I like the idea of taking a firm approach to Chinese currency manipulation.

I don’t think actually cancelling the state visit is a good idea.. but putting the Chinese leader on the spot in a live press conference would be great!

Walker has made a few missteps in his campaign but if he owned up to the mistakes and began acting in a very firm and resolute manner he could recover IMO.

He needs to distance himself from the GOPe and clarify his stance on immigration.

I was a cheerleader for Walker when he was acting as a righteous warrior and facing down the unions in Wis.

My original fav primary candidates were..

1-Cruz
2-Trump
3-Walker
4-Carson

I’d still like to see Walker and Carson serving in some capacity in a Cruz/Trump administration. Any of the above 4 men are an order of magnitude better than dumb old Jeb!
Jeb! is just effing sad :-(

We need to export our goods to China's markets and Walker understands this. It's a different thing when you're the president and you have national security issues (among other things) where you have an ability (and obligation) to lean on another country.

April 2013: Scott Walker to lead China trade mission

"Gov. Scott Walker will lead a trade mission to China starting Friday, and he won't be alone among governors pitching their states' companies there. Walker will lead a group of business leaders on his first overseas trade mission, a portion of which will involve group meetings with other governors also leading their own trade missions.

The choice of China for the governor's first trip is significant given the size of the market and the growing activity of Wisconsin companies exporting there: China didn't rank in the top 10 among export markets for Wisconsin businesses 10 years ago, but it has been climbing steadily, ranking third in 2012 behind Mexico and Canada.

Wisconsin exports to China totaled $1.5 billion last year, up 12% from 2011. China also ranks third among Wisconsin's agricultural export markets.

It will be a challenge to determine whether the trip is a success, but clearly the expansion over the past decade has been significant, said Dan Paulson of InVision Business Development in Madison, which provides consulting for companies on strategies to enter the China market.".....
