....A month or so ago,there were legitimate questions as to whether Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was up to speed on foreign policy and could project the gravitas we expect of presidential nominees. In an interview with Hugh Hewitt, he seemed a far cry from the candidate at CPAC. His answer on the Taliban trade and news of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahls desertion charge was solid......
Likewise,he explained why he prefers the term safety and gave an apt overview of what is happening in the Middle East:
Safety is something you feel inside your chest, you feel in your heart. And I think increasingly, Americans feel a sense of concern that particularly if they have family members or loved ones that ever want to travel again, they see France, they see Canada, they see other places around the world, not just the Middle East, and its a safety issue. And they,and then I would just add to this, as they look at this more closely, they see a president whos drawn a line in the sand and crossed it, who called ISIS just a year ago the jayvee squad, who called Yemen last fall a success story, who calls Iran now a place where we can do business. Think about how screwed up that is. I remember the movie in the 80s, Trading Places...you know, with Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy, its like Iran and Israel are trading places in the sequel. In the eyes of this president,our ally is supposed to be Israel. Our adversary has been historically Iran. And yet this administration completely does it the other way around. We need to call radical Islamic terrorism for what it is,and a commander-in-chief whos willing to act.
His has no trouble saying he would absolutely walk away from a faulty Iran deal.....

Oh, Naps, stop being emotional. It has nothing to do with “loving the media”.
The Wall Street Journal and National Review are reporting it. The threads are here; all you have to do is search Walker’s name by keyword.
How are they bashing him by reporting what he said? Would you rather not know?
Gravitas like Hillary! has or Kerry or Obama himself?
What a joke the Left is, only it’s not funny, but deadly.
Yes. Cruz will have trouble getting traction out of the primaries.
Good read from a reliable, though Lefty, source:
