Karen Hunter:If Scott Walker wins the republican nomination he will be the next President

[bigdarryl]

Just heard her talking about how Walker relates to regular folks and is someone you can have a beer with.

[ananda]

1. Lol

That will never happen.

[dballance]

28. I dunno, I never thought W could be President either

I'm willing to be appropriately concerned.

[blm]

2. Who is Karen Hunter and why should I trust this ignorant remark?

9. Then she MUST be joking. People can't even stand to look at the guy let alone

have a beer with him.

If she does then I would say she's been cashing too many paychecks from corporate sponsors lately to be objective.

[bigdarryl]

16. She wasn't joking she just want the democrats not to underestimate Walker

By saying he's boring she said she though for sure he would lose the recall and underestimated him.She said she wanted to find out why Wisconsin keeps voting for him and her opinion is that his policies are horrible but people like him because they can relate to him.She also has said that she's talked to several men black and white who said under no circumstances will they vote for a woman to be President.

[blm]

18. I don't think he's underestimated. The way you crafted your OP made it sound

as if she was certain of her opinion that he's relatable - she shouldn't be. Walker succeeded because Dems didn't the better job of GOTV and, quite probably, pro-Walker election fraud.

Not many people across this country will be comfortable with a regressive, cross-eyed @sshat who dyes his the hair on his balding head black as president.

[Yo_Mama]

32. Thanks, because I had the same question. n/t

[KamaAina]

3. Well, of course he's someone you can have a beer with

He's a cheesehead, for crying out loud.

[randys1]

4. He is actually quite dumb. And this is exactly what the Koch Bros need.

[restorefreedom]

5. so which canadian province is best?

i have always been partial to bc.

can.t stay under a pres walker.

but fortunately it will be bernie

[oberliner]

10. You seriously believe Bernie Sanders will be the next President of the United States?

What's your confidence level on that?

[restorefreedom]

11. pretty damn good right now. he is gaining traction and interest.

he is speaking for the voiceless.

[BillZBubb]

30. Too bad the voiceless don't often vote.

[restorefreedom]

34. it only takes one election. n/t

[Angry Dragon]

7. So much wrong with that title

A spawn of Satan endorsed by an republican

[nykym]

8. Sorry Snotty

I don't drink so no beer or vote for you!

[Vinca]

12. I think Walker is the biggest threat because he's an expert at running a con.

He kind of reminds me of Dubya. Dumb as a stump but able to convince the masses he's the best person for the job.

[old guy]

20. He does remind me of w but the big thing w had that Walker doesn't

is that Walker has to run against a Bush and w of course was a Bush. Advantage w.

[Vinca]

36. A good point, but so far Jebbie has been completely underwhelming.

[HereSince1628]

13. Walker drinks BEER? I would NOT have guessed -that-

[jmowreader]

35. And if he gets elected, the rest of the country will switch to hemlock.

[CK_John]

14. Well he would have a 50/50 chance.

[spanone]

15. that means he'll never be the next president.

[madville]

17. It would be a close race against Hillary Clinton

I think it would be a fairly close race. I still remember that he won Wisconsin three times against a large, vocal opposition. I certainly wouldn't discount him.

[dembotoz]

19. Do not underestimate snotty

[artislife]

21. Why does everyone want to drink with a president? nt

[forthemiddle]

24. They want to relate

I have been saying this since the beginning. Look back since Reagan, and you will find that the most relatable ALWAYS wins. Cintons v Bush, Clinton hands down, same with Dole.
gore was stiff, Kerry was Aristocratic. Obama v McCain no contest, and finally Romney the plastic Ken Doll.
I think if it is either Walker or Rubio against Cintons the GOP wins.
She is not charismatic like her husband, and she seems perpetually annoyed. I don't see her connecting.

[artislife]

26. I know

I just think if I can relate to the president, s/he might not be as smart as I would like them to be.

President Obama. Nice guy, engaging, funny, smart. I would still be uncomfortable because he is so intelligent, so engaged in what matters in people's lives, very funny. I would be making noises, not forming words

That tells me that we elected the best on offer in 2008.

I would have no problem forming words with Romney, not that he would listen to me.


You are right of course about the politics of being relatable=electable. I just wish we would aspire to more from our leaders.





Maybe I would like to drink with President Obama, especially if Michelle was there.

[DirkGently]

22. Not bloody likely on either count. n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

23. That speech announcing was not that great and it was obviously a very rehearsed thing

He's tick heavy, looks sort of funny, he was sweaty and concentrating hard on looking natural. I did not feel I was looking at a terrible candidate, but I did not see the sort of person who can sustain a Presidential run. That tightly wound presentation does not suggest that he can.

[AOR]

25. If the Democratic Party...

does not take a dramatic shift left in its narrative and in its actions... the likelihood of a Walker or one of his ilk is a very real possibility. That this stain on the human condition has become a national player on the political scene is a massive indictment of the impotency of the Democratic Party who continue to offer up nothing but the same old economic status quo lip-service with a "more caring" veneer.

[1StrongBlackMan]

27. I keep waiting for someone to tell me that ...

how Walker relates to regular folks and is someone you can have a beer with.

I will gently remind them, that's was the measure that many applied to GWB and remind them how that worked out for America.

It took a man that none of them would have wanted to have a beer with; but, at least two, actually did ... to get us out of the mess that he left.

[Agnosticsherbet]

29. Never doubt the all powerful beer barrel ballot.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

31. Scary prospect

A President who doesn't accept the idea of evolution and who claims to know the mind of God in justifying his actions. A religious nut, like the religious nuts we're fighting abroad.

[Recursion]

33. He's their strongest candidate, definitely

We underestimate him at our peril.
