God Help Us, Scott Walker is back
Did you know that the insane Delaware version of Scott Walker was running for President? I remember hearing about it, but had forgotten, as had the rest of the country. Who knows if he was running as a Democrat or Republican, because he switches parties with each election. He apparently was also running for Governor against John Carney in 2020, but he must have forgotten to announce that to the rest of us.
It doesn’t matter though, because now, according to the latest News Journal interview with him, he is becoming a Democrat again to run against Chris Coons. And while I am all for giving Mr. Coons a primary, I don’t want his only challenger to be someone who will force me to vote for Chris Coon enthusiastically.
Mr. Walker gave some choice (read delusional) quotes to the News Journal:
“I want to attract people’s attention so that I can deliver a message,” Walker told The News Journal. “If they like my message — and I know they will like my message — then they’ll follow me.”
Ah, the words of a wanna be cult leader. Follow you? That’s not how this works. You work for people’s votes by addressing their issues, and then you follow them. The voters. Otherwise, the voters are going to fire you by throwing you out of office.
