DANA POINT, Calif. Scott Walker said Saturday that he loves the team of rivals concept employed by Abraham Lincoln when it comes to building a cabinet.
The Wisconsin governor told mega donors at the Koch donor network summit here that he would look to other Republicans seeking the nomination if elected, specifically former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and any of the governors Ive worked with.
Theres a great team of people Id take from this field of candidates, he said. We could plug them right into the next administration.
Asked if there is a person who reflects Walkers national security vision, he cited former Missouri senator Jim Talent, who has been advising him.

Walker is OK, though not my first choice, but I hate the idea of candidates putting out names of possible cabinet members, especially during the primary. It seems very presumptuous and premature.
Mitch Daniels?
Scott Walker's speech to the Christian Businessmen's Committee in Madison on November 13, 2009 [first minute or so is introduction]
Sorry Carly run HP into the ground, she needs to go away. No thanks to open boarders Walker, I’ll just stay home.
Sorry, you’re wrong about Carly...and you’re just repeating the leftist mantra. Here’s some comments from the Intel CEO:
Barrett, who served at Intel the same time Fiorina led HP, told reporters Friday that the bursting of the dot-com bubble forced high-tech businesses to streamline and restructure to remain competitive. At the time, he said sales orders fell 30 percent, lower-level assembly jobs were migrating to Asia, and Fiorina was in the midst of engineering a merger with Compaq Computer Corp.
When you add those three things up, her actions to move jobs offshore or in fact to lay off people, were absolutely required to keep Hewlett-Packard in business, Barrett said. And she really, I think, had no choice. She had to have this stiff back and to take those actions to preserve the enterprise.
Barrett said Friday it was Fiorina who laid the path for HPs success.
I think history will show or is showing Carly made the right decisions while she was there, he said. She kept HP at the leadership of the printer business, fully expanded their capability in the computer and server and enterprise side of their business, absolutely positioning HP for what it is today.

Who is your candidate?
Mike Talent? Really?
Cruz or Trump, nothing more nothing less all the others are RINO losers.
Dude you dont scare me with your rhetoric, this country is already lost, and only 2 candidates are worth voting for. The GOP establishment is part of the problem in collusion with the DEMs. I wont vote for a RINO, period.

Right he cant be bought by lobbyist like Walker, he has his own money. Go Trump.
No Sarah, no support - from me anyway.
If the “country is lost” then why bother voting at all? Sounds like you have the answers...
“My guy” gets the nomination and I vote because he can save the country -or- “the other guy” gets the nomination and I stay home because the country is lost...
You’re right... stay home...
Agree, Walker isnt my first choice either but will make a fine pres.
So, any candidate that accepts money is bought?
He needs to win the nomination first. But what the heck, let him have his 5 minutes in the spotlight. If that’s what he’s into.
I doubt if Mitch will leave the Purdue Presidency anytime soon. His wife and kids don’t want tio be in the political spotlight anymore. Plus, Daniels is seeing great opportunities in reforming collegiate level education with value based training and putting the student first, ahead of the school cirriculum.
“So, any candidate that accepts money is bought?”
Unfortunately, that is where our system has evolved. That is one of the top reasons I like Trump, he cannot be bought.
If Fox News some how manages to squeeze Perry into the debates he will set the tone for “lets destroy Trump”. The first words out of his mouth, after Megyn Kelly asks gives him the floor, will be blasting Trump over his McCain remarks. He’ll demand that Trump apologize for all the world to see. Megyn Kelly’s role in the debates is to take out Trump and make Mr. Planned Parenthood Jebbie Bush shine. Mark my words. Hopefully Trump will not fall for the set-up.
