Walker Urges People To Visit Website For Policy Details, Which Aren't There

[DonViejo]

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Monday directed Fox News viewers to his campaign website to see where he stands on certain issues, yet his website appears to lack a clear landing page where supporters can read about the presidential candidate's policy stances and proposals.

While discussing the media's focus on Donald Trump on Fox News' "America's Newsroom," Walker said that people should focus on the details of the candidates' policy ideas.

"The overall media frenzy across this country, from one network to the next, is focusing on one person when we really should be talking about what we’re for and what plans we have to make this country great again. I hope people join us at ScottWalker.com and see the details, not about what we think about another candidate, but what we think about making this country great again," Walker said.

Yet as Politico recently noted, numerous presidential candidates including Scott Walker don't have clear sections on their website that lay out where they stand on the major issues.

Walker's website includes landing pages for "Meet Scott," "News," "Shop," and "Volunteer." None of the sections include details about Walker's policy proposals. The "Meet Scott" section details certain accomplishments from his time as Milwaukee County Executive and governor of Wisconsin, but does not note what Walker would attempt to accomplish as president.

2. Walker knows hardly anyone will do that...

and those who do don't have a big enough voice to nail him on it.

So, it's just another sound bite.

3. Or they're media and if they complain he can whine about persecution by the librul media.

4. really, he has nothing to gain by posting such information

the people who would vote for him are more interested in his declaration about how things "should be" on Faux than they are in any actual policy positions he might provide on his web page. his admonitions to the other candidates are more useful, in themselves, than backing up what he says so he isn't seen as a hypocrite.

whereas actually posting his policy stances would only open him up to critique from all sides, from which he'd gain nothing.

now he's seen as "the candidate who's gone beyond talking about Trump and has details of his policies posted", without having to post a thing. it's like having your cake and eating it too.

if he gets called out on this loudly, he'll just blame a staffer for forgetting to post an obvious link.
