SCOTT WALKER GOES BIG AND BOLD AT IOWA FREEDOM SUMMIT

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Breitbart:

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker eschewed the podium at Saturday’s Iowa Freedom Summit, opting to use the full stage to work the room with an incredibly high-energy speech that repeatedly stressed the themes of “common sense conservative reform” and the GOP’s need to “go big and go bold” if they want to win in American politics today.

 

Walker ended by telling Iowans, “I’m going to come back many more times in the future” and pointed to a broader American revival similar to the one he said he’s led in Wisconsin. This seemed to be a clear sign that Walker intends to aggressively pursue the GOP nomination in 2016.

 

Striking a mostly populist pose, Walker began his speech by thanking individuals for helping him to take on “big money Washington,” special interests, and unions in Wisconsin. He also thanked people on behalf of both himself and his wife for their prayers, citing the support they both felt as they endured protests and death threats for pursuing his political agenda in Wisconsin.

 

Occupy Wall Street began in Wisconsin, said Walker, adding that the threat that bothered him the most was one that said they were going to “gut his wife” like a deer.

 

That portion of Walker’s message appeared designed to make the case that he’d have the strength and drive to stay the course, however difficult, should he opt to run for the presidency in 2016. From there, Walker shifted to economics.

 

Citing Wisconsin’s debt and tax situation before his reforms, Walker insisted he wasn’t afraid to go “big and bold,” adding that people in Wisconsin are growing up in a state better than the one in which he was first elected. Walker claimed that Wisconsin is the only state in America that can say that today, noting that he was re-elected three times in a state that trends Democrat.
