Scott Walker Attacks Voters Who Don't Support Him as Angry and Hateful

The writing on the wall in Wisconsin has Scott Walker
alarmed, already demonizing Wisconsinites for not
supporting his political candidacy.

Updated - Madison, Wisconsin — Scott Walker took his show on the road in April flying across the state to campaign events at which the career pol chided Wisconsinites not supporting his candidacy as agents of anger and hatred, (Gilbert, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).

This is a continuation of Walker's assault against non-Walker-aligned citizens whom he presented as evidence he should be president. Walker infamously compared protesting families whom he "took on" to ISIS in his ill-fated run for the presidency in 2015.

Scott Walker's evoking god as the sanctioning authority for his campaign is a warning to the real decision-makers in our democracy, the voters, nevertheless judged by Walker by virtue of their allegiance to him.

In 2014, the last time Walker ran for governor, Walker promised to serve four years, then reneged on this promise to Wisconsin, citing "God's plan" that included Walker's subsequent run for president, begun in July-August 2015.

God rescinded his support for Scott Walker nine weeks later in Sept 2015, reportedly telling Walker: he was "being called to lead by helping to clear the race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field," (Mal Contends).

Who knew god was so concerned with Republican Party politics and the fate of politicians? Scott Walker said he did.

We should not be surprised Walker holds Wisconsin citizens in such disdain that he rigs elections through gerrymandering, blocking elections and obstructing voters when this very same pol is so delusional he claims political mandates from god.

So, anti-god Wisconsinites are now described as hateful and angry.

Did Scott Walker ever consider voters simply are judging him and finding him to be a corrupt charlatan?

In any event, politicians claiming a divine mandate should be a red flag to Americans of any stripe.

Voters rejecting Scott Walker's divisive and corrupt politics should be respected and listened to, not branded, derided and demonized.

Scott Walker Bows to Stop-Trump Movement

Wisconsin Republicans have joined the stop-Donald Trump movement.

Following an anti-Trump editorial in this morning's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and a Trump appearance on Milwaukee talk radio, the Charlie Sykes show, met with hostility towards Trump, Scott Walker said he too is endorsing Trump's opponent, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Walker's endorsement comes eight days after early voting began. Early in-person absentee voting began on March 21 in Wisconsin. Election Day in April 5.

Reports Ben Kamisar at The Hill:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has endorsed Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz in an effort block Donald Trump in next week’s primary.

Walker on Tuesday called Cruz 'a principled constitutional conservative who can win.'

A note to readers: Scott Walker is not a student of the United States Constitution.

Forty-two Republican delegates are at stake in Wisconsin, (270 to win), awarded by congressional district and the winner of the state.

Reports the Green Papers on Wisconsin

Republican delegate allocation:

Tuesday 5 April 2016: All 42 of Wisconsin's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in ... Wisconsin Presidential Primary.

•  24 district delegates are to be allocated to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the 8 congressional districts: each congressional district is assigned 3 National Convention delegates and the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in that district will receive all 3 of that district's National Convention delegates. [Republican Party of Wisconsin Constitution Article X Section 5.]
• 18 at-large delegates (10 base at-large delegates plus 5 bonus delegates plus 3 RNC delegates) are to be bound to the presidential contender receiving the greatest number of votes in the primary statewide. [Republican Party of Wisconsin Constitution Article X Section 6.]

Cruz enjoys a light advantage in recent polls.

'Run Away'—Scott Walker Haunts State and National Republicans

When Scott Walker ran for the Republican nomination for the presidency, it didn't take long, (nine weeks), for the political world to discover Walker is a delusional, deceitful hick, before God "called" Walker back to Wisconsin.

Walker is toxic, and state and national candidates are using Walker as an example of what not to be.

"Now we focus our attention on Wisconsin, a state Governor Scott Walker has turned into ground zero for the fight for workers' rights, women’s rights, and voting rights," notes Bernie Sanders in a fundraising email today.

Hillary Clinton often brings up Walker when blasting Republicans running for the presidency.

Walker has not endorsed any Republican for president and I don't think any candidate wants his endorsement prior to the April 5 Wisconsin presidential primary, anymore than proposing to build a 5,525-mile wall between Canada and the U.S. as a policy initiative.

Write Daniel Bice and Mary Spicuzza in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel this morning:

Gov. Scott Walker isn't on the ballot this spring.

But tell that to all of the candidates who seem to be running against Walker — or from him — in the lead-up to the April 5 election.

Left-of-center candidates and interest groups are using Walker's name and mug in TV and radio ads, fliers and even political debates in an effort to tie their opponents to the governor and his sinking approval ratings.

No matter what Walker says publicly he has lost the support of independents, and his favorable support remains in the 30s.

God may be calling Walker to contemplate upping his appearances on the national stage, (Berg, Real Clear Politics), observers guess, but few candidates are asking for Scott Walker's blessing.

Scott Walker on CNN—"I’m willing to take on anyone"

Scott Walker is one tough guy.

Facing a campaign meltdown, Walker appears to be trying to become the character, Alex 'Tig' Trager, in Sons of Anarchy (TM and ©2015 FX Networks, LLC) riding a Harley around and killing people who give SAMCRO a bad time.

That was a fun show, but you know, it was television.

Check out Raw Story's report of Walker's interview today on CNN in which Walker says, "I’m willing to take on anyone," after refusing to answer the question stating the Koch brothers are a "special interest."

Note to Scott Walker, you're going have to grow up, man. Below, Scott Walker's new face in the mirror this week:

Scott Walker—"I’m the one they fear most"

Scott Walker - They fear me
most. And I want more
military spending because
I'm strong, bold, and brave!

"I’m the one they [non-GOP general election voters] fear most." (Hahn, Des Moines Register)

Thus spake Scott Walker in Tipton, Iowa this weekend.

Scott, don't you know that in the field of whacks, most of America would love for the Republican Party to offer you up as the nominee?

Don't you know that?

By now you have been advised of many political writers questioning your viability as a candidate for the presidency, saying you lack the intelligence and the policy knowledge.

A bold proposal

How about you come to Madison, Wisconsin and hold your first unscripted, town-hall-style meeting with no screenings of questions or people?

A Wisconsin resident comes up to the mic and asks you a question, and leaves (within the realm of reason) when she or he is satisfied you actually answered the question. Follow-up questions are encouraged.

And the press is invited afterwards to ask you about your performance. How about it, Scott? Be bold.

Scott Walker Tumbles to Three Percent in Iowa in Latest Poll

First to 10th in Less Than Two Months of the Official 'Scott Walker for America' Launch

John McCormick reports on Scott Walker's free fall to the bottom in Iowa today.

McCormick writes:

Scott Walker, the one-time Republican front-runner in Iowa, has taken a precipitous fall in a new poll of those likely to vote in the first presidential nomination contest on Feb. 1.

The Wisconsin governor, who is set to campaign in Iowa this weekend, was backed by just 3 percent of likely Iowa caucus participants in the latest Quinnipiac University poll. (Bloomberg Politics)

Maybe the good GOP-voting folks in Iowa didn't notice the narrow-shouldered governor riding through New Hampshire on a Harley Davidson earlier this week.

Walker's tough, unintimidated and never backs down—just like the character, Alex 'Tig' Trager, in Sons of Anarchy (TM & ©2015 FX Networks, LLC). Maybe that's who Walker wants to be when he grows up.

Hillary Clinton ridiculed the plummeting Walker in Milwaukee yesterday: "It seems to me, just observing him, that Governor Walker thinks because he busts unions, starves universities, guts public education, demeans women, scapegoats teachers, nurses and firefighters, he's some kind of tough guy on his motorcycle." (CBS News)

Hillary has Walker down, though she did omit the fact Walker is a lightweight, pathological liar and coward.

"[T]hroughout his career, Walker didn’t have to deal with a [national] media that never hesitated to declare him dumb, dull, or dead at the first whiff of a gaffe," notes Jack Craver in The Atlantic.

Scott Walker is Wisconsin's problem again. The nation took a whiff and is leaving Walker for the crows.

Scott Walker Lacks the Intelligence to Serve as President

Scott Walker stumped again as he does nothing to dispel
doubts about his intelligence while campaigning
in New Hampshire. From the Chris Hayes Show

Scott Walker: "There is no such thing as a hypothetical."
-
I thought there were hypotheticals—instructive to understanding what would/should occur in future circumstances.

Typically, when Scott Walker serves up a non-sequitur and incoherent response to the rare question to which he replies in public, a spokesperson and Milwaukee's talk radio step up to clarify what Walker meant to say.

But c'mon Wisconsin Republicans, admit it: Walker lacks the intellect to be president.

Walker—facing plummeting poll numbers and feeling the heat "he has raised questions about if he is actually smart enough to run for president," in the words of a New Hampshire Republican, (Glueck, The Politico)—humiliated himself again trying to respond to an ABC News reporter during a press gaggle Monday in Rochester.

Campaigning in New Hampshire on Labor Day, Scott Walker offered a ridiculous and contradictory response when pressed about what he would do to handle the Syrian Migrant-Refugee crisis. [Segment - All In with Chris Hayes 9/8/15 - 2016 candidates skip specifics on refugee crisis]

In a video (below) of a 2:54-minute segment, Walker became testy with an ABC News reporter and veered once again into incoherence asserting, "There is no such thing as a hypothetical," before offering his opinion of what "people need to do" when he assumed the office of the presidency in January 2017.

Walker should perhaps learn what conditional questions, subjunctive moods and hypotheticals really are.

If a candidate for public office takes the position that no hypothetical questions may be responded to because she or he has not assumed office, what is to become of the campaign pledge, promise and assurance? What about public policy? It can't be discussed because it has not been enacted yet?

Jordyn Phelps of ABC News offers:

As Europe grapples with the mass migration of more than 300,000 refugees fleeing war in Syria, Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker won’t say whether the United States should open its doors to absorb more of the migrants.

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. 

A transcript of the exchange is below:

ABC News Reporter: What would you do to address the migrants who are currently fleeing into Europe? Does (sic), should the U.S. accept some of those migrants into the country?

Scott Walker: "Well, again the problem is we're ignoring the basis of the core of the problem. The problem is this president has had a weak stance in terms of taking on ISIS."

ABC News Reporter: But to follow up, if you were president today, what would you do?

Scott Walker: "I'm not president today, and I can't be president today. I'm going to be president in January of 2017 and I'm telling you what people need to do. Everybody wants to talk about hypotheticals. There is no such thing as a hypothetical."

[Notes Jaime Fuller in New York Magazine: "(This is) a sentence that probably would have moved Socrates to set Walker's pants on fire himself." Note to Mr Fuller: See Walker's May 2015 "That's a hypothetical question in the past. We're going to talk about the future," before Walker rushed away from a group of reporters in Michigan. (Mal Contends and Bloomberg Politics News, Scott Walker Tiptoes Past Michigan Reporters' Most Common Question). Hypothetically, I think Socrates would have poisoned Scott Walker out of exasperation.]

ABC News Reporter: Governor, the fact that these refugees need a place to go is not a hypothetical, and Pope Francis has even come in and said that countries need to help them. I mean, should the U.S. play an active role?

Scott Walker:  "Again. I'm taking about what I'll do as president ... that will be a year and half from now."
---
In terms of being president were such a phenomenon to take place, Scott Walker does not, like, know what he should do because of his new epistemological rule: "There is no such thing as a hypothetical." Or is this a new new metaphysics discovered on the presidential campaign trail, 2015? The Bradley Center is calling you, Scott Walker.

Scott Walker's Latest Nonsequitur: On Virginia Killings

WDBJ-TV reporter, Alison Parker and
cameraman, Adam Ward

Scott Walker's vacuity has begun to show in the weeks following his July announcement for the presidency as must-win Iowa is slipping away.

Walker's latest incoherent and inane judgment is Walker's response to Hillary Clinton's condemnation of the Virgina gun killings and her call for murder-control measures (LA Times). Clinton made her comments outside of Des Moines Wednesday. (Bauer, AP; Yahoo News)

In response, Walker said, "It's unfortunate that all too often we've seen from people like Hillary Clinton a political reaction to something that's much more sophisticated and challenging than that."

Multiple murders are not "sophisticated," another poor word choice by the wanna-be president.

Two Milwaukee TV stations have now suspended live field coverage after the on-air killings.

Clinton's call for a public policy change, opposed by the National Rifle Association which gives Walker an A+ rating, echoes that of the murdered WDBJ-TV reporter's (Alison Parker) father, Alan Parker, (Reuters) and Ms. Parker's boyfriend (CNN), and Clinton's own past statements as a U.S. senator from New York.

WDBJ-TV cameraman, Adam Ward, was also killed.

Walker is a lightweight, and the nation—along with the Republican Party—are coming to this realization.

It's already known that Walker the lifelong politician never attempts to speak or use the government of the Wisconsin people without making a political calculation.

In the face of this horrific murder, it ought to be clear Scott Walker is an ass, and indecent to carry the NRA's water as more families grieve.
