Walker doesn’t show that he has that bulldog in him to remove it. He doesn’t talk about repeal. He’s just... there... albeit getting stuff done as you say.

Walker deep-sixed the mil-madison high speed rail in week one.

The bulldog in Scott Walker is easily aroused by over-reaching Dems. He didn't campaign on Act 10. He DID campaign on getting the budget under control. And there is no lame duck like a lame duck Dem governor with next term's money to spend. Walker was behind the eight ball.

The unions stupidly thought that by letting the deal wait until Walker was in, they could neuter him early, and so didn't make a deal when Doyle was on his way out the door.

Walker finds out in short order that the Unions/Dems are not negotiating in good faith, and drops the A bomb.

Also keep in mind that Walker took NO Obama money and set up no state exchange. He basically told the Feds ... you want'em? You got'm. One thing that Walker has that Reagan had, and Cruz may or may not, is the inability to be made into a DEMON in the eyes of the general public. The guy is mild cheddar mild, and talk about him stomping on the necks of the working man wears thin REALLY quickly.

BTW, I really like Cruz, too. Both men have a lot to offer. I hope they aim their cannons at the Bushes, Cristies and Romneys, and not at each other.

I have no argument with Walker’s cred. But just as soon as he gets popular, he’ll be demonized too.

That Cruz knows us well enough to recognize the seething anger over 0bamacare and amnesty and is able to articulate what needs to be done is a strength that Walker lacks - and that strength is what attracts the demon attacks... you know, flak and over the target.... and Cruz lacks the track record of getting things done.

Each has a strength the other lacks - Maybe they’ll end up fixing America as a team?
