Scott Walker announces his candidacy

Scott Walker, the Governor of Wisconsin announced his candidacy for President of United States. I can sense him as, LAMBI RACE KA GHODA (horse for long run). Barring major scandal, he could end up amongst the top 3 republican candidates, possibly getting the nomination. Here is why.

He is a decent looking, energetic speaker, having the capability to woo the audience.(Americans love their Presidential candidates to be charismatic and presentable). In other words he looks and talks Presidential, though not in the same league of Obama, Bill Clinton or Reagan.

Darling of the Conservative base of Republican party and Big Business, having taken the powerful Workers Unions of his state head on. These conservative right wing republicans are ones who mostly vote in the primaries.

If elected to office, on day one he promised to make Iran Deal "null and void". Israel is going to be his first foreign country to visit as POTUS. He paraded one of the 52 hostages from the Iran hostage crisis from 1979 era. This shows he has the backing of pro-Israeli Jewish lobby. So money should not be an issue for him. He also advocated muscular foreign policy, eliminating ISIS (did not elaborate how he will do it).

From a Blue state (as Wisconsin always votes for Democratic Presidential candidate) he can be an asset as he could carry 11 electoral college votes, flipping the solid Democrat state into the Republican column.

Being another Midwestern state close to his home state of Wisconsin. he could win the first Primary state of Iowa. It will put him immediately on spotlight, getting the attention of media and donors. Remember, Republican friendly big businesses won't start opening up their wallets unless they see a fair chance in a candidate. Every business person hate bad investment. They want to bet on a LAMBI RACE KA GHODA (horse for long run), rather than LANGDA GHODA (lame Horse).
