With a new GOP candidate announcing their candidacy every few days it seems, it is hard to hypothesize who is going to win the presidential nominee. Candidates such as Scott Walker, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul all bring new and different ideas to the table. They will also appeal to very different social, economic and religious groups. It also may not be any of these candidates but there are some early predictions. As of now it is thought that Scott Walker has commanded a rough 12-15% of the votes over the course of several months which is very unusual for candidates to do.
There are a few reasons why I believe this is the case. First Scott is an experienced executive as he is the Governor of Wisconsin. Further more his more libertarian-esque fall more into line as to where the party is evolving. The Republican party is experiencing a major shift in ideals from the "old ways" of social conservatism to the new hands off and personal freedoms approach. Gov. Walker is also a major supporter of state over federal rights which is becoming increasingly popular on both sides of the aisle as well as in independent voters. Finally I think that Gov. Walker will be the nominee because he appeals to the classic blue collar working man. He has risen through the political ranks without a college degree through hard work and dedication, a true testament to his spirit and character.
