Walker Urges People To Visit Website For Policy Details, Which Aren’t There

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Monday directed Fox News viewers to his campaign website to see where he stands on certain issues, yet his website appears to lack a clear landing page where supporters can read about the presidential candidate’s policy stances and proposals.

While discussing the media’s focus on Donald Trump on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom,” Walker said that people should focus on the details of the candidates’ policy ideas.

“The overall media frenzy across this country, from one network to the next, is focusing on one person when we really should be talking about what we’re for and what plans we have to make this country great again. I hope people join us at ScottWalker.com and see the details, not about what we think about another candidate, but what we think about making this country great again,” Walker said.

Yet as Politico recently noted, numerous presidential candidates including Scott Walker don’t have clear sections on their website that lay out where they stand on the major issues.

Walker’s website includes landing pages for “Meet Scott,” “News,” “Shop,” and “Volunteer.” None of the sections include details about Walker’s policy proposals. The “Meet Scott” section details certain accomplishments from his time as Milwaukee County Executive and governor of Wisconsin, but does not note what Walker would attempt to accomplish as president.

    Walker’s audience at FOX won’t care if he doesn’t have any policy proposals, but a larger group of mainstream voters will. I was worried about Walker (especially with all of his ALEC support) becoming a credible candidate, but am relieved to see that he is becoming less appealing, more incoherent, and more “out of his depth” as he gains exposure.

  3. Walker and his Koch backers would prefer to keep you on a need to know basis.

  4. yep… so I went to his ‘official’ page https://www.scottwalker.com/

    it’s as blank as his stare… lot’s of press releases and whatta good boy I am but nothing substantive…
