Ten Reasons for Scott Walker victor 2016

[Reason10]

http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/reasons-scott-walker-candidate-2016/2015/02/12/id/624338/


1. He wins elections. Walker won three tough races in blue state Wisconsin within four years: His election as governor in 2010, his victory in the recall election in 2012 — despite the millions of dollars spent by unions to defeat him — and his re-election by nearly 6 percentage points in 2014.

2. He's a fiscal hawk. Walker showed his financial chops in his determination to cut the state budget and rein in public-employee unions, efforts that ultimately led to the recall vote.

3. His economic policies have been a success. Walker has reduced unemployment in his state and erased a budget deficit that stood at some $3.6 billion when he took office.


4. He's a governor. Many GOP strategists anticipate that voters will be suffering from buyer's remorse for putting a first-term senator in the White House, and expect Republicans to nominate a governor for president this cycle. That gives Walker an edge over several potential GOP candidates, including Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

5. He has broad support among Republicans. Walker is admired by grass-roots activists as well as mainline party insiders, and he is viewed as the candidate who could unite the two disparate wings of the party next year.

6. He has won in a Blue State three times. He's shown he can reach across the aisle, a trait that will be attractive to voters after eight years of partisan warfare between a Democratic president and Republicans in Congress. The day after he won the recall election, Walker invited his state's Democratic legislators to the governor's mansion for beer and brats, telling them to bring their wives and urging, "Let's find something we can agree on."

7. He can win votes from independents. He carried the independent vote by 11 percent in 2014 in an election with one of the highest voter turnouts in Wisconsin in decades.

8. He's from the Midwest, a region where Republicans need to improve at the polls. Obama not only won Wisconsin in 2012, but also Iowa — where Walker spent much of his childhood — Minnesota, and Illinois with their 46 total electoral votes, not to mention Michigan and Ohio.

9. He is an excellent speaker. Walker talks fluidly without notes and has proven himself a skilled debater who can think on his feet. His address at the Iowa Freedom Summit on Jan. 24 made a huge impression.

10. He has considerable political experience. Before becoming governor, Walker served four terms in the state assembly and more than eight years as Executive of Milwaukee County.










If the Republican Party grows a brain and nominates Scott Walker, he WILL be the next president. If Hillary sees this and makes the stupid decision to run anyway, she will be humiliated in a way that will make the Monica Lewinski story look like a lottery win by comparison.

Limbaugh: Scott Walker Should Say He Quit College Because He 'Didn't Want To Be Accused Of Rape'

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh offered some unsolicited advice on Thursday to fellow college dropout Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R).

Limbaugh said during his show that if Walker, a potential presidential contender, were to be asked about why he left college, he should respond this way: "I left college because I didn't want to be accused of rape someday."

"Now he can't say that, of course," Limbaugh continued. "But, I mean, just ram it right down their throats. They're trying to create this 'rape culture' on the campus."

"It seems like any man that goes to college could randomly be accused of committing rape!" he added.

MILWAUKEE — Scott Walker was gone. Dropped out. And in the spring of his senior year.

In 1990, that news stunned his friends at Marquette University. Walker, the campus’s suit-wearing, Reagan-loving politico — who enjoyed the place so much that he had run for student body president — had left without graduating.

To most of the Class of 1990 — and, later, to Wisconsin’s political establishment — Walker’s decision to quit college has been a lingering mystery.

As soon as he has to go national in the debates then the tide turns. Nationally the country isnt far right and walker cannot run away from his far rightness in Wisconsin. The right wants to believe the majority of the country thinks like them but it does not.

[zelmo1234]

Neither Bush was considered a moderate! Bush on e was closer that JR. when Bush one moved to the left and compromised on taxes he was defeated by Clinton! The last moderate that the Republican party elected was Nixon, and that did not turn out to well.

McCain, and Romney were form the very moderate wing of the party and they were crushed. Dole was form the same wing, and he was also crushed.

when republicans win they run on conservative principles and they have a well laid out plan. This is what it will take. Jeb, Christie, Huntsmen would all be crushed by the Democrat, because there really is NO difference!

Bold differences and Conservative values will be the one way to win elections for republican.

Of course you do , this is what the left has been telling the right for years. And every time they succeed in getting a moderate nominated? The democrat wins the white house.

But back on main street the conservatives have more Governors mansions and state houses than any time in history!

The blue states of the rust belt! have turned to republicans. And the Democrats think that the country has moved to the left.

Now the world is more dangerous. and the people think that the country is going in the wrong direction!

Remember Carter was gong to crush Reagan! And then life happened.

Then, in 1987, after he had begun a series of productive summit meetings and concluded an arms treaty with the new Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and issued a direct challenge: “Mr. Gorbachev—tear down this wall!”[23] (http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/06/ronald-reagan-conservative-statesman#_ftn23) His four dramatic summit meetings with Gorbachev were unlike any previous U.S.–Soviet summits: Reagan insisted upon arguing fundamental principles of democracy and human rights versus Communist ideology rather than negotiating narrowly about technical military details and small-bore trade agreements.

Reagan’s strategy was vindicated starting in late 1988 when Gorbachev publicly repudiated the “Brezhnev doctrine,” which held that the Soviet Union would defend socialism everywhere by force of arms if necessary. Gorbachev’s decision to remove Soviet troops unilaterally from Eastern Europe contributed in short order to Eastern European nations, starting with Poland, throwing off Communist rule. In November 1989, the Berlin Wall came down, and in 1991, the Soviet Union dissolved.

Margaret Thatcher later said that “Reagan won the Cold War without the firing of a shot.”[24] (http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/06/ronald-reagan-conservative-statesman#_ftn24) Princeton historian Sean Wilentz, a liberal who is generally no friend of conservatives or Republicans, wrote of Reagan: “His success in helping finally to end the cold war is one of the greatest achievements by any president of the United States—and arguably the greatest single presidential achievement since 1945.”[25] (http://www.heritage.org/research/reports/2013/06/ronald-reagan-conservative-statesman#_ftn25)

[cutman]

Why is it that the Republican moderates never win elections?

That isn't true. GHWB and Ronald Reagan would be moderates in today's climate. I do believe some of Nixon's policies would place him there as well. Was GWB a moderate? That depends on whom you ask.

I think what you're talking about is Senator McCain and Governor Romney vs. President Obama.

Nothing on God's green earth was going to give the GOP another term after the Bush fiasco in the middle east. McCain didn't help matters any by picking Sarah Palin and suspending his campaign when TARP was being debated. As for Governor Romney, there is ample, fertile ground to cast doubt on his campaign team. In the first place, he allowed the democrats to define him. They (the Democrats) went on the offensive early questioning him about his tax returns, his Cayman Island accounts and by attacking his service at Bain.

In the primaries, you can make up ground when you're attacked because it is such a long season with staggered rewards. In the General Election, it's all or nothing as you move forward and a bad two-weeks can wound you pretty severely. A bad month and it's all over. Romney's team was probably suited well for the primaries. But they seemed to think that there was "always a tomorrow" on the campaign trail in the General. In late July, Romney actually left the country and went to Israel, London, and Poland of all places. When he got back in early August, the "Romney killed my wife ad" which never actually aired on television, soured the landscape even more. In Mid September, the Mother Jones 47% video surfaced which all but did him in. The first debate helped but the VP debate and the subsequent two presidential contests were ones where Romney clearly lost either on points or a knockout.

By the end, the massive amounts of cash meant little for Romney since in October and November, the local, congressional district, and other state-wide races take up ad space in the papers and air time on radio and TV. Having money is great but not if you have nowhere to spend it.

Moderate republicans can and will win Presidencies in the future. There is no doubt about it. But they have to show up and campaign effectively.

The guy that interviewed him in England says Walker has been mentioned over 200 times on *cough* Rush Limbaugh lately.


Tell, me. Is Polifact, the guys who gave Obama the Lie of the Year a while back, "left wing propoganda"?

Ok... ok and ok.

Obama is black. First black elected president.

But for skin color, what do you see in him?

Don't tell me he won't run again cause I know that. But the Hildebeast is not black. She was part of the crap he did.

Tell me why any of us should vote for her.

I will vote for Walker as I said from day one.
