Over the last three months, the GOP's Iowa front-runner has become an incredible, shrinking presence on the campaign trail. Sure, he's still touring the country, introducing himself to voters, telling them how unafraid he was to stand up to the unions and liberal protesters he battled in Wisconsin, but he's also ducking out of uncontrolled situations, skipping questions from the press, and spending more time on small or private events, usually packed with friendly crowds. Last week, when he traveled to Israel — usually an occasion to invite reporters or hold a press conference — Walker held no press events. The same was true last month when he went to Europe. He skipped the press on a recent tour of the Mexico border, at a campaign stop in South Carolina, and even at a local chamber of commerce event in his home state of Wisconsin.....
...There’s a common feeling among Iowa GOP insiders that, as prominent Iowa social conservative Bob Vander Plaats put it to me, “his campaign intentionally put in the clutch,” on Walker’s meteoric rise, for two reasons: One, to manage his momentum going into 2016 and keep him from peaking too early. The other, to give the candidate time to prepare for the scrutiny that being a front-runner brings. .....
Update: Walker's campaign vigorously denies that he has been less accessible to the press, and sent along a list detailing a number of interviews he's given over the last two months, including with local reporters in Iowa and New Hampshire and with conservative outlets. The campaign did not respond to initial requests for comment regarding Walker's media availability.

What will you say, when walker STABS YOU ON THE BACK BY VOTING FOR AMNESTY ?
You must be the most clueless person on FR. Explain to me how Walker is going to vote for Amnesty? What position does he have that makes him vote on anything? Are you just naive or are you severely mentally impaired. It is one or the other because you are not very bright.
Have you ever listened to TED CRUZ ?
That’s why you support him? He can give a good speech. That’s why we have Obama you know....cuz he was able to give a good speech and the fans just melted. I hate talkers because of Obama. I want a doer who gets things done. Everyone is wondering why Cruz is out hamming it up with the press while Walker is out of sight. Well for one thing it is not important for Cruz to do his job everyday. it is EVERY important for Walker to do his job everyday.
No your just dumb thinking that Walker can vote for anything. What grade are you that you are so ignorant on politics and how voting for a bill works. I think you used to be reasonable but now your just wacky and don’t know a thing. Thank goodness most on this thread agree with me.
Well see. If nothing else, I at least know that Governor Walker will NOT for voting for Amnesty like you seems to stupidly think. Oh how I feel so sorry for your innocent stupidity. Your too stupid to even know how dumb you look. I will pray for you because you need it desperately.
OK, so you don't like Walker. Let me give you a clue. I, and I suspect many others, don't read stuff that is obviously prepared offline and then copied and pasted to every thread. So if you want me to read the bad stuff you have on Walker, type it in like the rest of us do.
Strange that Wisconsin’s Gov Dewey chose a socialist term for the state’s motto, back in in the 1850’s. Maybe he didn’t realize the connotation/connection.
State Motto: “Forward”
Adopted: 1851
In 1851, Governor Dewey had asked UW Chancellor John Lathrop to design a new state seal. It is alleged that the motto was selected during a chance meeting between Governor Dewey and Edward Ryan when the governor went to New York City to have the new seal engraved. Ryan objected to the Latin motto “Excelsior”, which Lathrop proposed. According to tradition, Dewey and Ryan sat on the steps of a Wall Street bank and designed a new seal, choosing “Forward” as the motto.

When you really start looking, it’s shocking how many COMMUNISTS we have in the United States.
My candidate is Ted Cruz. You can check my posts and verify that if you are as skeptical as you are stupid.
Regardless of which candidate you now support, I'm just saying that being civil to fellow conservatives is something we should try during this primary cycle.
In your case, because of your mental condition, you can have one USS Alaska free "passes because of stupidity" so you can continue with your ranting a vitriolic one sided screeds.
Have a good Memorial Day from a Vet to a yo-semite-st.
Now WHY are you defending Walker?
Because if Cruz doesn't make it, I want an alternative to hildabutchbitch.
I know you are all in for Cruz, but there are 15 candidates and no guarantees that Ted will win, as your selection does not make it happen.
I guess you would go door to door rounding up all illegals and deport every last one of them WELL GOOD LUCK with that solution!!!!!!
Either that, or bury them when they fall.
