Scott Walker: Republicans Need An "Optimistic" Message For 2014
DICKERSON: When you talk about in your book the sour politics of austerity, are you talking about your cousins in Washington, the Republicans running things here?
WALKER: Well, you know, I talk about the difference between Republicans in Washington and Republicans in the states. And one of the key differences is we talk about things that are relevant and optimistic.
We talk about fixing schools, balancing budgets, getting the economy going again. We don't talk about sequesters and fiscal cliffs and debt ceilings. Those are things a handful of people in politics pay attention to.
What Americans want are people with the courage to stand up and fight for them, not fight against each other, fight for the hard- working tax-payers. And in America there are 30 Republican governors doing exactly that just as we speak.
