With 2015 just getting under way, the buzz of political activity makes it seem almost as if we are already in the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Among the Democrats, Hillary Clinton is honing her message to appeal to the mindset of the left wing of her party, whose support she will need in her second attempt to get the nomination as the Democrats' presidential candidate in 2016.
The left wing's true believers would of course prefer Senator Elizabeth Warren, who gives them the dogmas of the left pure and straight, uncontaminated by reality. But she says she is not running.
Maybe she thinks the country is not ready to put another rookie Senator in the White House. After the multiple disasters of Barack Obama, at home and abroad, that self-indulgence should not be habit-forming.
We can certainly hope that the country has learned that lesson — and that Republican rookie Senators get eliminated early in the 2016 primaries, so that we can concentrate on people who have had some serious experience running things — and taking responsibility for the consequences — rather than people whose only accomplishments have been in rhetoric and posturing.
The more optimistic among us may hope that the Republicans will nominate somebody who stands for something, rather than the bland leading the bland — the kind of candidates the Republican establishment seems to prefer, even if the voters don't.
If the Republicans do finally decide to nominate somebody who stands for something, and who has a track record of succeeding in achieving what he set out to do, then no one fits that bill better than Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin, who has put an end to government employee unions' racket of draining the taxpayers dry with inflated salaries and extravagant pensions.

Agreed.
BTTT
Pre-recall election interview. Walker won that election and Wisconsin has another 4 yrs of his astute leadership. You have to win to play.
Menthops is an anti-Walker troll. Double check all his comments. You’ll see.
Could we get a translation on that? I have read it three times and have no idea of what it means.
It seems that college now is simply a way to gain admission to the club. A huge percentage of the jobs requiring a degree now are the sort that would in the past have been done by a high school graduate or a dropout. Recent college graduates have nowhere near what used to be high school level competency in english, history, civics, geography or literature and very few have the writing skills to even get INTO a PUBLIC high school as they existed in South Carolina in the fifties or early sixties.
I don’t know what to make of the way that math is being taught now but I know that I have met people who need a calculator to figure out what percentage discount would reduce the price of an item from one hundred dollars to eighty dollars and some don’t seem to even know how to find the answer WITH a calculator.
2 bumps!
Cruz or Walker, or DOWN we go.(of this set of mopes)
