GOP 2016 Contenders Gather in Iowa for 'Roast and Ride'

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker declared to Iowa Republicans on Saturday that "it's time in America that we start leading, not just here but around the world."

"We need a president who will stand up and tell the American people what may be hard to say: that this threat is not the threat that we faced in the Cold War, where containment's enough," Walker said about destroying the Islamic State at the inaugural charity "Roast and Ride" sponsored by Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst in Boone.

"This is like a virus — and if we don’t take it out, we're in trouble," Walker said.

"I don’t believe in open-ended engagements, but I believe we need a president who will say that, 'This not going to take a day, a month, or a year — but I, on behalf of your children and mine, would rather take the fight to them instead of waiting for them to bring the fight to us.

"We need to lead from the front again in America," he said.

Walker, who joined Ernst on his Harley-Davidson Road King for a 49-mile ride from Des Moines to the fundraiser in Ernst’s hometown, was among seven Republican presidential candidates and hopefuls who attended a pig roast and other activities at the event.

The others were declared candidates: Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina; former Govs. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and Rick Perry of Texas; retired pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, and former Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Carly Fiorina.
