Scott Walker: The Man Hillary Clinton Wants to Face in 2016
The Huffington Post's Politics The Blog ^ | July 13, 2015 | Matt Teitelbaum

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced Monday that he is running for President of the United States. With Walker's announcement, the Republican field of Presidential contenders is expected to include 17 major candidates by summer's end. Consensus among political insiders is that three of those 17 candidates have both a clear shot at winning the nomination and being competitive in a general election matchup with Hillary Clinton.

Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Walker have been dubbed the three candidates to watch in the coming months. Although Democrats salivate at the thought of facing an unelectable Republican like Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, they understand that Republicans are unlikely to actually nominate any of these fringe candidates. When considering the three men that they're most likely to face in a general election, it would appear that Walker would be easiest to beat.

Both Rubio and Bush both have clear advantages as candidates for the Republican Party. Bush ran the high population swing state of Florida for two terms and is clearly attempting to reach out to the crucial Latino voting bloc. As a matter of fact, a Bush victory in the general election would lead to the nation's first Latina First Lady, as Bush's wife Columba Bush is Mexican American. Marco Rubio, who also hails from the all-important swing state of Florida, is himself a Latino American, in addition to being young and telegenic....

Jennifer Lawrence is young and telegenic. You don't see her running for office, do you?

This liberal rag can never tell the truth; so just assume the opposite of everything in the article. Libs are quite concerned about what Walker has done in WI.

“Both Rubio and Bush both have clear advantages as candidates for the Republican Party.”

If they want to continue losing.

The liberals always tell us who they fear most.

In 1980 they were all smiles when RR was nominated.

Come on, we all know that the lefties are wetting their pants for a Dauphin Bush nomination. The Hildabeast campaign ad with Jeb presenting some kind of award to her and praising her and Bubba to the heavens is probably already in the can.

The article proves to me that Dems see everything only through the lens of racial and ethnic blocs, and pay no heed to ability or competence.

Walker did a great job in Wisconsin. But Bush is married to a Mexican.

She wants Jeb.

But Bernie Sanders is likely to be the Democrats candidate after her health fails.

Other than the Nazis, there’s has never existed a more racially obsessed culture than that of the American leftist.

If she can't face Donald Trump. I think Ted Cruz is the one who keeps her up at night.

They do it constantly with advice as to what is “best” for the party, generally to dump its base and avoid its best candidates. I don’t see this on the conservative side; its kind of like your worst enemy giving you the advice that will “save” you from your friends.

“Scott Walker: The Man Hillary Clinton Wants to Face in 2016”

Only if they have sound opposition research indicating Walker did something as nasty as her husband — If she doesn’t have that...there is no way in hell she wants to face him.

Funny, I know a lot of people on the Right who would salivate at the idea of Cruz vs. Clinton.

Heck no, which is why I think they'll be able to refer to the Republican field as Ted and the Seven Dwarfs within a week after the first debate.

Nice try at reverse psychology, progfilth. You may very well get what you want us to believe you’re asking for.

If you REALLY believe that, you can make some serious dough at the betting window. Bernie is 12-1 over at the Euro counters.
