Oh lord. "Alinskyite". Republicans pull this buzzword from time to time without knowing wtf it means.
Politics is full of stupid idioms, but Republicans have so many meaningless jingoisms that only reveal how ignorant and a con the whole "conservative" movement is.
May want to dig a little deeper into Maria Butina. Scotty went back to Wisconsin with his tail between his legs after unsuccessful presidential run for more than the boondoggle that was Foxcon
Not surprisingly, Scott Walker is still talking the lingo of the Obama years. He was the homecoming king and football captain of 2010, and he won't leave it behind...
I find it hilarious that the right loves to claim that the left uses Saul Alinsky tactics and is funded by George Soros when most people on the left have no idea who either of them are.
Scott Walker: Noted political science thinker (spelled "d-i-p-s-h-i-t") who gets his ideas and insights from Marc Thiessen, Tea Party manifestos, and Bazooka Joe comics.
I turned on CNN, (I’ve not watched them since the November election) just to see if they too projected Susan Crawford to win and heard this drivel from Walker and I turned it off. I knew I made a good decision not to watch CNN anymore.

There are wigs that have more political insight and savvy than Scott Walker. Walker was never anything more than a dream bought and paid for by the Koch brothers, may they rot in Hell.
Because you and I born about same year, I know you appreciate the schadenfreude of Scott Walker arc from 2015 New Yorker articles to irrelevance today. Wisconsin 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. Had faith, but wasn't sure ship on beam ends could right itself.
Even without reading this I see it. He managed a whole lot of chaotic BS, and I was watching from just over the border. When my work friend told me she was gonna vote for him, I nearly lost it. I definitely lost respect for her judgment. I wonder when she finally figured it out.
Here in the heartland, hatred of Saul Alinsky is always the big motivating factor for voters. I can't get the cattle ranchers I know to shut up about Alinsky. They hate him.
I went to the same high school as Walker albeit I’m 5 years older and don’t personally know him. However, the teachers I keep in touch with uniformly hate him. He was an obnoxious teen who turned into a shitty man and governor.
Over achieving Scott Walker with the intellect of a crash test dummy should stay in his lane. By the way who’s manning the cross walks when he’s on tv.
This is another dismal footnote in the saga of what killed cable news: unassailable faith in access journalism where TV hosts are paid to behave as if whatever their “guests” say isn’t ridiculous or blatantly untrue. All in order to get these same liars back to do it all over again the next time.
I wonder at what point CNN realizes it is not gonna get conservative voters from FOX, and is pushing away people like me who used to be viewers but have turned away because of Jennings. He just sits scowling, ready to pounce with his bullshit talking points, regardless of fact or circumstance.
Spending money is the most American thing to do in elections. Lobbying is legal in this country ffs, can this guy please shut up about “money in elections”. Supreme Court gave us Cit Utd, so we all have to wallow in this crap.

(@radiofreetom.bsky.social watches all the wrong channels so we don’t have to :-)
I'd say WI mirrors where the country as a whole stands on MAGA at the moment. And as Trump's fortunes go, so will go next year's elections.
😂
Great guest "analyst" choice, CNN!
Very complimentary in my books.

My conservative pol sci prof had us like actually read him. It was good and interesting reading.
His name has become a meaningless accusation for the right to hurl around now.
People are still crazy. The liars and thieves are still in power.
But tonight was a good, hopeful night that all those terrible cannot take away from us.
Yo somebody tell this guy about the money spent by the *the richest man in the world" on a different candidate in that race
He maybe forgot
Remind him
It'd be nice if our so-called Liberal Media could stop handing out checks to right wing ghouls who consistently advocate in bad faith.
Alinsky and Bill Ayers are way way better known on right than the left.
