Scott Walker Makes The Case Against Jeb Bush

WASHINGTON -- Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) has been locking down donors in anticipation of a 2016 presidential run, he's already awash in cash, and he's seen as his party's frontrunner. But Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has been creeping up in early polling, and he's starting to make the case for why Bush may not be the best choice.

In the March issue of radio host Rush Limbaugh's newsletter, "The Limbaugh Letter," Walker acknowledged that the pull of electing the first female president will be strong for many people. Although he never named Bush, he argued that the best way to beat former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is to offer a fresh face from the Republican Party.

"I think in terms of their policies, they're [Clinton and Barack Obama] very similar," said Walker. "In one regard, she is a third term of a failed president, and certainly history would suggest that's a compelling argument not to elect her. But having said that, much like Barack Obama in 2008 had a historical opportunity to be the first African-American president, obviously she has a historical opportunity to be the first woman elected president."

"If it is just one personality versus another, I'm afraid that by default we go to the 'historic' trend," he added. "If it's just one name from the past versus another name from the past, I'm afraid we default."

Walker tells why Bush cannot beat Clinton
without attacking Bush.

For being “not ready” (as Walker’s critics would claim) this is a very good response.

If it were me, I would have laid into Bush’s positions on illegal aliens, gay “marriage” and common core. But then, I would have alienated those who support Bush now and whose support I would need later.

Governor Scott Walker is the ONLY one who has passed conservative laws and the only person who has defeated the left/democrats and media. and he’s done it repeatedly in a liberal state.Look at his record.

Walker is the only hope for America .

Actions mean everything . Words mean nothing. what the mainstream liberal news media says Walker said means nothing. Walker’s passed conservative laws proving he’s a conservative. Walker’s had victories against the left proving he is effective and can do the job. Action and results matter. liberal media slander of Walker is just lies

As president Walker will restore freedom and prosperity in America.

This socialist monster Obama is destroying America and freedom. I’m counting the days until it no longer is president. If Republican Scott Walker becomes President I will finally have some hope.

I can’t believe the damage this communist monster Obama is doing to America and freedom, and the Internet(his FCC unconstitutionally passed net neutrality laws). Obama and the news media are destroying America, freedom and capitalism on purpose.

I just fear this evil marxist creep Obama will not leave in 2016. what a nightmare this Obama has created for us in a once free country the USA. the Obama pos done all this damage with the help of the news media and the democrat party

I hate Obama , the news media and all democrats who voted for this cretin Obama. I can’t believe we are living in this nightmare. What these traitors have done to America, freedom, opportunity ,prosperity is the worst thing any group has ever done . Walker is the one to restore America , freedom and the Internet . Obama has illegally gotten his FCC to pass socialist net neutrality laws to regulate the Internet (ruin the Internet)

I worry about the influence of Grover “AL-Norquist” on Scott Walker.

Remeber in Nebrask in thwe 2014 election and they had Osborne (a puppet of Norquist) and Ben Sass going against each other, Osborne sounded good and talked the talk.... Untill he mentioned how much he was friends with Grover Al-Norquist, then he spiraled away into Oblivion and Thankfully Ben Sass won the primary and went on to win in Nebraska.

And look today how muc butt Ben Sass is kicking. Nebraska dodged a Grover Norquist bullet.

I would vote for Scott Walker as long I knew for sure he wasn’t in bed or associated with Grover Al-noorquist.
