he made several comments along those lines- i don’t disagree with him on the issue, i just don’t like the way he is sounding like a schoolyard baby saying “I’m better than them”
It is a very un-presidential way to speak about yourself and other candidates
And the high pitched whiny shouting voice he uses in his speeches is a total turnoff too “I WILL STAND FOR YOU (wait for applause) AND I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU (wait for applause)”
Which candidates are NOT going to “fight for us” (heck even the Democrats say that)
He needs to listen to Reagan speeches for tone and demeanor- they ALL do.
Please note I am not criticizing his successes as a governor, just the manner of speaking. (all of them - cruz is the best though)
I haven’t heard this tone from Scott Walker.
Yeah, that too.
His performance didn’t have the same fervor as his acclaimed speech last month to the Iowa Freedom Forum, but it didn’t matter. Walker’s CPAC straw poll placing -- a close second behind the favorite Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) -- shows he got the most bounce out of the event. His showing was especially impressive given that he lacks the organizational muscle of the likes of Paul and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who finished fifth.
And he deserves it. While from a messaging and charisma standpoint, my personal favorite is Ted Cruz, Walker has been tested in an unprecedented, relentless, vicious, four-year trial by fire from Democrats, unions, and the media. He is the first governor ever to survive a recall election, and despite a national effort by unions and Obama’s left, he won handily. Same with his re-election. Walker has survived unsullied by a four-year secret probe that vies with the IRS scandal as one of the greatest systematic abuses of governmental power in recent memory. Corrupt prosecutors used the power of the bizarre “John Doe” law in a vicious attempt to shut down the GOP throughout the state and destroy Scott Walker’s re-election prospects. The only mystery is why Milwaukee County DA John Chisholm and his assistant, Bruce Landgraf, are not in jail. Against all these odds, Walker has governed effectively – introducing changes and reforms that have reversed the state’s downward economic slide, balancing the budget, and cutting taxes.".....
More on this vicious John Doe" business.
Very good read of Wallace’s body language.
-—Jebbish will be the designated loser this time. What will we do then?
We have to think outside the box the parties have put us in.
Vote for another party all together and stop giving money to the uniparty.
I’m simply tired of having candidates that need to “find their way” to conservatism.
The VAST MAJORITY of people ON THIS SITE have NO PROBLEM in telling people how to deal with ILLEGALS...yet virtually every candidate we seem to come up with has this major spiritual and personal struggle on the issue.
I WILL NOT support another GEORGE BUSH, and as long as we have choice, I don’t have to.
I like Byron York and was dismayed by Walker’s answer on IMF but then I realized that most people in D. C., no matter what their pay grade, don’t know what the Ex-Im bank is. I do and would like to shutter it.
The ‘Republican Establishment’.
Time to implode this barrier to good, honest true Conservative government.
They dish up offal like Dole, McCain, Romney as though they didn’t intend to win anyway.
Scott Walker is the ‘real deal’ amongst all other Republican potential candidates.
