....“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.”

The understanding of TPA is that Obama has to still put those deals in front of Congress for a vote.
The bill in question has Congress still reviewing and determining if a bill goes through or not with regards to trade.
It’s indisputable that Walker supports lowering the Congressional bar for passage and greasing the wheels to enable Obamatrade.
Sad fact is it’s only the Dems in DC complaining about TPA/TPP. Strangely, the GOP is silent on this:
Democrats: Obama Has Done ‘Nothing’ to Fix Trade Deal Problems(Shield your eyes!)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3325690/posts
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) said the Trans Pacific Partnership trade deal is “riddled with problems” and the Obama administration has done “nothing” to resolve the issues.
DeLauro added that the trade deal negotiations are being conducted in secret and transparency provisions have failed to make improvements.
You have nothing but the "pathway to citizenship" feint.
What is Trump's record beyond words? Oh, he HIRES thousands of housemaids, groundskeepers, construction workers... for his hotel, casino, and golf course businesses.
If you think they're all legal...
“If you think they are all legal”
Yeh they are. Trump uses contractors who only hire legals. He stressed this in an interview. Could they have unknowingly hire one here and there? Who knows Maybe. But not intentionally.
And their subs? You know better than that and so does he. Unless I saw one of his standard contracts, I'm not believing a word of it.
You don't mention the hotels, kitchens, groundskeepers...
I also see he didn’t come out strong opining his hope that the Patriot Act comes back sometime in the future. LOL!
You don’t have to believe it for it to be true. As far as I know the MSM have not sniffed out Trump’s illegal workers. If they existed MSNBC would be interviewing them on TV.
LOL. Walker has a stellar record versus Trump’s hot air. Trump ended the tuition benefit for instate illegals and that’s soft? He was out in front on it.
What has Trump done, not said, but done about illegal immigration?
Walker’s won more elections in four years than any candidate running and he did it under tremendous pressure from the media, Democrats and public unions. He was enemy number one.
It’s absurd to discount all that real life, in-the-trenches activity. He’s the only Reagan in the race.
Well if Trump’s workers are not legal they will be as soon as President Walker declares amnesty. LOL!
You’ve got stars in your eyes. It’s like he’s a Tiger Beat coverboy. Brook no idols, girl.
He’s won three elections in four years. He knows how to be bold. He’s been bold and will be, especially where it counts - in office.
I am not a big fan of Will and he’s a softy, ready to compromise inside the beltway to keep the peace. That said, Walker is the real deal.
Congress still has to approve any trade bills and agreements.
The thing they have an issue with is the transparency portion of section 104.
It’s another bill that didn’t get that many people looking at it but it got a vote such is the nature of Demopubs and Republocrats these days.
Walker is not a Senator nor a Congressman, so he wouldn’t have full knowledge or access to the bill either way.
So bringing up his support of a bill that made labor unions, an enemy of the people, mad is what?
What counts is that he demonstrates boldness now. He needs to create some buzz about his candidacy. I understand how conservatives have felt the need to be stealthy. The media pounds the crap out of them once they speak their minds. It is different now thanks to DT.
Trump couldn't be competitive in that business if he wasn't hiring illegals.
If they existed MSNBC would be interviewing them on TV.
With all the air time he's been getting, it is obvious the MSM loves Trump.
I don't disagree with you. And Cruz is also bad on the "more legal immigration" and "more H1-B visas" issues. That is why I, for now, am with Trump. His plan makes Walker and Cruz look like Democrats. Whether he believes it or not, who knows.
Delusion is a wonderful thing. LOL!
As spoken from personal experience.
I wouldn't know. Twit.
Walker is just like his brother Mittens, that’s why I call him Mitt Walker. Small man with no Eye of the Tiger and would loss to the Dems in the last month of the run by giving up. Small man, little dick and a back biter.
Well since you have run out of arguments and devolved to name calling I’ll just declare victory at this point. LOL!
