The Great Whitebread Hope waffles again

When George Stephanopoulos asked [Scott Walker] on ABC’s This Week, “You’re not seeking to repeal or alter the 14th Amendment?” Walker answered, “No, my point is any discussion that goes beyond securing the border and enforcing laws are things that should be a red flag to voters out there who for years have heard lip service from politicians and are understandably angry because they haven’t been committed to following through on promises.”
This is actually the third position Walker has taken on the issue of birthright citizenship, with him telling NBC’s Kasie Hunt on Monday we should “absolutely” rethink the 14th Amendment.
Then Friday he told CNBC’s John Harwood that he wasn’t going to take “a position on it one way or the other” and that he was tired after a three-and-a-half hour press gaggle.On Sunday, Walker said that position was finally a “no,” but not before trying to evade the question.
This is the guy all the smart money says will be the GOP nominee. Gosh I hope so.
