Scott Walker tweets one of his applause lines


Expect to hear this quote again....and again.... and again. 



Scott Walker shows fire in Iowa.  (The Hill,  1/24/2015)
The governor also showed a rhetorical flourish that's largely been absent from his previous campaigns, drawing the crowd to its feet multiple times.

"There's a reason we take a day off to celebrate the 4th of July and not the 15th of April," he said, almost yelling as his voice grew hoarse. "Because in America we value our independence from the government, not our dependence on it."

And there was the infamous line from Walker a few months ago, which he is trying really hard to make into a soundbite:
It's why we celebrate the 4th of July and not April 15th. In our country, we celebrate true independence because more freedom and more prosperity are what drive the American Dream.
