Walker Hones Attacks on GOP Rivals at Iowa State Fair

....“They told us during the last election that if we just elected a Republican Senate, the leadership out there would put a bill to repeal Obamacare on the desk of the President. It’s August. We’re still waiting for that measure,” a feisty Walker told an audience who gathered to hear him speak in Des Moines.

....“We need leaders in Washington who will stand up against the President and say, ‘No, enough is enough, America wants you to stand up for your promises,’”...

.....“There’s only one candidate in this race who has fought and won and gotten results—even results in a blue state in Wisconsin—and did it without compromising our common sense conservative principles,” Walker said. “If you want someone who can win and get results and not compromise, I’m the candidate to send to the White House.”

Walker was a bit more circumspect when addressing Trump, who roared into the race with pledges to build a “great,great wall” along the U.S.-Mexican border. Trump’s anti-Establishment, anti-illegal immigration pitch helped him climb from punch line to political powerhouse, even as some in the party still expect voters to take a more sober approach to what a Trump White House would look like.

...Walker said the U.S. should look to Israel for a model when it comes to security:“I was in Israel earlier this year. They built a 500-mile fence and they have it staffed and it has lowered terrorist attacks in that region by about 90-plus percent. We need to do the same on our border.”

Walker also took his shot at former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who has made education reform part of his public pitch.....Previewing his line of criticism against Bush, who backs education standards known as Common Core, Walker suggested his rival was a big-government advocate.

“No Common Core,” Walker said. “No nationwide school board.”

Trump has done a great service in doing so, but “what counts is that he demonstrates boldness now” is not a true statement.

What counts is what a politician will do, not what they say.

“What counts is what a politician will do, not what they say.”

We cannot predict what they will do. We can only hope. Right now the only ones I trust to deliver the goods is Trump, Walker, Cruz and Carson.

We cannot predict exactly what they will do, but we can give a very high probability based on what they’ve done. That’s why I back Walker.

lol, why was he at Iowa’s state fair, when the Wisconsin State Fair was going on at the same time, right down the block from his home?

Well the Iowa caucus is Feb 1.
And the Wisconsin primary is April 5.

By the time they get to April 5 it will be pretty much over I’d think, that is state #39 on the list by my count.
