If this is how Scott Walker treats his “friends,” God help his enemies. Probably the single hardest shot of the nascent 2016 primaries so far:

I am liking Walker more and more.
The media just cannot seem to box him in. He just refuses to play their game.
Good, I hope he keeps outfoxing them at their own game.
He did get a tad boxed in on amnesty and ethanol - but you’re right, he’s handling the liberal media well.
He has, however, been the beneficiary of maybe 50 million dollars worth of free positive publicity from Drudge and Rush the past month. It won’t be that way every month.
He’s not a perfect conservative, but standing up to the media, the reactions of the big labor unions, and a real attempt to both recall and get him voted out of office are something that counts, and if anything, it’s potentially the best choice we’ve had in some time.
Having watched Walker in WI for the past few years, it’s clear he is very strategic in how and when he engages. When you listen to him (in radio interviews) explain how he intends to approach an issue, it’s rational and reasonable. Rather than attacking Jeb head-on, he tosses this out in a matter-of-fact way that many people will nod and say, “yep that’s right”, planting a seed he can come back to in the future, and how can the Bushes say it isn’t accurate?
Big donor to Scott Walker.
Oh I agree with that - and I like him as a candidate a lot. I have no problem with anything he said about Jeb.
I do think the Republican who focuses on the Democrats and the liberals will eventually win the nomination however.
Scott Walker is out there drawing fire - will his high visibility work for him, or against him?
He probably has a problem with name recognition as compared to, oh, say, Jeb Bush, and this high visibility now can only elevate him in the consciousness of a much wider public. His enemies already know who Scott Walker is - he was probably one of the persons able to inflict a stinging blow against the liberal causes and sacred cows, by throwing back their efforts to keep him out of office, or get him out later. Apparently their efforts fell on deaf ears among the previously undecided or unmotivated, even as the faithful were being whipped into a frenzy, a pretty ineffectual frenzy, as it turned out.
Judging from how difficult it has been for the left to mount an effective campaign against Walker, he just keeps on looking better and better. Oh, they come up with charges that end up having no merit, and various ad hominem attacks, but like mud flung at a Teflon wall, very little sticks. Sure, something really serious that manages to score heavily may come up, and that will be a definite obstacle to be negotiated and minimized somehow, but considering past performance, the chances of survival still appear to be better than even.
Charisma? If Scott Walker does not seem to have shown much just yet, he may yet develop a pretty good facsimile before much longer.
That’s kind of a red flag. Anybody seen an American roofer lately?
Anybody know if this guys crews are Americans?
What a piece of crap! Walker’s statements are measured, dignified and principled. In no way did he “attack” Jeb Bush, as the author implies.
Walker is the man to lead the restoration of America, IMO
Walker Rocks!
Ummmmm...didn't read the link did you? This "guy" is a lady, and she is the owner of a large roofing materials business.
There are benefits to not having an Ivy League education.
No I didn’t.
Roofing materials business is different than a roofing business that would need large numbers of fraudulently documented foreigners.
The problem is not Jeb Bush (who can never win). The problem is GOP leadership that is so stupid it thinks he can.
