Trump has cornered the Mexican immigration issue so it's up to Walker to tackle Canada

http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/30/politics/scott-walker-northern-border-immigration-2016/

quote:

The Republican presidential contender said the idea of a northern border has come up while he has campaigned in New Hampshire.

In an interview for NBC's "Meet the Press" available online, Walker said his tough talk to securing the borders and enforcing U.S. laws extends to the 5,525-mile Canadian border as well.

It's a shift from most campaign-trail rhetoric, which has focused on the United States' border with Mexico, where millions undocumented immigrants have entered the country.

"Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire," Walker said. "They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at."

Good. It'll help us keep American guns from being smuggled across the border, which is getting to be a significant public safety issue.

Well you know I talked to a geologist and a seismologist at a brown bag town hall event in Ames yesterday that raised this legitimate concern, so I'm adding that to my platform. We want to build a multi-million square mile subterranean dome to protect us from the mole people. This is a big, bold, fresh idea that isn't a product of Washington, but rather from a maverick outsider who knows how to stand up to challenges. If I can stand up to 100,000 protesters at my doorstep, I can stand up to Emperor Xazazzaphyx and his merry band of mole men.

It's going to be funny when he's forced to abandon his campaign and returns to Wisconsin to gently caress we state workers like a dog in the streets. Whipping us is how he licks his wounds.

Walker's attempt to go back to his greatest hits (kicking working people) and falling flat in the national spotlight is even sweeter than I thought it would be. Hooray Scotty you got 2 days of media coverage during which you mostly got laughed at good work.

Latest push at home is to change State Superintendent of Instruction from an elected to an appointed position (Secretary Evers pushed back against Act 10 and Walker's voucher bullshit), the ALEC plan continues its march here.

The hope now is to let the idiots run out of steam and use your warchest to essentially take the hit on the early primaries then come out swinging on super tuesday and hope you make it to the top of the heap. This is just my theory, of course, but it also holds true for Jeb.

I think the real hope is that people get tired of Trump, while candidates like Carson flame out as flavors of the week.

At that point money and endorsements are supposed to win elections, but Walker will be losing those to Bush and possibly also to Rubio / Kasich.

The state has already put the kibosh on some of Walker's more egregious idiocy (the elimination of open records, allowing high school dropouts to become teachers, the neutering of the university's mission statement, replacing the state's excellent disability program with a private model) so I doubt things will get as bad as KS. Walker, however, is a worse and more dangerous governor than Brownback, if that were possible.

Yeah, they're always pushing on several fronts at once, so they don't get everything they want but they're doing damage constantly and it adds up.

A lot of the more recent stuff was him grandstanding for his POTUS run. Once he embarrasses himself in Iowa and is cast aside as a loser by the Kochs he may have a mental breakdown and just coast for his final two years.

That's my hope, at least.

Between his plummeting polls and aggressively awful rebranding earlier this week he's going to be trying so hard at this debate tonight. I'm hoping he goes straight for Trump and it backfires on him spectacularly. I want him to get clowned worse than Rand did last time.

It's interesting seeing it written out like this. An outsider might think you're joking, but those are all 100% real things he's tried to do, all on Friday afternoons right before the government offices closed for the day.

Can people genuinely explain to me how he is so well disliked yet he won a recall election? I'm honestly curious.

One factor was good old low turnout - another I heard was that some 'serious' people didn't approve of having a recall and felt motivated to come out and vote for him (or they stayed home as part of the former group)
