Scott Walker’s stunning implosion: Can this dope’s campaign be saved?

[n2doc]

The impression is fast setting in that Scott Walker, former King of Iowa, is a nonsense person and a ridiculous presidential candidate.

What’s been the hot topic over the past week? Ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. That’s what Donald Trump wants to do, either through constitutional amendment or aggressively court-challenging statute. This isn’t a new conservative idea, and it’s something that plenty of other candidates have happily subscribed to for a conservative leg-up in the field. It’s definitely not what RNC chairman Reince Priebus wants them talking about right now, but Reince Priebus can go suck an egg.

Where’s Scott Walker been on this? Unclear. While many outlets interpreted him earlier this week saying that he did support ending birthright citizenship in an interview with NBC’s Kasie Hunt, to us it read as more of a dodge. The “yeah” below was more of an acknowledgement that a question was directed towards him, rather than a positive reply to that question.

KASIE HUNT: Do you think that birthright citizenship should be ended?

SCOTT WALKER: Well, like I said, Harry Reid said it’s not right for this country — I think that’s something we should, yeah, absolutely, going forward —

HUNT: We should end birthright citizenship?

WALKER: Yeah, to me it’s about enforcing the laws in this country. And I’ve been very clear, I think you enforce the laws, and I think it’s important to send a message that we’re going to enforce the laws, no matter how people come here we’re going to enforce the laws in this country.

HUNT: And you should deport the children of people who are illegal immigrants?

WALKER: I didn’t say that — I said you have to enforce the law, which to me is focusing on E-Verify.

His campaign later “clarified” Walker’s rambling mess by certifying the nonsensical dodge: “We have to enforce the laws, keep people from coming here, enforce E-Verify to stop the jobs magnet, and by addressing the root problems we will end the birthright citizenship problem.”

Personally, I believe pervasive right-wing-owned mass media propaganda is a major factor.

8. There's still plenty of Koch cash to go around.

I don't even think they've opened their checkbooks yet, and Walker is their bought-and-paid-for boy.
