Coulter: Cruz And Walker Only 'Palatable' Candidates

Breitbart -- Columnist and author [...],Ann Coulter said that Ted Cruz and Scott Walker are the only “palatable” presidential candidates and that the candidacies of Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina are a “waste of time” on “Hannity” on the Fox News Channel.

Coulter re-iterated her point that Republicans shouldn’t let liberal moderators host their debates, she then stated “most importantly, please Republican primary voters, do not even consider someone who has not been a governor. Maybe a senator, but at least a governor. That is just wasting everybody’s time, energy and money from — and I’ve done it myself. I supported Pat Buchanan, Steve Forbes, probably some other ones, but, no, just don’t even consider them, it’s a waste of time. I love Ben Carson, he can’t be our candidate. Carly Fiorina, no, just get them off the list. We have to get serious about this, we have to back a candidate who’s going to win. Of all the ones that you mentioned [Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, and Carly Fiorina] I think the only ones I would consider at all palatable are Ted Cruz or Scott Walker.”

Coulter also said of Hillary Clinton, “I don’t think she’s going to be that tough. If we have — the most important issue right now is whom the Republicans choose, not whom the Democrats choose. She’s not a likable person. She has a lot of trouble. She was knocked out once before. You already have the left pushing forward other possibilities.”

Coulter concluded that the best issue for Republicans to emphasize is, it’s been a disaster under Obama. We would like someone to right the ship of state.

Blog Author's Comments - I have been saying this same thing for months. I agree with Coulter...I would support either Cruz or Walker and my first choice would be Ted Cruz yet, I would not be unhappy if Scott Walker were the GOP nominee. But the GOP Establishment is the problem. I would not be surprised if they back Jeb Bush.

Ted Cruz is a great speaker, is highly intelligent, and a natural leader, a man with true conservative convictions. Everyone who has followed him knows where Cruz stands on the issues, he makes the case for his positions unapologetically. Walker has also shown himself to be a strong leader as Governor of Wisconsin. We need that strong leadership in our next President, but will the Republican voters support them?

Fed-Up Scott Walker Has Blunt Answer For Reporter: 'Classic Example Of Why People...Dislike The Press'

The Blaze -- Amid the media flap over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker saying he doesn’t know if President Barack Obama loves America since he’s “never asked the president” about that subject, Walker was apparently grilled again regarding his position on Obama’s beliefs.

This time it was about the president’s religious faith.

Walker, a Republican and possible 2016 presidential candidate, said in an interview Saturday that he didn’t know if Obama is a Christian, the Washington Post reported.

The Post article did not quote the text of the apparent question Walker was asked regarding Obama’s faith, it did note that Walker was told during the interview that Obama has spoken publicly about his Christian faith.

“I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” Walker said, according to the Post. “I’ve never asked him that,” he added, the paper said. “You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?”

Walker then offered a retort for the media.

“To me, this is a classic example of why people hate Washington and, increasingly, they dislike the press,” Walker said, the Post reported. “The things they care about don’t even remotely come close to what you’re asking about.”

More from the Post:

After the interview was completed, Walker spokeswoman Jocelyn Webster telephoned The Washington Post to say the governor was trying to make a point of principle by not answering such kinds of questions, not trying to cast doubt on Obama’s faith.

“Of course the governor thinks the president is a Christian,” she said. “He thinks these kinds of gotcha questions distract from what he’s doing as governor of Wisconsin to make the state better and make life better for people in his state.”

Walker also said he’s being held to a different standard by the media.

“Was it (Teamsters president) Jimmy Hoffa that ripped on the tea party and called them unpatriotic, and the president was standing there and nobody asked him that?” Walker recalled, the Post said. “To me, it seems I’ve had multiple days of an incredible double standard. They don’t ask the president about people like Jimmy Hoffa, they don’t ask Hillary Clinton about others out there.”

Walker added that who believes what or who said what isn’t his focus; rather it’s “should I choose to get in this election, why I believe we need a fighter.”

Blog author's comments - First of all I definitely believe Scott Walker should be in the running for the GOP presidential nominee for 2016. At this point in time, he is what the country and the Republican Party needs. I know that there will be many Republicans vying for the nomination, but now that Walker has become one of the front runners the liberal mainstream media are digging to find something that will make him look bad and possibly remove him from contention.

Because of Obama's actions, what he has said and will not say about the Islamic terrorists, Obama really doesn’t act like a Christian; he leans towards Islam and says very little about Christianity. I am not so sure Obama is a Christian; he seems to me to be a Muslim first.
