Walker is the ideal candidate....tested and thoroughly vetted. If liberals had anything on him, they would have used it.
He must lead the ticket and setup the next generation. A Tea Party Cruz, Lee or other minority would be great.
The left has nothing to offer. They can only defend the socialist state. They have no new ideas.
Walker can destroy any Democrat with a positive agenda.
1) Energy independence
2) Replace Obamacare with insurance CHOICE an no subsidies for big insurance
3) Restore our manufacturing might by re-shoring manufacturers
4) Spending control to balance the budget
That is all it would take. Simple, clear messaging.

Are you from Brooklyn?
RE: Walker can destroy any Democrat with a positive agenda.
What about his stance on illegal immigration?
He has a mixed message, which tells me he not decided on the issue.
It all depends on who gets to him first...the establishment RNC and Chamber of Commerce or the Tea Party control our borders first group.
I think we can win this. Walker is a good Christian, conservative and anti-union. He will get the "control borders first" argument.
I recorded it because it was worthwhile watching twice and showing it to my husband. The best part was he was talking about the economic recovery of the state. F Chuck tried to paint him as a failure.
Here are my favorite parts, sans Todd’s leading questions.
re: That he can’t seem to get above ONLY a 53% win.
“Our state’s a blue state historically, it’s been a blue state. We can’t win without independents. We won, again, with double digit votes from independent voters. And probably one of the most exciting things for me was 18 to 24 year olds was statistically essentially a tie. So we reached out to young voters, not just traditional voters, who were voting our way. “
re:Can WI ecominic model work elsewhere
“Well, I think in our case, certainly we had a little bit of a slow down early on with the protest. But in the last year, we saw the best from September to September, the best private-sector job growth we’ve seen in more than a decade. Our unemployment rate’s down from 9.2% in 2010 down to 5.5%”
re:ste revenue going down
“No, that’s just the opposite. The reason revenues are down is because we cut withholding. Withholding at the state and the federal level level is where the government takes more of your money than you actually owe them and holds onto them without getting you interest. We cut that in April. So we anticipated that reduction of revenue because we gave the hardworking taxpayers more money back. And that $1.8 billion is based on a projection of no growth and no changes to the budget. That just doesn’t happen.
In our case, if we have the average of the last five years of revenue growth, we actually have the next budget starting with more than a half a billion dollars in surplus.”
re: not taking Medicaid like Kasich did
“No. From our standpoint, we did something unique, unlike just about any other state in the country. For the first time ever, not a person in our state is on a waiting list for people living in poverty. They all have access to healthcare through Medicaid, but those living above it are transitioned into the marketplace and we don’t put our taxpayers at risk. I mean, think about it. States that have taken the Medicaid expansion are betting on the fact that the Congress and the president, who can’t deal with the $17 trillion are going to magically somehow come up with new money. They haven’t paid that money for Medicaid even to the states as we speak.”

Wow. Thank you for the info.
i live here. it’s not a democrat state. it’s been 50-50 forever and it’s because of three cities. most of the counties go republican. the three major cities tilt crap to make it appear worse than it is.
where to look? TEXAS!
and he wasn’t talking about Charlie Crist, either, no matter how fresh and organic he may be
I'm sorry, your sick take is to use articles that were while she was McStain's running mate
Yeah, I noticed that disingeuousness on your part.
Now go ahead, find us a any hint, any possibility the woman is pro-amnesty after that.
Question: Are you ignoring this fact for political reasons, or just ignorant?
Go ahead we'll be waiting.....
Times have changed and the Presidency now requires more executive skills than back when communication meant telegraph or letters, and the Executive branch was much smaller.
Our best Presidents have been Governors or military leaders, because those were the places where men obtained public service and executive experience.
Good catch. A lot of that is from Walker’s stump speech which he gave to every gathering willing to listen. The news media and his opponent tried to paint a very negative picture of the state of the state. It’s clear that the voters kenew the difference.
I’d like someone who isn’t open borders like Walker.

I don’t know what’s sick about presenting to you what she said before. If she has changed her mind, I’m all open to hearing about it.
Why don’t you educate us by directing us to a reliable link where she has articulated her present stance on illegal immigration instead of attacking me?
Thank-you. He is unflappable. More people should know his record because his is the high-water mark.
Here is an exchange I forgot to include. The people of CA should listen.
“TODD: You still believe in the pension for government workers?
WALKER: We have the only fully-funded pension system in the country because of our reforms and because of the reforms that were put in even before I took office.
I do not think he is for open borders. He has talked on both sides of the issue in a smart way so nobody can pigeon-hole him.
