Sounds like a page from the Hillary playbook when she lost to Obozo. Unless Ted Cruz gets into this race, we had better not be letting these nice folks guide us to another progressive.
And the old money crowd is not ready to pick our next president...it’s the old boy network your turn crowd that gave us Dole, McCain and Romney. Enough of their idiocy. WE pick, not them. We pick, we get winners. They pick they get tired old losers. They forget that they need us to turn out and actually vote. They pick, they lose....again.
“There’s an emerging sense in the early states that Scott Walker is not ready for primetime,” Politico reported on Friday.”
This article is a hitlery puff piece where way down in the story they take a swipe at Gov. Walker.........I would expect nothing less from a lefty website like politico.
and when the Republican power brokers speak, we the working class voters know who to vote for... by the way when the hell are we getting out of the republican party anyway...
So Jeb Bush is “ready” because he agrees with journalists on amnesty and doesn’t want to upset liberals?
No thanks.
No, he just Jeb Bush or Mitt Romney or some other dolt.
NOW I support Scott Walker. Up until the “party bosses” questioned him I was not sure.
NOW I am comfortable with him.
A COMMUNITY organizer with 3 years in the Senate has been ruinous to the country. The media and DC establishment have had NO problem with that.
Apparently “rookie mistakes” means appealing to the base and not the GOP elite.
if you mean actual prep work, then go prep him. Pay the bills. Get him a team. Just not a team of RINOs.
Only a former POTUS is truly “ready”. Shall we give one of them another term?
Like Bob Dole was ready? Like John McCain was ready? Like Mit Romney was ready? The establishment Republicans are really, really bad at picking candidates who are “ready”. How many times do they need to keep repeating the same mistakes looking for different results? Unless maybe they are getting exactly the results they are after.
And a street organizer was?
Ok. Scott Walker has won three elections in four years but isn’t ready, but their last golden boy, Mitt Romney, won exactly one election in his whole life and he WAS ready?? Please!!
The GOP ‘Power Brokers’ didn’t want Ronald Reagan, either...................
No candidate runs an error-free campaign. Walker is benefitting from the fact that he’s been exceeding the low expectations the “experts” had for him. Now he needs to keep showing people that he is ready. Whether or not he can do that remains to be seen.
It’s always a “group think” quote.
“Emerging consensus”
“Plurality of insiders”
I completely disregard what the “tsk tsk tsk” wing of the GOPe has to say. No matter what the situation, no matter what the response, the “tsk tsk tsk” wing will find fault in anything said by someone other than their chosen.
Rest assured, if Walker had responded in the moment exactly the way they describe after the fact the tsk tsk tsk’ers would have found fault with that response too.
Because it’s not about the situation. It’s not about his response. It’s about him not being THEIR candidate.
That’s why you can disregard what they have to say about him, or Cruz, or Rubio or Jindal or anyone else they don’t support.
Aside from Walker’s hesitance to clearly define what he exactly means by “No Amnesty,” he is infinitely more capable and more qualified and more conservative than Jeb Bush will EVER be, period.
With Walker, I have reservations about Amnesty which I hope he will solidify and distribute, but with Jeb “Mr. I love Mexico” Bush, I KNOW what this a$$hat will do to this country. No contest.
Of course they do. He hasn’t had his spine or balls removed yet.....
They do have a point but it is on the top of their smug stupid heads. Walker is the best candidate in the field by far.
