Walker’s Obamacare Alternative: Setting the Record Straight"..................In short, Walker’s alternative would provide overdue tax-relief for the middle class, cut federal spending and taxes by 13 figures apiece, and provide commonsense protections for those with preexisting conditions. It’s a political and policy winner.

Obamacare is the centerpiece legislation of Barack Obama’s presidency. It was very unpopular when the Democrats passed it, cost the Democrats the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014, and remains very unpopular more than five years after Obama signed it into law. It is ripe for repeal. The only thing that’s been missing is a candidate who is willing to champion a credible conservative alternative. Walker has now stepped into that leadership void and has shown a willingness to take on this crucial fight. If he makes his alternative the centerpiece of his campaign, he may well have the chance to sign legislation in early 2017 that would mark a defining turn in the battle between limited-government conservatism and big-government liberalism."

"The Canadian border got dragged into the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign on Sunday, with a prominent candidate appearing to entertain the notion of building a giant wall between the two countries.

The idea was raised in a talk-show interview with Republican contender Scott Walker, who after being pressed twice by the interviewer appeared to agree it was worth considering.

"Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire. They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law-enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town-hall meetings about a week and a half ago," the Wisconsin governor said during an interview with NBC's Meet The Press.

"So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at."

Walker didn't dwell on the issue. He quickly steered the conversation to the Middle East, rebuilding the military, and national security. The exchange about Canada never even made it to air, and was edited out of the interview highlights that ran on Meet The Press and was simply posted on NBC's website. Source
