Scott Walker had some words of advice for congressional Republicans who are looking to emulate the success of GOP governors: Lay out a plan, talk in terms that are relevant, and have the courage to act.

“Unfortunately a lot of Americans look at Washington and don’t think anyone’s had the courage to do anything they need,” the Wisconsin governor said on Morning Joe earlier today. Walker, who some suspect is mulling a 2016 presidential bid, touted the accomplishments of his fellow governors in states such as New Mexico, Ohio, and Nevada, among others, where the executives have put these traits to use.



“We’re not just against something, we’re laying out a plan, we’re laying out a vision, people gravitate to that,” he added.

During the interview, Walker also reiterated that he is against a potential government shutdown over the funding of Obamacare, though he has voiced his opposition to the law itself.

“People want things to work,” Walker said. “Most Americans, even if they don’t like the size and growth of government, they still want something to work, something very fundamental to work,”
