Further fueling the speculation around his all-but-certain 2016 presidential bid, Gov. Scott Walker took a swipe Thursday night at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Addressing GOP officials in California at the Republican National Committee winter meeting, Walker used a common theme of his speeches as governor to attack the potential Democratic nominee.

"She lives in Washington. She works in Washington. She came to Washington through this president and his administration," Walker said of Clinton, Politico's Alex Insenstadt reported. "She was in Washington when she was a United States senator. She was in Washington when her husband was president of the United States. You look at everything that people dislike about Washington, and she embodies it."

Walker frequently invokes a contrast between the nation's capital and the state of Wisconsin.

"Some in Washington believe government should play a growing role in our lives and rarely question its expanse. Others have such disdain for government that they attempt to keep it from working at all," Walker said during his State of the State address. "Instead, we have a chance to lead here in Wisconsin. I believe that government has grown too big and too intrusive in our lives and must be reined in, but the government that is left must work."

That speech came one week after his inaugural address, in which he contrasted the difference between Wisconsin and "the politicians along the Potomac."

"We get things done here in the Badger State," Walker said. "There is a clear contrast between Washington and Wisconsin."

The governor, re-elected to a second term in November, has yet to confirm that he'll seek his party's nomination in 2016. But when he describes the candidate he thinks he could win, it sounds an awful lot like him: a governor, a fresh face from outside Washington, someone who's taken on challenges and emerged victorious.

While former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has distinguished himself from the presumed Democratic nominee by voluntarily releasing 250,000 emails from his time as governor drawing a sharp line between himself and Clinton, whose business is notoriously guarded Walker has sought to do the same through rhetoric.

Some on the left aren't buying it.
