In Colorado, Scott Walker details why he can beat Clinton

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/in-colorado-scott-walker-details-why-he-can-beat-clinton-b99527944z1-310419001.html


"To beat a name from the past, we need a name from the future," he said, repeating a dig he has made in the past against Republican candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

Secondly, he said, Clinton is a consummate Washington insider. "We are the anti-Washington," he said.

Finally, he said, Clinton failed to accomplish anything of substance during her term as secretary of state. "We've actually got things done," he said.

...

Walker's spoke before the question-and-answer period. The theme of his speech was freedom, which he said "does not come from the mighty hand of the government."




"We've actually got things done" said the college dropout and grammar-challenged governer (sic).

A.L.E.C., Americans For Prosperity, the Cato Institute, etc.

Walker isn't the leader he plays on televisions. Much like 'lil boots', aka 'w', he is an amenable place holder who is capable of learning and repeating memes and using them to promote what others want.

One of the dangerous things Walker makes real is idea men working from behind the throne. Which is probably why the Kochs have interest in him at all.

He pretends about everything.

HE is the jerk. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

over the distribution of money in the state budget battle.

Walker is going to look as bad as all the other governors who have worked to starve government to death.

It turns out Republican politicians realize their constituents don't like the feel of anorexia.

the dynasty issue, although he did not present it as such. msm is drooling over the possibility of an epic battle between a clinton and a bush. frankly, i have had enough of both.

we don't need any more remnants of aristocracy in 2016 united states.

bernie all the way!!!
