Walker breaking up their game and sweatheart relationships.
He’s not ready in their eyes because he’s not ready to bow to them and join their good-old-boys-club.
Republican power brokers McCain/Lindsey thought a candidate was ‘ready’ that we knew nothing about, only voted preset whenever any controversial issues came up and spent very little time in the Senate,
“Theres a pervasive feeling that Walker erred by refusing to distance himself from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, after Giuliani said at an event Walker was also attending that President Barack Obama does not love America. He also wouldnt say whether he believes Obama is a Christian.”
So he should have jumped on the media bandwagon and said something he doesn’t believe just to avoid a little name calling by the LSM? Fear of name calling has paralyzed the GOP in Congress. We need a president who isn’t afraid of the LSM’s name calling.
Sophisticated bribery... wonder why voting in new guys never seems to matter?

As opposed to Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, and Mike Huckabee. < /sarcasm>
That's my thought too. Yet another reason to support Walker.
When we’re talking about “emerging sense” in “early states”, you’re talking about events that are twelve months away.
But, MY emerging sense from frozen NH is that I like the hell out of the guy, and when I look at his enemies, I wish he was President right now.
The big problem with Walker is whether or not he is going to have an operation that will successfully control the narrative, fend off the leftist activist press, and put his opponent on the defensive.
No, this is not answered by “look at how he is driving the unions crazy in Wisconsin”. Bunch of middle-aged factory workers that are a throw-back to the 70s Democrats are not the same as the 24/7/365 media machine that the left of today has that can run attacks from multiple vectors almost at will. Where narratives can be launched from Tumblr, amplified on Reddit, spread through Twitter/Facebook/HuffPo, echoed on MSNBC and the NY Times, and then solidified on the Daily Show, and then given “royal assent” on NPR.
All without his Dem opponent ever having to say anything.
THAT is a sample of the machine he is going to have to combat. Not with a sly smile and a warm shrug either.
