DRUDGE: Scott Walker Clear Front-Runner

By Douglas V. Gibbs

As the 2016 GOP field for President of the United States takes shape, we have seen a clear division between the progressive establishment, and the conservatives.  Mitt Romney has bowed out of the race early, but according to the media, his establishment colleague, Jeb Bush, is the front-runner of the massive field of republican candidates.

DRUDGE REPORT, especially after the Iowa Freedom Summit, says that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has catapulted to the lead, with a massive gap behind him, between him and the next candidate.

In the Drudge Report's poll that asked readers of the website who they preferred as the 2016 Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party, with over 84,000 people participating, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker dominated with 47 percent, followed by Texas Senator Ted Cruz at 14 percent and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul at 13 percent.  Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who has been anointed by the party establishment as the front-runner in the race, received a mere 5 percent.

Walker's executive experience includes being elected in the blue State of Wisconsin as governor, while campaigning on conservative principles.  Once in office, he put his conservative agenda into action, including taking on the unions.  Two years into his term, he faced a recall election, fueled by the unions, and high-powered democrats, with leftist money being pumped into the area in every attempt to dislodge the governor.  The protests led to a recall election that Walker survived, and then two years later he won reelection.

The targeting of Scott Walker by the progressive left revealed how despicable the leftists truly are, because Walker's policies were successful.  They had no reason to target him, other than for ideological reasons, because Walker's policies were beneficial to the State of Wisconsin.  But he was targeted for destruction because he dared to stand against progressivism, and the powerful arm of leftism in America: the unions.

Governor Scott Walker's accomplishments in Wisconsin includes balancing the State's budget, eliminating the State's deficit, eliminating collective bargaining and forcing the unions to take a step back as the finances of Wisconsin were rerouted so as to function more efficiently, and then afterward cutting taxes - or as Walker called it, returning the money to the people.

The unions and liberal left Democrat Party special interest groups spent tens of millions of dollars to get Walker out of office, launching a recall election to accomplish their plans.  But, the voters were not voting red or blue, but based on a record of success, they voted for the person they believed was best for their State, and Scott Walker prevailed.  The voters preferred the new prosperity in Wisconsin, rather than the history they could still remember of Democrat Party orchestrated high taxes, bloated budgets, and unchecked and unaccountable spending.

Scott Walker, as governor of Wisconsin, did not do anything nobody expected. He campaigned on doing exactly what he did, and the people put him into office because that is what they wanted. The voters elected Walker with the hopes he would eliminate the deficit, provide freedom of choice to public employees, and return the State to the hands of the people. As he promised, Walker did not raise taxes, and after getting rid of collective bargaining, despite the hysteria of doom spread by the leftists, there were no massive layoffs of state employees. The budget in Wisconsin is balanced, the schools are functioning better, and the unemployment rate, unlike in the rest of the country, and without having to manipulate the numbers like the Obama administration has been doing, has gone down dramatically.

Scott Walker's message in Wisconsin, and to America for the 2016 Presidential Election, is that conservative policies work. Conservative policies fix damaged economies. Conservative policies eliminate deficits, and creates jobs.  Government can function within its means as constitutionally demanded.  Government can function without the power being in the hands of special interest groups, unions, and liberal left socialist progressive crazies.

The message is clear, and if the establishment would just get out of the way, Scott Walker will easily win the 2016 Election, and be our next President of the United States.

If someone like Jeb Bush, or Chris Christie, is the candidate, instead of Scott Walker, the GOP will lose, once again, in 2016.

The problem is, the establishment Republicans want control over a big government system no different than the Democrats.  Big government politics equals greater political power, and the greedy establishment shuns the constitutional principles of limited government because a government that follows constitutional authorities is a system where the politicians have less power. . . and like the Democrats, establishment Republicans like Jeb Bush and Chris Christie don't want to lose the opportunity to grab a hold of greater political power.

In short, someone like Jeb Bush is in the race for the political power.  Scott Walker is in the race for the opportunity to do what is best for America.

The Republican Party Establishment, the political consultants, the Democrats, and the media all say that Scott Walker is too conservative to win in 2016, and if the Republican Party nominates such a radical right-wing candidate, they will lose the election.  The last time they said that, the candidate was Ronald Reagan, and Mr. Reagan won by a landslide.
