Republicans for POTUS, 2016 Edition

Scott Walker was pro-amnesty thinking before he was against it.

National Review reported last week that as Milwaukee county executive, Walker signed a 2002 resolution backing comprehensive immigration reform. A Walker spokesperson told the magazine that the resolution Walker signed was actually watered down from a more strongly pro-reform draft, but the resolution called for “greater opportunity for undocumented working immigrants to obtain legal residency in the United States.”

Four years later, Gabriel Debenedetti reports, Walker signed another resolution expressing support for the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act, a comprehensive reform bill authored by Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and John McCain (R-AZ). Conservatives derided the measure as “amnesty,” with the Heritage Foundation arguing that the Kennedy-McCain legislation “undercuts the rule of law by rewarding those who have acted wrongly and will only encourage further illegal entry.”
 
That's exactly what it is.

This won't get it done as it failed the last time. Christie would have been a better choice but he'd get run by Hillary also.

I feel kind of like Bob does, let's give these wing nuts their day and have them send Carson, Huckabee, Rand, etc. as the nominee and they will understand real quick what landslide means.

The math on the map is really just so bad for the Pubs there really is no right answer here.
 
What is Jeb going to run on? What did as governor of Florida 2.5 terms ago? It's not like people view Florida as some major success story. I don't think he has to get name recognition out there. His Republican opponents will attack ad themselves.

He's definitely rusty. Jeb seemed a lot sharper and more crisp in interviews 5 to 10 years ago. Seems nervous and not real confident/decisive now. W and his dad both had problems with jacked up syntax. Jeb's much better than both of them, but he does have a hint of the same family public speaking problem.
 
Also, Scott Walker makes a lot of NAME REDACTED faces.

You can say similar things about Hillary. Running unopposed or lightly opposed isn't going to help either.
 
oh right, that's his nightmare. :rolleyes:

at what age does a person realize they're an insignificant speck in the universe?

There has been one Clinton in the White House. It isn't like that is a DC family dynasty or anything.
 
Exactly. The nightmare wouldn't be over. A Bush or Clinton would still be in the White House.....just like they were (as either president or vice president) for 28 straight years from 1980 thru 2008.

And don't even get us started on another ADAMS becoming President.
 
Another bloom off Scott Walker's rose.

(Bloomberg) -- Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, facing a $283 million deficit that needs to be closed by the end of June, will skip more than $100 million in debt payments to balance the books thrown into disarray by his tax cuts.
The move comes as Walker, 47, mounts a 2016 bid for the Republican presidential nomination, and while his state is under stress from a projected shortfall that could exceed $2 billion in the two-year budget beginning in July.
 
He got some splaining to do

Not sure what's to explain. He gave out a bunch of tax cuts. They didn't lead to growth. So he's slashing the budget in ways that don't impact the people who got tax cuts and he's using tricks to balance the budget.

And don't forget that while slashing the budget of the state's flagship university he is also proposing to help a NBA team's rich owner build a new arena with tax payer money. Priorities.
