Over the past couple of months, Ive had the opportunity to discuss foreign-policy issues with Wisconsin governor Scott Walker. Beforehand, I didnt know him personally and so didnt know what to expect. Well, here is what I found: Walker has the potential to be a great foreign-policy president. Heres why. The first thing I learned is that Scott Walker is eager to talk about foreign policy. He relishes discussing the ins and outs of an issue and shows a curiosity that frankly I wish many of our senators had. He engages precisely at the level a president should, asking tough questions about the strategic importance of an issue, and his keenest interest is in finding how to improve Americas position in the world. There isnt an apologize-for-America bone in his body. I also learned something about his overall attitude toward foreign policy: He understands that getting it right or wrong is the difference between peace and war. This personally was very reassuring to me. I want someone who is serious about foreign policy.
dont want a president who treats it as an afterthought or a vehicle for burnishing a personal legacy. Nor do I want a president who is content to timidly manage what remains of our collapsing foreign policy. I want someone to rescue us from it. And I dont want someone who merely gives soaring speeches. Weve had plenty of that from President Obama, and look where we are.

Walker doesn’t do a thing for me.
Walker is a Roveservative. He’s a conservative myth.
