Governor Scott Walker's Victory Speech
He sounds like a winner.
We need to keep the GOPe at bay.
Conservative populism is a winner. Let Mike Lee and Ted Cruz lead the way in the Senate and Walker lead the way for our GOP governors.
We need 16 years in the WH coupled with a generation of control over Congress to fix our mess.
Don’t forget the critical role states will play going forward. Federalism works if you let it.
What happened to Mike Lee? It was suggested from a pundit that he got gun-shy and was forced to back down on the issues (don’t remember which).
I’m liking this guy!
I love Walker! I’m just wishing he was not a pro-amnesty type. SAD about this.
That is what I’ve been hoping to hear from one of the likely candidates.
Walker/Martinez 2016!
It was a great speech that’s a fact.
We need him right here in WI though, so hands off. Let the guy do his job for crying out loud.
It was a great speech from Scott Walker.
That’s not my understanding.
He’s running all right, prepping the Lieutenant governor to take and hold his job. His biggest weakness is on immigration.
I’m sure Walker isn’t going to be right 100% of the time on issues, that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for a leader and I think Walker has the skins on the wall.
Populism is definitely going to carry the day in 2016.
Either our brand or the Fake White Indian’s.
Come on, buddy. I’ve got an entire nation to worry about!
And I need him to teach Gov. RAUNER how it’s done!
We’re not going to get all we want on immigration. It’s a Gordian Knot made by liberals to be just that. So what can we do?
Incrementalism. Build the fence and border security and then we’ll talk immigration reform. Pinch all the weasels who’ve overstayed their visas and then we’ll talk about immigration reform. Enforce the law, Obama. Enforce the law, Democrats.
Then we’ll talk immigration reform and you start with the legal one first. Then, once that’s fixed, we’ll look at all the illegals.
Hit at those who are making it comfortable for illegals to live here, then they will self-deport.
It’s the nation we have and one that liberalism built. Idiots don’t know who the VP is or what they’re voting for, but they all know who won Idol.
Populism is here to stay, we’ve moved far from our republic. We can walk it back, but it’s a long road. Democracies end in tyrannies.
For my part, I’ll fight it all the way. As conservatives we have to capture 51% and work with the political and policy realities we have.
Rauner is going to sink fast, unless he stays ahead of Madigan and Co.
His asset is that he can blame do nothing Madigan for everything. They held the Gov, and both legislatures and couldn’t fix a thing.
Rauner needs to stay above the fray and keep sending popular solutions to Madigan to ruin. That’s the only way.
They already have to some extent, but how do you dismantle the welfare system? It’s not a good fight.
Start with the borders, build the fence, enforce the laws on the books. It worked with gun control. This is going to be a long slog.
