And I don’t want a president who is not prepared to act on day one. So, as far as me, as far as my position, I’m going to be prepared to be president on day one.

I can make an argument that the morons are the ones leaving school after four years with six figures of debt for an overpriced, overvalued product. Just because you go to college it doesn't mean you are an intelligent person and vice versa.

Not sure I will support him, but it is tempting given my desire to see the GOP establishment destroyed. I may vote for him just so I can express my hatred toward the Boehner's and McConnells of the world.
And if he runs as a third party candidate and allows a Dem to win. So be it. Serves the GOP right for its failings.
He left his senior year.

Scott Walker is the governor of a state, has executive experience, and has survived multiple challenges to his office. How many pompous academics in their ivory towers can say the same?

His statement is hypothetical, not a battle plan. Evidently reading comprehension is not part of college curriculums these days either.

Look guys, I'm a fan of Obama's deal with Iran. But even if I weren't, it's simply not realistic to go to war with Iran. That would be a catastrophe that would make our excursion into Iraq look like a picnic. And to me, it's highly disturbing that Walker would even insinuate that this could happen on day 1 of his presidency, much less that it's "very possible".
I've done nothing but praise Walker in this thread. Though I disagree with him politically on many items, I wrote that he was well-qualified and one of the strongest candidates the Republicans have. Now I'm beginning to doubt that. These comments are very dangerous IMO and suggest that he's not ready for prime time.

How is his policy different from Hillary's or Obama's?
Obama repeated throughout 2008, 2012, and since, that military options were on the table. Hillary after the Iran deal has said that the deal must be vigorously monitored and in her speech advocating war with Iraq she explicitly brought Iraq's failure to allow inspections during Bill Clinton's terms as part of the basis for going to war with them.

Footballguy
Like any responsible President,Obama and Hillary would use military force as a last resort. We're not close to that, and we won't be in January of 2017.To suggest that such a thing is very likely is highly irresponsible and dangerous.
So he says something similar to what Obama and Hillary said, and he's irresponsible and dangerous? I'd be willing to bet that it wouldn't be the first card he played on January 20th, but it's rather a contingency plan.

You don't know this any better than those who are claiming we will be.

I can see the interpretation being presented by Tim and yourself, but I'm not sure that interpretation says as much about Walker as it does about you guys. I can only imagine what the responses to "it depends on the circumstances" would be from the peanut gallery, even though I think that's a much better response.

New polling shows Bush/Walker/Rubio ahead of Clinton in VA, Iowa and Colorado. Assuming no red states turn from 2012, brings the numbers to 304-234, meaning the Rs still need to pick up 36 electoral votes somewhere.
Florida alone wouldn't be enough, but Florida+Wisconsin would be.
Can Rubio carry Florida at the bottom of the ticket? Would Walker take being VP to carry Wisconsin?

Seriously though, there are 16 R candidates and I can say unequivocally that I would not vote for 12 of them. The only three who strike me as not-totally-crazy are Pataki, Bush, and Christie. I don't know enough about Kasich to have an opinion. Pataki has no chance and I don't think I could vote for a Bush at this point. I suppose I'd consider Christie. It's pretty sad that this is the best the R's can do.

I find it odd that people would be happy about Gary Johnson and not Rand Paul.
Johnson is a utilitarian libertarian and Paul is a fusionist. Both have a lot in common, even if they came from totally different philosophical positions. I, of course, personally like most of Paul's stances better, but can also get behind a Johnson run just on policy recommendations alone.

It doesn't surprise me that you would write this, but it saddens me that many seem to agree with you.Slapdash said:
Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker , Marco Rubio, John Kasich, and Chris Christie are all candidates with the necessary experience and gravitas to be President of the United States. Although I disagree with several of these (and Walker and Rubio scare me a little with their foreign policy pronouncements) I think that overall any of them would be a good President. I support Hillary because I believe she will be better than good; she will be excellent.
Anyone running who is not on the list I just mentioned does not, IMO, have the necessary experience and/or gravitas to be President.

What do you see in Christie that you like? I've asked a few on here why they like him but I haven't gotten an answer. One thing's for sure, you won't find many people in NJ who like him for president. And I voted for him in his first election.
timschochet
Footballguy
From an outside perspective, I think he's done a pretty good job with New Jersey. I really liked how he handled Hurricane Sandy (in contrast to the Louisiana governor in 2005.) I also thought it was wise of him to try and tackle the pension issue- though that might hurt the state's economy in the short term, it should help it in the long term.
I'm not in love with Christie and I probably won't vote for him. But I do think he's qualified to be President.
Amused to Death
Footballguy
He handled the initial crisis well, but many people still have not received their money. He's completely botched the pension issue. First he passed a new law back in '11(?) and touted his ability to work towards fixing it - even used it as an example of how he can work with Dems. That deal included pubic workers increase their contribution, and they have. Now he says the State can't make its negotiated contributions and has reneged claiming his '11 law violates the State constitution. How convenient. Gets the workers to contribute more but can't pay his own share.
State's economy? NJ ranks 45th. One of the lowest states for job growth trailing both PA & NY. Our bond rating has been lowered a record 9 times under Christie - mostly due to his mishandling of the pensions.
NJ won an $8B judgement against Exxon Mobile, but he settled for $254 Mil. Remember the State's broke, but let the oil company off the hook.
Our transportation trust fund is broke but he won't do anything to address it (we have one of the lowest state gas tax in the country). Meanwhile we have bridges falling apart to the point they are being closed. There's an existing bridge in north Jersey that's been in design for replacement for years. I'll say 8 or more years in design. Keeps getting shut down due to lack of funding, then restarted for a bit, shut down again, etc. Last fall it was inspected again and immediately shut down because they were afraid it could no longer sustain the weight of a heavy snow plus the plow without collapsing onto the railroad below. The infrastructure in NJ is in bad shape and out of money. But candidate Christie needs to show he won't raise taxes, so nothing is done.
Christie made his reputation by hugging Obama and telling a teacher to sit down and shut up. Other than that, he's been useless.
