Purely a race between Jeb Bush and Scott Walker. I admit several folks are four-star VP material (Carson, Fiorina, Ehrlich, and Perry). Huck should have stuck with Fox News, and Jindal simply won’t sell across a national stage....same story with Rubio.
At least we know he’s severely for comprehensive immigration reform (scamnesty).
Now Walker just needs to come out and say he’s compassionately conservative in favor of Islam as a religion of peace and Communist Core for the children.
Has all the potential (or lack thereof) of Bush 43.
And, I assume, said absolutely nothing on the spending cuts needed to offset them?
At every debate with a Dem opponent or big media member (same thing) Walker will have in the time leading up to next year’s election, he should try to have a very large picture of Harry Truman in the background.
So many of today’s politicians are over educated, which leads them to be less then intelligent when making realistic decisions, etc.
Imagine that, a pro growth conservative hitting notes on just about every issue we as a base want heard. He connected the dots well, his description of weathering the fire and storms of the left as a sign that he will hang tough and be unrelenting with all our enemies, foreign and domestic, resonates well.
I would say IBTACF. But I found this thread too late.......:-)
Walker has a great memory, tremendous capacity to learn, and a great political instinct. He’s not afraid of being surrounded by smart people. I’ll bet he could tell you names of every person he talked to that evening.
I met him at a neighborhood birthday party for a friend’s son, and many years later, he remembered meeting and talking that day. I’ve met very few people like that.
He’s real!
Tax policy should be really simple: tax no more than 19% of GDP, spend no more than 17% of GDP. Use the difference to pay off debt.
