Foreign Affairs, Culture Wars Split GOP Focus Ahead of 2016

Need evidence there's no clear path to the Republican presidential nomination? Consider the competing messages some likely candidates delivered on Sunday's talk shows.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, relatively inexperienced on foreign policy, and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a veteran on the issue, appeared open to sending U.S. ground forces take on Islamic State militants. At the same time, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee was trying to win voters by likening being gay to using alcohol or profanity.

Each approach could ultimately prove successful; both highlight the challenge for the crowded field of potential contenders to stitch together a winning coalition of national security hawks, evangelicals, social conservatives, business leaders and moderates who make up the modern Republican Party.

As the 2016 campaign is beginning to gel, each prospective candidate is testing appeals to voters and, perhaps more important at this early stage, donors. No one has taken the formal step of becoming a candidate, yet all are trying to hone a message.

Take Walker, who has garnered increased interest among the party's conservatives. He delivered a well-received speech to Iowa conservatives last weekend.

The Iowa Poll, conducted last week for The Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics, showed Walker atop the list of potential candidates but statistically even with Huckabee, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and 2012 nominee Mitt Romney when likely caucus goers were asked their top choice for president. The poll was taken before Romney announced he was not running.

That only has increased the unsettled nature of the campaign.

Walker spent his weekend in Washington, wooing party leaders and recruiting aides to a likely campaign. In remarks on Friday and then again on Sunday Walker was seeking to cast himself as more than just a Midwestern governor who rolled back unions' bargaining rights.

"We need to take the fight to ISIS and any other radical Islamic terrorist in and around the world," Walker said Sunday.

Pushed on how he would combat the Islamic State militants, Walker could only say, "We have to be prepared to put boots on the ground if that's what it takes."

WASHINGTON (AP) - Need evidence there's no clear path to the Republican presidential nomination? Consider the competing messages some likely candidates delivered on Sunday's talk shows.

Everything you need to know about the American Sniper culture wars controversy

Clint Eastwoods American Sniper the Oscar-nominated military film that stars Bradley Cooper as Navy SEAL sharpshooter Chris Kyle continues to do big business at the box office and isexpected to pass the $250 million mark over Super Bowl weekend, according to industry estimates.

The R-rated biopic is on a remarkable paceas it approaches its third weekendin theaters. It also grabbed six Academy Awards nominations, including one for best picture and another for Cooper, whose performance as Chris Kyle earned him a best actor nod.

This film was never trying to be a blockbuster, but its performing like one, Rentrak analystPaul Dergarabedian told Variety. And theres continuing controversy about it, which never hurts.

On RedState, Erick Erickson noted: The greatest thing about American Sniper is this its box office take shows the ninnies, for now, remain a minority. Rush Limbaugh called the box office success an extension of the November elections.

The film, which tells the story of the deadliest sniper in U.S.history, has stirred old debates about the Iraq War and Kyles celebrated career and unverifiable legacy.

Heres a look at some of whats been said so far about the movie and the marksman, who was fatally shot in 2013 by veteran Eddie Routh.

Gary Sinise tells off Howard Dean

Michelle Obama: This movie reflects the complex journeys that our men and women in uniform endure.

Nicole Wallace, on The View: Theres a reason this movie is touching such a chord. I think its telling a truth that no ones told. This movie is perfection.

Chris Kyles friend, on Hannity: There is an inherent anti-military bias in Hollywood.And I think if Hollywood could just get past that bias, youd see more military blockbusters that celebrate American exceptionalism, selfless service, honor and integrity on the battlefield.
