Gov. Walker: ‘I’ve Chosen to Endorse Ted Cruz To Be the Next President of the U.S.’
RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"After all the years of Obama Clinton failures, it's time we elect a strong new leader, and I've chosen to endorse Ted Cruz to be the next president of the United States for three simple reasons. One, I just fundamentally believe that he is a constitutional conservative. That's important because I know as a governor and talking to over governors across the country we need a leader in Washington who understands that our founders intended for the power really to be in the states and most importantly in the hands of the people, not concentrated in Washington. Cruz has shown he's willing to act on that. Secondly, I think some really important in Wisconsin, we've shown that we know how to take on the big government special interests and really put the power back in the hands of the hard working taxpayers. That's something, again, that Ted Cruz has not only talked about in this campaign. I think probably more than just about anybody out there in Washington, he has shown he is not afraid to take on the big government special interests even sometimes when they're aligned with our own party. He's not afraid to take on those interests. That's what we need for president as well. And then third, a very practical point, and that is I just fundamentally believe if you look at the facts and the numbers, that Ted Cruz is the best position by far to both win the nomination of the Republican party and to then go on and defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall this year, and that's the key. We want people who are principled, common sense conservatives who are people who do what they say, who stick to their guns but also people who can both win the nomination and go onto defeat Hillary Clinton in the fall, an for that reason I'm proud to endorse Ted Cruz, and I just want to add one other quick thing. I'm sure you have plenty of questions, but I want to make sure that I was supporting something, not against something or someone but rather being for sometimes. I want to be more something, and after a lot of time looking at the speeches and looking at the records and looking at what the candidates say and what they have done in the past, it was an easy call for me to support Ted Cruz."
