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 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.
