I like walker because...

[S.J.]

So, is it not in the voters interest to know a candidate is beholden to a kook cult special interest group?

Walker's groupies are a lot like Walker. They cry when things get a little tough.

Looks like somebody's afraid of Walker.

It has become that I only glance at these threads to laugh at the liberals who still think there is even a slight chance George Soros will allow his tame Democrat Party to nominate Mrs. Rodham-Clinton/Lewinski for anything other than a dirt nap.

 

[S.J.]

Walker has won election and reelection three times in four years in a blue state and has managed to get things done. For the people who are sick of Washington gridlock this has real appeal.

Blue State? Walker has GOP control of both Houses to work with, in other words a Rubber Stamp legislature. Also, much like Washington, there is a bitter divide between the GOP and the Dems.
Trust me, if the Dems had control of just one of the Houses, Walker wouldn't been able to cover his ass and push back paying the due short term debt so he could claim a balanced budget.

Going into the 2010 midterms the Dems had control of both those Houses and the Governorship though the incumbent governor had decided not to run for reelection and it went for Obama in 2012 so I would say it's reasonable to say if not now until recently it had been a blue state and could go back to one. Since Walkers election in 2010 the Democrats have had two chances to vote him out and failed both times to do so given that it seems the people of Wisconsin must feel he is doing something right.

Considering, thanks to the recession, Minnesota was in worse shape (2 billion more in the red, But now there is no comparison, Minnesta is so far ahead in about every economic sense than our neighbor who once was called our twin, Wisconsin is lagging nationally economically.
For the life of me I can't figure out the attraction to Walker. Kasich is a much better candidate with a superior resume

That's because you're a liberal.

Actually, I'm moderate. But then cons classify anyone to the left of them as liberals.
Now back to my post, prove me wrong. You can't.
Secondly, Kasich is far superior than Walker, as his resume clearly shows. All Walker has going for him is that he made a name for himself minimizing unions. Economically, no one can say he has been a success when comparing him to the other 49 governors.

"
Walker really hasn't done that great of a job for Wisconsin's economy.
The state had to defer payment of short-term debt payments to erase a budget short fall. Wisconsin rates 40th in private sector job growth.
Bottom-line is that Wisconsin is lagging behind the nation economically."

Thats about right. Minnesota is kicking our rears and we are headed to being like mississippi. Walker is a Koch puppet who adores the uber wealthy. He really lost me when he decided that it was okay to give my tax dollars to the milwaukee bucks to build a new arena. Now if that tanks at all, the taxpayers get to pay even more of the bill. But hey the millionaire owners are happy. Living here I can attest the state is in no better shape than it was. Even Trump can see it. Kasich is my choice. Smarter, more personable, and a stronger leader.

Like she blew away that boy who should have been serving coffee to Bill and Teddy?

"Boy"?

Yeah, you're not racist.

 

[mamooth]

Trump is pulling from Walker's support, hence why Bush encourages Trump. Bush thinks Walker is his real competition. He knows Trump flames out eventually, but he takes support from Walker while he's still in it.

Even though these are not real debates I'm interested in seeing Cruz in action.

I respect Alan Dershowitz's intellect, smarts and whatnot but disagree with his liberalism, defending OJ and other stuff, but I'm intrigued about his comments about the Cruz he knew at Harvard. Ranked him the smartest guy he'd come across and the best debater to boot.

Obama won the moderate vote in 2008 by 20 pts.

Moderates are left of center by a wide margin. A good many of them should step up and admit they are liberals.

Also, as much as so many of his supporters like to point south when comparing his state to its neighbors, they don't seem to eager to point west.

 

[EriktheRed]

Let's see if he even wins his own state in a Presidential election.

 

[EriktheRed]

I like Walker because he would lose by more than 10 points to Hillary. Yes, I like him.

Make it twenty:

I wouldn't be sure about that.

Again, elections are not decided by partisans. Yes, we all know the union thugs and Democrats just hate Walker, maybe for good reason, maybe not.

But at the end of the day, this election is going to be decided by that 10% in the middle who don't live and breathe this stuff like we do here. They vote for the guy they'd like to have a beer with.

So you've got Walker, who has solid, midwestern roots, vs. Hillary who just comes off as shrill much of the time.

I wouldn't vote for Bush, Cruz, Trump or most of the rest of the GOP Clown car.

I'd give serious consideration to voting for Walker or Rubio.

The GOP will probably blow it and nominate Bush, but Walker shouldn't be dismissed.

In the end, it will be a 3-5% win by whomever wins. We're just that divided.
As for your consideration of Walker or Rubio, his lack of a college degree in this complex world doesn't give you a moment's pause?

Harvard educated elitist assholes have done enough damage.

Most of America does not see fit to graduate from college, why should they expect a President to?

 

[EriktheRed]

I like him because he has shown leadership in doing what he promised to do.

He is on my short list for pres

I like him because liberals hate him.

Seems like that's his main message for electing him, too.

"I like walker because... " he ain't Hillary.

 

[Pete7469]

Why is that question even being asked? How retarded are you that this matters?

I'm not sure mammouth's level of retardation can be measured, as it seems to be constantly increasing just as scientists believe the universe is expanding.

Perhaps that is why the universe is expanding, to make room for the vast and increasingly awsome depth of liberal ignorance. It's like a black hole of ignorance. No amount of logic or reason can penetrate it.

 

[Pete7469]

Actually he's an idiot. That's why he is a liberal.

These bed wetters also "think" that anyone to the right of them is a nazi, even though they themselves promote many of the same philosophies as the national socialist workers party did.

I've been a Cruz fan since he challenged Dewhurst the RINO for the senate seat. He is an inspiring orator and can speak at great length about conservative principles without teleprompters or any sort of feed. I've seen videos of him destroying libtards like Diane Fienslime and really getting that evil bitch's hair to stand up. He is my top pick for the office, but Paul or Walker would still be acceptible.

Any of those three guys are certain too roll back libtard idiocy and return power to the states.
