Wisconsin’s Republican Gov. Scott Walker says modern Republicanism is the “tale of two parties.”
On a federal level, Republicans are known as the “party of no,” but on a state level Walker says Republicans are a party of optimism, relevance, and courage.
“We’re more optimistic than our friends in Washington. We’re not just against something, we’re laying out a plan, laying out a vision,” Walker said. “That’s how you lead.”
Walker’s name has been floated as a potential 2016 contender—that is, if he can raise his national profile and stand out in a world of shutdown-happy Tea Partiers. A Quinnipiac poll last month found that a Walker could be competitive with Clinton in Iowa.
