The Washington Post:
"[Scott Walker's supporters say there] needs to be a clear acknowledgment inside the campaign that the governor has yet to put to rest questions about his readiness to handle the problems and unexpected challenges that confront every president."
We can thank Donald Trump for exposing Walker's inadequacies right off — as well as every other Republican candidate's inadequacies. Compared to the world's Vladimir Putins, Trump is a gnat, a nickel-and-dime demagogue, a pesky, argumentative bag of over-the-top ad populum. And yet Bush, Walker et al are terrified of confronting him. They cling to their super-PAC firepower and whimper and whine about alienating Trump's lunatic followers, as though they are the future of a winning Republican Party, or a party with any future at all.
"Better dead than Trumped" should be Bush's rallying cry (Walker was never a credible frontrunner). Yet this self-professed Wolfowitzian is showing his true colors. He's afraid. He's terrified of any real fight, with him in it. He is, in short, a classic, neoconservative chickenhawk.
If the Donald can push him around, just think of what Vladimir could do. (Don't you realize, Jeb, that that's what GOP voters are thinking?)
