A Uniter and A Fighter: Bush and Walker Videos Illustrate Appeals
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 7, 2015 | Reid J. Epstein

Posted on 07/07/2015 12:17:26 PM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife

To see how Jeb Bush and Scott Walker are approaching the 2016 presidential campaign, listen to the background music in the web videos their respective campaigns released Tuesday.

The soundtrack to Mr. Bush’s video is a series of simple piano scales, from low to high notes, representing the sort of happy-warrior optimism from a candidate who said he’d only seek the White House if he could do so “joyfully.” Mr. Bush narrates the video from footage acquired at his various campaign events.

For Mr. Walker’s video – a setup to his planned campaign launch next Monday – the foreboding orchestral chords sound ripped from an action sequence in a Jerry Bruckheimer film. The Wisconsin governor is never heard from himself. Instead a deep-voiced narrator trades off with video clips of Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) in ticking through his accomplishments – and more importantly for Mr. Walker’s audience, his career-defining victory over the state’s labor unions in his 2012 recall election.

Please stop mentioning this double breasted RNIO Bush! How many times are we Americans going to fall for this crap about “he is the only one who can beat Hillary!”

Enough of this crap and lets get on voting for a real conservative American who actually supports the American people and loves this Country!

They can line up all the RINO’s and march them of the public stage right now, nothing, and I truly mean NOTHING will ever convince me to support a RINO in any upcoming election PERIOD!

These RINO’s will have a better time getting voters to support them by running on the liberal socialist Democrat ticket then trying to convince us Americans they are a conservative!

Ring around the RINO’s, pocket full of lies, and they all fall down!

Heh, “Someone Who’s Done It” is about the worst title for a campaign video. Don’t they know it’s a crime to end a sentence with a dummy pronoun?

July 13. We were invited to the announcement, but at $250/head, I’m taking a pass. It’s a couple of thou if you want to be a sponsor.

I’ve been called to jury duty on Monday (13th).

I don’t know what time Walker’s making his announcement.

Heads up - you may want to post on it.

Thank you. I’ve forgotten the time too, and I deleted the invitation. I’m sure the time will be announced again. The announcement will be in Waukesha — the most Republican County in Wisconsin.

Good, that’s only 5 days away!
He’s held up excellently in the polls without announcing!
I’m excited to watch his announcement!
