"America needs new, fresh leadership with big, bold ideas from outside of Washington to actually get things done," Walker said in a new video. "I am running for president to fight and win for the American people."

7. Love it. I am going to steal your poster!!

[trusty elf]

8. Please do!

[alterfurz]

27. Walker got caught stealing the "America's Best" logo...

...but fortunately he had a quick-fix backup!

[47of74]

35. LOL. Gonna swipe.

[HassleCat]

5. Welcome, welcome, welcome!

Nice to have you and your Ayn Rand ideas in the race. I'm travelling through your beautiful state right now, the state in which I was born, the state you transformed with your big, bold ideas. Yep. You did a great job, Scotty. Everybody here is talking about your big, bold ideas. They wish they could get their big, bold hands around your big, bold neck and strangle you until you turn a big, bold shade of blue.

[riversedge]

11. oh, I think

true blue Wisconsinites can out vote him come Nov 2016 without thinking of his neck. I just think of his mouth when each time he opens it he lies.

[murielm99]

50. Is that true?

Are you finding that everywhere?

My family found that only in Madison and Milwaukee.

My daughter lived there until eighteen months ago. My mother lives near the Dells. My cousins are near Watertown and River Falls. They despise Walker, but they are lifelong Democrats.

I hope this is true.

[HassleCat]

52. Still a Tea Party favorite

But most other people feel they got duped by the Tea Party. Even my cousins, who are pretty red neck, are complaining about Walker.

[riversedge]

6. Any one notice that Walker has no originality?

He pouches Hillary's words--I will fight for you.

YUP--the man can't even come up with his own motto's for entering the clown car!

I'm in. I'm running for president because Americans deserve a leader who will fight and win for them. - SW http://ScottWalker.com #Walker16

12. No, because those words are likely among the most generic phrases uttered by candidates

They were not new and original when HRC stated them. I suspect that there will be some of his supporters who find this inspiring.

[yurbud]

28. someone needs to santorum him, so when you google his name...

you get a frothy discharge or something similar

[n2doc]

9. Rewritten for accuracy:

"America needs new, dependable corporate lapdogs with big, bold scams from ALEC to actually get the destruction of American Democracy done," Walker said in a new video. "I am running for president to fight and win for David and Charles Koch."

[rpannier]

10. I thought he was already running

Not that it matters
He's just one more for the Mouth of New York to overshadow

[kenfrequed]

13. Bernie already beat him.

Walker couldn't even get a third of the people that Bernie Sanders got to show up.

[Vinca]

14. This is the GOP candidate I'm actually worried about . . . really.

He seems to have the ability to charm the ignorant masses on both sides of his party and reminds me of Dubya. It would be a disaster for this country - worse than Dubya - if he ever managed to become POTUS.

[HereSince1628]

16. The Walker-W nexus runs though Bradley Foundation...yes, THAT Bradley Foundation

the one that funded the NeoCon's "Project for a New American Century" aka PNAC.

Considering Walker's almost total reliance on the ideas of others, there really is reason to consider the dangerous motivations of the others that provide oxygen to Walker's political life.

[Bettie]

20. He does seem to say one thing

and people believe that he said a totally different thing.

I'm from Wisconsin and it makes me so sad to see what he has done and continues to do to my home state.

[still_one]

25. You are absolutely right, and has the backing of the Koch brothers

[Thor_MN]

15. We have empirical evidence of the resullt of Walker's policies...

Just look at what has happened to Wisconsin. He has dropped it near the bottom of every stat that it id good to be at the top.

A rational person would look at Wisconsin's performance over the last years and say that policy is failing.

[Red1]

17. Worthless

18. Just think.

We wouldn't be dealing with this bozo right now if Wisconsin had simply flushed him down the toilet of history where he belongs.

Thanks.

[still_one]

24. After electing him three times

[Botany]

19. "... bold ideas from outside of Washington to actually get things done,"

[alarimer]

21. I'm not sure who is the worst of this bunch.

Sometimes I think it's Trump because he is an asshole. Sometimes I think it's Christie (has he announced yet, I can't keep up). Sometimes I thin it's Cruz because he strikes me as someone who would be head of the SS, given the opportunity.

But then there is Walker, who is actively running Wisconsin into the ground and I can't help but feel it is a template for what he would want to do as President.

[HoosierCowboy]

22. What happened in Wisconsin

Is a tale of what happens when a state has a first rate education system, and no follow up. Wisconsin's education system was considered first rate up to about the 90's. That's when the brain drain caught up with the State, only dumb people were left to vote and gave us this sphincter boy.

[still_one]

23. No one should underestimate him. He has the backing of the Koch brothers, and has won 3 times in a

purple state, and he is is running second in most polls among all the other republican candidates, and he hadn't even announced

[47of74]

37. The head local teabagger was swooning over him when he was in town.

Of course he might have changed over to Trump since then.

[still_one]

42. It is the Koch brother support that concerns me

[LynneSin]

45. But he has never won an election during a presidential election cycle

Those were midterms or off-cycle elections when voters turnouts were much lower.

Who won the Wisconsin Senate seat in 2012? Tammy Baldwin the first openly gay person to be elected to the US Senate and of course, a democrat.

And also Ron Johnson's Wisconsin senate seat is also looking very vulnerable again because this is a presidential election year.

It is a shame that the democratic voters cannot be reliable to show up every election but they will show up at least every 4 years. In 2012 there was a 65% voter turnout across the country (Based on eliglbe voters). In 2014 there was only a 33% voter turnout. Even if we can get 50% of the voter turnout in 2016, Scott Walker won't even win his own state. And we'll see Russ Feingold return to the US Senate.

[Sunlei]

26. Governor Scott Walker, right lets see what lawsuits your Lawyers hide from Public view first.

[yurbud]

29. I wish that DJ who prank called him as a Koch brother had gone farther...

like, "Scott, one of our toilet paper brands is really struggling. Could you start mentioning it in your speeches and when you talk to your constituents?"

[cyberswede]

30. whee!

[oldandhappy]

32. cool! Thanks.

[oldandhappy]

31. fresh? new?? He has run 14 times in 27 years??

Something like that. sigh.

[rurallib]

33. The American People respond

With friends like this who needs enemies?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

34. You lying sack of shit.

You won't get away with these lies if you become the nominee.

[47of74]

36. As fresh as a pool of liquid manure

[LibDemAlways]

38. Never ceases to amaze how enough people can

be hoodwinked into voting for a piece of shit like this that he actually was elected governor. Textbook example of ordinary people shooting themselves in the foot in the voting booth.

[47of74]

39. As well as the other foot, one hand, the other hand, and both kneecaps.

[LibDemAlways]

40. Truer words....

[jmowreader]

41. We got a president with fresh, bold ideas from outside Washington 15 years ago

Then he let nineteen terrorists tear down the World Trade Center, started two wars and lost both, killed 22 million jobs, converted a $110 billion surplus into a $1500 billion deficit, and got the government's entire store of state secrets handed over to the Internet. Given the track record of Washington outsiders, give me the most embedded Beltway insider I can find.

Walker reminds voters of union, recall victories as he joins crowded 2016 Republican field

VideoVideo (01:41) : Gov. Scott Walker enters presidential race with tweet and this campaign video.


MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker declared his candidacy for president on Monday, casting himself as a "fighter" who muscled through an aggressive conservative agenda in a state that typically supports Democrats.

The second-term governor becomes the 15th high-profile Republican to enter the GOP presidential contest, yet he says he occupies a unique space in the congested field.

"In the Republican field, there are some who are good fighters, but they haven't won those battles. And there are others who've won elections, but haven't consistently taken on the big fights. We showed you can do both," Walker said in a video released by his campaign. "I am running for president to fight and win for the American people."

Walker is highlighting his clashes with labor unions as the foundation for his candidacy. His late-afternoon announcement is set in the same convention hall where he hosted his victory party after winning a union-backed recall election...................

46. Scott Walker Announces Candidacy to Destroy America's Economy

The GOP is such a joke. And this new clown is a puppet for the Koch brothers.

Scott Walker Announces Candidacy to Destroy America's Economy

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari): Earlier today, Koch brothers' puppet Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R) announced his candidacy to destroy America's economy by using the same failed trickle-down economic policies he has employed in Wisconsin. Walker's announcement was largely overshadowed by the unfolding debt crisis in Greece, which Walker promised would pale in comparison to what he intended to do to the global economy.

And...

Walker added, "I have also wasted tax payer funds by giving money to businesses that were ineligible for it, because I did not provide proper oversight for handouts to taker businesses. Do you know Wisconsin ranks dead last in the country for new business start-up activity because of me?"
