Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker officially announced his bid for the White House this afternoon to an enthusiastic crowd. Walker covered plenty of policy in his speech, but what surprised many — but shouldn’t have — was that he delivered his remarks without relying on a teleprompter.

Walker has done an impressive job memorizing his speech (which is a version of his familiar stump speech from the past few months)

@redsteeze @POTUS Teleprompters should be banned from politics. If you can't speak for yourself, you got no business running the country.

No tie?
Presidential announcement attire getting more and more casual. Will @JohnKasich announce in Bermuda shorts?
