Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin was just reelected, despite the fact that his state has distinct liberal trends and is far more blue than it is red. How did that happen? Easy; Walker is no casual conservative when it comes to doing what is right for his state and its residents, no matter what their chosen political affiliation. And the thing national Republicans could learn from Walker is that when you stick to conservative principles, good things happen and the people will follow you (remember the “Reagan Democrats?”)

The problem most Republicans have with using Walker’s example, is that unlike him, they don’t have any conservative principles.
Walker 2016.
Other problems with Walker include his support for amnesty, his failure to meet job creation campaign promises, and his close allignment with the GOPe (Priebus, Ryan, Romney, Rove). Also, he utterly failed to support Ted Cruz in fighting Obamacare and defending the Constitution.
Tens of thousands of Walker voters voted to reelect Obama in 2012. These same voters will surely deliver Wisconsin to Hillary or Warren if Walker is the 2016 nominee.
i hope someday i can go and thank Scott Walker personally for what he’s actually DONE to advance conservatism. he remains one of three national republicans i could vote for as president.
Yes, absolutely my FRiend.
Walker 2016.
(Special note to Rubio, Jeb, Christie, and all other pro-amnesty RINO sell-outs: We do not want you, at all, thanks anyhoo.)
.
Walker is a Governor, not a Senator, newbie.
Hmmm, uh oh. I did not know this.
If true, disregard previous, Walker-supportive post.
-—his failure to meet job creation campaign promises-—
Screw you. Did you know we still have a Marxist president that is kicking the economy in the balls?
This site is really becoming a sour, circular firing squad.
Walker’s job creation has been gaining steam and Wisconsin voters accepted the positive direction. He is not a vocal supporter of amnesty, I think he is still persuadable to emphasize border security.
For me, the two biggest problems is his attempting to walk the line on illegal immigration/amnesty based on who he’s talking/appealing to, and him doing absolutely nothing hard ever since his recall win. There are plenty of hard things that need to be done in Wisconsin and he’s lost the fight because once he won the recall, his campaign for president began. That’s why he has avoided hard stuff ever since then and is upset that the now Republican-controlled assembly and senate want to do the hard work on some issues.
He has been recorded and shown on tv saying pro-amnesty things. I saw them. He’s closer to the Chamber of Commerce point of view on this than anything else. He says he wants anyone who wants to come here to work to be able to. They don’t have a right to demand to come here. Or to come here. Walker fails to ignore the real reasons behind this. they don’t want to be Americans, they don’t want to assimilate, they just want to transfer money from here back to family in Mexico. They essentially want it all, all the benefits of being both Mexican and American, they won’t give up Mexico but they want babies born here to anchor them in to the bennies and here. They want the citizenship so they can work and send money back to the home country. THey say screw our laws and our immigration process while if any other latin americans sneak into mexico to work, they beat them, take their money, and drive them 2-300 miles south of mexico and tell them if they come back they will kill them.
What was the starting point at which Walker was able to cut taxes?
I think could say the same about Jeb’s tenure.
Walker has flip flopped 3 or 4 times on immigration.
It was death defying for Walker to cut taxes, hire bodyguards and sign popular reforms.
He’s like Jack Kemp or Rand Paul. All this tough talk on cutting taxes, NSA or taking pride in beating up Democrats’ weakest candidates.
Wimpy on social issues and immigration.
Paul LePage is a better example. Takes on the gaystapo, NAACP, cutting welfare for illegals and those seekign asylum.
It is really brave for Rand Paul or others to pander to blacks. I mean the media will just pound you if you refuse to criticize blacks.
