Walker Sees No Path To Nomination

The New York Times published a report at 4:05 PM today stating that GOP presidential hopeful Scott Walker would announce later this evening from Madison, WI that he is dropping out of the race.

Walker concluded, according to three Republicans familiar with his decision, that he no longer saw a path to the Republican nomination.  “He’s made a decision not to limp into Iowa.”

It's real - @FoxNews confirms @ScottWalker to drop out. Writing was on the wall

Trump has now knocked out the 2 most successful conservative governors out of the GOP race. Somehow that's an indictment of beltway RINOs.

Are the people who tried to recall Walker thrilled, or upset that this is the guy they couldn't take down?

Hillary Wants To “Commit Greater Acts Of Voter Fraud”

Every election cycle the contentious subject of voter registration/voter fraud rears its ugly head.  Thursday was no exception as Cankles delivered a speech at Texas Southern University in Houston calling for an expansion of early voting and pushing back against efforts to eliminate voter fraud. 

She asserted that current and former Republican governors seeking the presidency have “systematically and deliberately” tried to prevent millions of Americans from voting. She explained that she wants to expand access to early voting, implement same-day voting and to allow universal, automatic voter registration for young people.

According to NorthJersey.com, she criticized GOP officials in Florida, Texas and Wisconsin but was very specific in her dig against NJ Governor Chris Christie saying he had vetoed a bill to allow early voting 15 days before an election at designated polling places.

Having none of that Christie snapped back, “Secretary Clinton doesn't know the first thing about voting rights in New Jersey or in the other states that she attacked.  My sense is that she just wants an opportunity to commit greater acts of voter fraud around the country.”

Ohio Gov. John Kasich told Fox News, “I like Hillary, but I got to tell you, the idea that we’re going to divide Americans and we’re going to use demagoguery, I don’t like it.  Now I haven’t said a word about Hillary, but to come into the state of Ohio and say we’re repressing the vote when New York has only Election Day and we have 27 days…come on, that’s just silliness, you know? I’m disappointed in her, frankly.  Don’t be comin’ in and saying we are deliberately trying to keep people from voting when her own state has less opportunity for voting than my state, and she’s going to sue my state?  I mean, come on—that’s just silly…come on, Hillary, you know better than that.”

The backlash against Clinton continued as Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s team released a statement from the governor late Thursday:

“Hillary Clinton’s rejection of efforts to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat not only defies logic, but the will of the majority of Americans. Once again, Hillary Clinton’s extreme views are far outside the mainstream.”

Democrats contend that Republicans overstate the incidence of fraudulent voting to justify steps that depress turnout from minority and other hard-to-reach voters, many of whom would support Democratic candidates. Republicans say Democrats overlook fraud because they want those votes.

So far Hillary has called for mandatory citizen registration and “fun camps”. I think I see where this is going.

The Harpy Who Cried Wolf

Remember back on January 16, 2011 when Debbie Poodleman Wasserman-Schultz pledged to Bob Schieffer on Face The Nation that a “new era of politeness” would begin with her in the aftermath of the shooting of Gabrielle Gifford?  Apparently neither does she.

“It is absolutely critical that we lead by example. That we take this opportunity to—going forward—not shrink from vigorously advocating our views, but stop treating our opponents like the enemy. And try to push the reset button on a more civil discourse because that’s what Gabby was a leader on. That’s what—that’s what her hopes were for the future.”

Fast forward to Wednesday, September 3, 2014.  During a round-table discussion in Milwaukee, the DNC Chairwoman heaved some pretty ugly rhetoric at Republican Governor Scott Walker.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel DWS said, “Scott Walker has given women the back of his hand. I know that is stark. I know that is direct. But that is reality.  What Republican Tea Party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back. It is not going to happen on our watch.”

As you might imagine, her comments drew some well-deserved outrage.

The president of Concerned Women for America, Penny Nance, said “Wasserman Schultz owes an apology to all victims of abuse. It is degrading and outrageous to make false personal accusations rather than discuss real and complicated issues of economic policy. She erroneously conflated physical violence with a political disagreement.”

Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE) said, “I am tired of these cheap, dishonest scare tactics being used to try and intimidate women to vote one way or another. Women are strong, women are smart, and women deserve better than this garbage.  Moreover, I am disgusted that the nation’s leading Democrat would compare legitimate policy disagreements to an instance of domestic violence.”

Hot Air’s Noah Rothman wrote, “This callous appropriation of the language of abuse is unlikely to change any of the minds of those for whom accessing taxpayer-funded abortifacients is tantamount to having the right to vote, but it is going to blunt any future offensives in the ‘war on women.’  Every Republican candidate from here to November is perfectly justified in deflecting the silly gotcha questions they will receive from debate moderators about access to contraception by referencing Wasserman Schultz’s belittling of domestic violence.”

Would someone kindly remind Debbie that radical Islam will show her what a real War on Women looks like.

After the fecal matter hit the air circulation device and she was rebuked by Walker’s Democratic opponent she “retreated” from her remarks:  “I shouldn’t have used the words I used, but that shouldn’t detract from the broader point that I was making that Scott Walker’s policies have been bad for Wisconsin women, whether it’s mandating ultrasounds, repealing an equal pay law, or rejecting federal funding for preventative health care, Walker’s record speaks for itself.”

Her ugly remarks spawned a petition demanding she resign as Chair of the DNC.
