I don't doubt that it might be God's plan that he run.

I do doubt that it be God's plan that he win.

Oh, geez, here we go again.  Well, if it's god's plan, why should we even go through the motions of a primary and a general election.  Who are we mortals to challenge god?

Gimme a break!

The weird thing about Walker is that if you listen to his standard stump speech, he seems like a fairly reasonable guy with some moderate, albeit conservative ideas for the country.

But his over the top rhetoric around what God wants him to do and how he loves America more than anyone else is a major turnoff. It seems so forced and inauthentic. I think he'll be shown to be a phony as we move along in the process.

That said, he does seem to speak the language of the a large swath of the upper Midwest. Therefore, I think he wil place well in Iowa and woudn't be completely surprised if he wins the Iowa caucus.

Inauthentic is my read of Walker.
I see an ambition more pronounced than any ideology. I see an interest in personal advancement that eclipses any investment in personal growth.

Walker may present himself as an outsider. But, he’s a political lifer, with a résumé and worldview that are almost nothing but politics.
