Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Monday that Republicans do not need to moderate their views to win voter support and that he will run as a conservative if he decides to seek the Republican Party presidential nomination.
"To win the center, you don't have to go to the center. You have to lead," Walker told conservative activists.
Walker made the comment during a telephone town hall meeting with conservative activists, part of a fundraising event for Tea Party Patriots, The Washington Post reported.
His comments followed a weekend trip to New Hampshire in which Walker and one of his top 2016 rivals, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, both campaigned for early positioning in the 2016 presidential race.

Just telling them what they want to hear then he will do as he wants.
Obama did the same thing except on the left instead of the right. Interesting strategy.
He has to do something. He's a shoo-in with the popular vote, but the GOP's myopic sights are still looking at our #10 and #13 rated candidates.
I think they would actually consider a Romney/ Christie ticket! What a bunch of yahoos.
Walker, Gary Johnson, the choices are big, and not excluding Palin.
Unfortunately, the GOP still would rather play politics instead of caring about us or our Constitution.
