Why Scott Walker Won’t Take a Position on the US Accepting Refugees

No wonder he has become a non-entity.

[DaxtonBrown]

“I’m not president today and I can’t be president today,”

Appears he doesn’t want to be president tomorrow either.

[Reno89519]

Yes, and he will NEVER be president. Loser needs to quit before he completely destroys what’s left of his reputation.

[FlingWingFlyer]

“Hundreds” signing some goofy petition/mailing list does not mean that Americans want these “refugees” here. Why would we want people who run rather than stand up and fight for their country? We’ve already got some of those here.

[ilgipper]

I do not understand what’s happened to Walker. He has lost any compass in this race. He was my first choice, but he is going to fade out of memory soon if he doesn’t offer something coherent on anything.

[NeoCaveman]

I do not understand what’s happened to Walker.

My guess is the consultants got a hold of him, and ruined him.

[Tupelo]

Yup
Giving a slimy politician’s answer to a serious policy question is, in my mind the best way ever to lose any election.

[C19fan]

The idiot could of said something like we have accepted millions of refugees from the Western Hemisphere and places like Southeast Asia.

[circlecity]

"Walker’s reason for not taking a stand is that he says it would be hypothetical for him to do so since he is not currently the president."

What a disingenuous response. The majority of the questions any candidate gets (and answers) are hypothetical "what would you do" type questions.

[Bigtigermike]

This x 1000!

And to top that it’s a lot of establishment consultants that are advising him. He’s a idiot for hiring them

[Bobalu]

I’m tired of hearing this guys name!

Please make it stop!

Go back to Wisconsin and STFU!

[zerosix]

He has to have been given $$$$$ from the big “e” and assured a top spot in consideration for the V.P. (Like Rubio)

[Fester Chugabrew]

Hypothetical questions are the media’s favorite “gotcha” theme. “What about cases of rape and incest?”

[zerosix]

That and/or he was sent "political helpers" from DC!

Those "political consultants" are still reading the same play books that lost the Dole, McCain and Romney races, yet still get invited to the same parties and treated as though they've actually accomplished something!

[samtheman]

It’s a phony gotcha question but he could have handled it better than this.

Why Scott Walker Won’t Take a Position on the US Accepting Refugees

Because he hasn't yet crafted a position that brings him down firmly on both sides of the issue.

[KeyLargo]

Mark Steyn on talk radio this morning said that this wave of 'refugees' is nothing like after WWII where whole families moved. Mark said that the numbers now show that 75% of those flooding into Europe are young males.

[Don Corleone]

The US Accepting Refugees

Thus facilitating what is now becoming a SILENT INVASION.

[Paine in the Neck]

My guess is the consultants got a hold of him, and ruined him.

This is probably the case. It should be added, though, that he hired the consultants and he listened to them. As a (former) Walker supporter I'm very disappointed that he appears not to have the internal compass or the spine that he was touted as having.
