No clue Boo Boo ducks for cover. Thanks to the efforts of his employers at the fossil fuel industry there are going to be about a billion refugees in the near future. Ask our other destructive friends at the Dept. of Defense who have been trying to tell Congress that man caused global warming is a present and future security threat. No wonder Walker is afraid to open this barrel of worms.

Sorry Snott but if you want to run for President you have to answer questions. Sorry to be as big of an asshole as you are.

Um, this is not hypothetical, Walker is being asked how he would solve a problem that actually exists, right now. Yes, the being president part is hypothetical, but that’s the entire point of running for president. I’m not sure if Walker is a coward, or just stupid.

Walker said … “Everybody wants to talk about hypotheticals; there is no such thing as a hypothetical.”

So your hypothetical about “taking on ISIS” wasn’t real either?

“Everybody wants to talk about hypotheticals; there is no such thing as a hypothetical.”

There are such things a hypotheticals. They are propositions about the kinds of events, policy crises, environmental and human disasters, etc. that, given today’s world, are happening now, and are well within the scope of probability for happening in the future – like accepting refugees from war and famine ravaged areas of the world - almost certain to increase as global climate change progresses.

Hypotheticals are meant to explore and ascertain the breadth of skills and knowledge of a candidate and give us an idea about how that candidate would govern. That way, we voters can try to figure out how such a candidate might analyze diverse situations of national interest to the U.S.A. and respond to it with solutions and mitigations.

Clearly, in this capacity, by your own admission, aside from the foreign affairs equivalent of “hulk smash”, you have buggerall to contribute.

If you stare deeply into Walker’s eyes your IQ drops 27 points.

“As president, on my very first day going forward, I would pull back – I would terminate that bad deal with Iran completely on day one,” Walker said on Fox News hours before the landmark deal was announced in June.

I guess promising to terminate a deal before it's even formally announced, let alone passed, doesn't fit the "I won't deal in hypotheticals" paradigm.

lol! And I thought Rubio was an empty suit.

“I’m talking about what I would do as president, that’ll be a year and a half from now. I’m going to take on ISIS as president.”

This IS a hypothetical.

I almost feel bad for his staffers. They probably look at each other and using telepathy wonder "do we have to explain everything?

How’s this for a hypothetical:

From CNN:

Is Kim Davis Today’s Rosa Parks?

Rich Lowry over at National Review has an incredibly long article about how Walker can revive his campaign and win back support. While intending to be serious, it’s hilariously out of sync with reality.

It assumes Walker possesses the capacity to understand.
