An interesting look at the GOP field from a Democrat's perspective. Please join the grassroots movement in support of this new leader and "Like" our grassroots Scott Walker page: https://www.facebook.com/SouthCarolinaforScottWalker
The Iowa Freedom Summit marked the de facto start of
the 2016 GOP presidential primaries. Some big names contenders were
conspicuous by their absence, including Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Marco
Rubio, Bobby Jindal, and Rand Paul. However, around ten prominent
potential Republican presidential candidates attended the event. While
the weekend will probably best be remembered for Sarah Palin’s incomprehensibly bizarre
35-minute rambling spiel, the most consequential speech of the weekend
may have been Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s address to the crowd.
Scott Walker is a candidate the Democrats need to be
concerned about. While hard-line conservatives may be drawn to
right-wing firebrands like Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and Sarah Palin, they
are not viable candidates. Walker, on the other hand, has already proven
his mettle, time and again, as a gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin, a
Midwest swing state. Walker’s policies are every bit as right wing as
those proposed by the likes of Cruz and Palin. The problem for
Democrats, however, is that unlike those carnival barkers, Walker cannot
be easily dismissed. He doesn’t just talk about right-wing ideas, he
enacts them. This makes him a dangerous candidate, rather than just an
ideologically driven circus sideshow, like many of his competitors.
