If he runs for president in 2016, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker promises that "the contrast would be clear" between his foreign policy and that of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"If I choose to get in this race, [foreign policy is] something I'm going to lay out a very clear plan for what we should do going forward, and how we should address the issues we face here in America and the issues we face around the world. I think there's a wide open door to lay out a very clear doctrine. And I do think that if foreign policy plays an important role, the contrast would be clear," Walker said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
"Just about everywhere that Hillary Clinton has played a role with this president, under President Obama, that part of the world is largely a failure, a mess, because of the policies that we've seen from Obama and Clinton," he added.

Asked about his foreign policy credentials, Walker said, "I think as a governor, it's really ultimately about leadership."
"To me, in my lifetime, one of the best presidents when it comes to foreign policy was a governor from California. In my lifetime, one of the worst presidents when it comes to foreign policy was a freshman senator from Illinois," he said.
As an example of what he could do as a governor, Walker pointed to the fact that he already had experience assembling a cabinet and going on trade missions abroad. And he said "having the good sense to listen" to the people he would put in place as president is important...
As for whether he is actually running for president, Walker promised to announce his intentions at the end of June after Wisconsin's state budget is finalized.

I have a real problem with Walker on immigration. That is a huge issue for me. I get it that on the surface the guy seem to have some creds, but I try to follow my instincts and I just don’t trust the guy.
No such issues with Cruz. It is refreshing to be able to support a candidate without reservation.
RIGHT after the primarys...
Ah. Gotcha, I think!
The powers that be... stealing the election with a democrat -OR- a RINO...
CRAWLS my nape..
Finny, that was very well said.
For me, this is likely my last rodeo, bad heart, lungs, diabetes, slow cancer. I think it could be our country’s last rodeo too. If we fail to get the right guy in office, Ted Cruz, we will not get another chance....and least not with a simple ballot.
As long as God has a sense of humor, I’ll end up okay. Those still here will have a tough time with the mess they helped to make.
~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ Ted Cruz is the only true Conservative in this race.
Just leaving well enough alone would be a contrast. She’s failed her way to the top. What does Billy Clinton see in her or what hold does she have on him?
