Speech at 2015 CPAC conference: on Jobs


Scott Walker: Right-to-work rules stand up for the hardworking taxpayers

Walker's goal was to excite the activist crowd [at the CPAC convention] with an energetic speech. So he chose not to stand at the podium that was provided, instead walking around the stage, gesturing and playing off the crowd. He touted his blue-collar background and his conservative policy accomplishments, to frequent cheers.

Overall, Walker looked confident. His speech was enthusiastically received. And toward the end, there was even a bit of a spontaneous "moment," when Walker said Wisconsin was about to become a right-to-work state, and a protester began shouting. Walker yelled in response, "Those voices can't drown out the voices of millions of Americans who want us to stand up for the hardworking taxpayers!" The audience stood up and roared with applause.
