Walker’s out of the race.<\/p>\n
And I couldn’t \u00a0be more bummed.<\/p>\n
Walker was the *only* candidate in the race that has actually walked the walk when it comes to pushing back on the public employee unions, whose pensions are going to bankrupt this nation long before any war will.<\/p>\n
“But he built a stadium for the Bucks<\/em>!”, some chant. Yeah, he’s not perfect. No candidate is.<\/p>\n “But he’s weak on foreign policy”. He could appoint his motorcycle Secretary of State and have a better foreign policy team than the current occupant.<\/p>\n “He’s a warmonger!” No, he isn’t. Appearing strong and resolute leads to peace; begging for peace brings war.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “But he’s got no charisma<\/em>!”. Good God, people – voting for charisma is as likely to get you Barack Obama as it is Ronald Reagan. I’ll take an “uncharismatic” president who not only knows how to *talk* about drawing and holding lines, but *has done it, successfully, against brutal, ruthless opposition*, over some “charismatic” candidate for whom it’s all theory, however charismatically expressed.<\/p>\n Given a choice between Calvin Coolidge – an uncharismatic president who shrank government, getting it out of the way of epic prosperity – and a “charismatic” hamster like our current president, is it even a choice?<\/p>\n This is a lousy day for America.<\/p>\n OK, Fiorina and Rubio people.
