After telling an NBC reporter unambiguously that he supported ending birthright citizenship, Scott Walker on Friday changed his mind, saying his new position is that he has no position, that he is now undecided again. He's saying that this isn't a reversal, merely that he misspoke because he was tired.
How do you misspeak support for ending birthright citizenship? Look at this video where he is clearly asked whether he would end it, and Walker says, "Yeah, absolutely." No ambiguity there. This is not a minor, technical issue. This is not a slip of the tongue. Scott Walker was clearly saying last week that he supported ending the mechanism that creates anchor babies. Now he's changed his mind. Here's his position on the issue for August 21st:
“I’m not taking a position one way or the other,” Walker said in an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood. “I’m saying that until you secure the border and enforce the laws, any discussion about anything else is really looking past the very things we have to do.”

Well we are a debtor nation, but at least we are still a nation. If uncontrolled immigration continues much longer we will not be a nation.
Walker comes across to me as draft dodging political hack that lived back in my WWII days. I can just imagine a tired Scott Walker giving the command to use or not to use our nuclear capabilities in defense of the US.
The only reason this nation hasn’t disintegrated entirely over the past 20 years is paving over massive cultural conflicts with even more massive amounts of money. When the money disappears, all that was suppressed will come out, all at once.
" THAT'S the man we want in the White House Situation Room!!!"
Post of the thread, LOL.

The problem is nobody knows what “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” means. It is a legal term, and it should be explained for lay people more.
None of the first 50 responding to this hit Walker piece with the exception of myself were from Wisconsin.It became contested as to meaning and when you have a bunch of local talk show hosts ; In Wisconsin’s case Charlie Sykes, and Jerry Bader led nationally by Michael Medved challaging another talk show host Mark Levin about what it doesn’t mean . A local candidate is going to respond pretty much the way Walker did. when he gets button holed by a socialist partisan posing as a reporter. In clarifying his position though he should have stated that he doesn’t believe foreigners and illegals have the right to dump their pregnant mates off in the US to have their baby and it become a citizen, Which I predict he will do soon as a point of clarification.
It’s not being reported but Walker is at odds with certain key national figures from Wisconsin on conservative issues and had taken a slap at legislative bodies in not following up on what the people wanted which went ignored . As the campaign continues those differences will emerge. Right now the focus is all on Trump.
Waffles!
That is one fine looking waffle, I will have two please.

When will the GOP figure out we need a strong leader, not just another politician? To me, that is why Trump, Carson and Fiorina, the three non-politicians, have lots of traction.
The only candidate with rock solid conservative views AND ACTIONS in the political arena is Ted Cruz. He has a record of standing up to the establishment on these and other important issues.
Some fault him in his previous stand on H1Bs but at the same time he wanted to ensure that the employers were forced to prove there was no one else available and that they will pay more than the going wage. I believe he has since modified that position.
But on all other issues from Obamacare to FastTrack trade to Planned Parenthood funding and in between Ted has deep conservative positions has done more than just talk.
Walker needs to contact Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona & spend some serious time with him.
He needs to see the problem up close-—not from the Ivory Tower of Madison.
I was born in Madison & raised in Middleton.
After over 40 years of living in California, I am pretty sure I know more about the illegal problem than he does & if Scott doesn’t aquaint himself with the problem up close & in person, he will make an ass of himself. This has to be seen with his own eyes——NOT a member of his STAFF.
Adios, Scotty! Beam him up!
I remember when people were all excited about Fred Thompson. Then in the first debate he hemmed and hawed the entire time and his numbers went to zero.
I remember when people were all excited about Rick Perry. Then in the first debate he forgot where he was and his numbers tanked.
Both were all hat and no cattle.
I remember when people were all excited about Walker, and some still are, and we’re about to see him fall into obscurity.
I loved when Trump told about Bush’s first few days in office when he says he’s going to do something then some guy who gave him $8 million calls him and reminds him of the donation and Bush changes his mind. That’s exactly the way it works. What’s funny is Trump is telling this and saying “I should know. I’ve bought a lot of them.”
I get your point and you may be right. But I remember when folks in California clamored for Schwarzenegger and turned down long-serving Tom Tancredo.
IMHO, Fred Thompson was egged into the race. He filed and started late and, as you say, hemmed and hawed himself into oblivion.
Rick Perry is a different man here in Texas. I get the impression, too, JMO, that people are pushing him into an arena he really doesn’t want to be in.
Maybe it’s the same with Walker. But he tested the waters in Iowa long before Trump thought about going there. We know he can fight and win. He proved it in Wisconsin with the MSM, rent-a-mobs arrayed, and a Dem machine arrayed against him. It’s up to him to show the grit he has to everyone who wasn’t paying attention before.
We’re over a year from the first primary, so no votes have been cast. A lot can happen before then. I’m not ready to write him off yet.
I would prefer he stay in Wisconsin as governor.”
IMO he really should get out now before he screws everything up and finds himself ending up losing re-election as Governor as well.
Would not building an impenetrable wall secure the border? I favor such a wall.
Bumping in case I need this
