2015 RedState Gathering: on Foreign Policy


Scott Walker: Tore into Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran

After Ted Cruz, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was one of the most talked-about candidates of the weekend. Attendees, many of them Southerners from right-to-work states themselves, expressed admiration for his work taking on unions in the Midwest, and a number of RedStaters interviewed said they were deciding between Cruz and Walker. Cruz was inspirational, they said--but they were also impressed by what they knew of Walker's record of winning elections and taking on labor in Wisconsin. His address Saturday afternoon, which closed out the convention and relied heavily on his usual stump speech, was well-received by a crowd that hasn't seen as much of him yet. And while some have questioned whether the governor is deeply versed in foreign policy, that portion of his speech--especially when he tore into the Obama administration's nuclear deal with Iran--earned him a rousing standing ovation.
