Just weeks away from likely entering the 2016 presidential race, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is putting his Republican rivals on notice that he plans to position himself as a get-it-done governor in a field with several members of Congress and former chief executives.
Mr. Walker’s latest audition came Saturday night when he keynoted the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Patriot’s Gala in Washington, carefully mixing withering attacks on President Obama with folksy Midwest humor and a healthy touch of faith and support for Israel.

Mr. Walker also mocked the president’s recent speech in which he said climate change was the biggest threat facing America.
“I’ve got a message for you, Mr. President: The No 1. threat to the military, the No 1. threat to America, the No 1. threat to the world is radical Islam. It’s time we do something about it,” he said to roaring cheers.

Walker/Cruz
Good enough for me.
Cruz/Walker, in any order you prefer.
Walker and someone else that doesn’t vote yes on secret massive trade deals, IMO.
Uh, probably should re-think that one.

Ha!
Cruz and Walker stay in the conservative camp on everything else. But this secret bill comes along and they are all for it.
Don’t even get it. Makes no sense.
What I think you may be missing is that apparently, at the end of the day, *all* politicians seem to be in the pocket of large banking concerns. It probably traces its origins to the days of JP Morgan.
I’ve asked this before...is there any position Governor Walker has taken that would put him at odds with the National Chamber of Commerce?
It might seem petty, but I’d feel a lot better about his candidacy if he has.
TPA isn’t secret, just TPP. TPA would make TPP public for 60 days before being voted on. Cruz is for TPA. TPP isn’t out yet.
“Walker and someone else that doesn’t vote yes on secret massive trade deals, IMO.”
Thought Walker was a flip flipper on Amnesty.
I’m at a loss as well.
Say prayers and wait for the debates. One of the candidates will stand above the rest.
Thank you. Good advice.
If true, which lots of evidence seems to point to. Lobbyists controlling the politicians, what to do about it?
Smaller government = Fewer lobbyists
Take what we have.
???????
Get a smaller government.
We know what the solution is. But how do we get there?
I don’t get a warm fuzzy feeling about Walker being ok with the Patriot Act, in it’s current form. Other than that.. Not bad.
