After many members of the media said that Carly Fiorina had the strongest performance at the CNN Republican presidential debate on Wednesday night, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said on Thursday that he knew that Fiorina would have gotten a lot of attention no matter how the debate played out.
“I think going in, we knew the narrative, no matter what was gonna happen, was they were gonna say that Carly had a big night, no matter what, and obviously, they said that,” Walker told radio host Glenn Beck, according to audio published by Buzzfeed News. “I think the other impression was — the feedback I got from folks, not just in the press but from across the country, we talked to was a frustration that there wasn’t more talk.”
Walker lamented that the GOP primary so far has not been about “the issues,” but rather about “personalities.”
“It seemed pretty clear that CNN was trying to pit people against each other for ratings, instead of talking about the issues,” Walker told Beck.
Despite the media “narrative” surrounding Fiorina, Walker seemed confident in his debate performance.
“We scored some real points, if that’s what you call it, I guess, in terms of getting the message out,” he said. “If you want someone who’s been tested, I’m the guy. If you want an apprentice, someone who’s never been tested before, then you’re likely to get some of what we have in the White House right now.”
Whine, whine, whine, they didn’t like me Whine, whine, whine.
I think the Governor needs a little cheese with his whine.
Sounds like someone is jealous. Someone with a floundering campaign.
Did his bald spot turn purple and get swollen?
“It’s always someone else’s fault.” the member of the party of personal responsibility exclaimed.
how does the ‘media’ or anyone else pick a winner from a group of losers? is it the one who tells the best lies or the one who lies the least?
