2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWalker Stakes His Territory on Foreign Policy
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).
There comes a time in every presidential campaign when the candidate must make his case to voters that he should be trusted to be the commander in chief of the U.S. military and the leader of the free world. That moment is now for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, and he is fighting for his own foreign policy identity against rivals like Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
Walker is ready to roll out his foreign policy in a speech Friday at the Citadel in South Carolina, just a couple of weeks after Bush laid out his plan to defeat the Islamic State. Rubio plans to give his own foreign policy speech in South Carolina on Friday as well, focused on China.
In an interview Tuesday, Walker told me he would be demonstrably different from Bush on foreign policy by scuttling the Iran deal as soon as he took office.
My view is, if you think its a bad deal now, you should be prepared to do it on Day One," he said. "Im going to be a Day One president."

Could see Canada from Wisconsin. His plan is even worse, showing his foreign affairs are lacking if he plans on dumping the Iran Deal on day one, maybe someone should explain this is not a deal between the US and Iran but other countries as well. He may get elected to presidency of the US but not the other nations. Just another misstep by a GOP.
