Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin spent months persuading influential Republicans that he alone had the impressive conservative achievements and mainstream American appeal needed to not only win the party’s nomination but also recapture the White House.
Breakout performances on the stump in Iowa early this year vaulted Mr. Walker, who is expected to officially enter the presidential race this month, into the lead in polls in the state with the nation’s first nominating contest, and cemented him among the top three Republican contenders in most national surveys.
But the expectations created by that early prominence, as well as a growing threat from conservative firebrands like Senator Ted Cruz, have taken a toll. To protect his lead in Iowa, a state with a heavily conservative Republican electorate, Mr. Walker has taken a harder line on a number of issues than his allies had anticipated.
Now a growing number of party leaders say Mr. Walker is raising questions about his authenticity and may be jeopardizing his prospects in states where voters’ sensibilities are more moderate....

Cuz what the NY Times really wants to do is help Republican politicians.
Hard right turn.... laughable
Oh no! The New York Times is concerned.
You read that whole thing in just over one minute? You have to teach me how to do that.
LOL. So true. The NY Times is deeply concerned.
As opposed to a continuous hard left turn by the NY Slime—no wonder they are going in circles and cannot get off the commie highway. What a pathetic joke for a newspaper. Does the NY slime really think no one sees its bias?
Most NYers can't acknowledge anything west of the Hudson so no
The NYT seems to regularly use “hard right” describing Republicans.... but it seems they’ve never seen a Democrat that was “hard left”.
Meanwhile the socialist Bernie Sanders is drawing huge crowds of Democrats in Wisconsin and elsewhere. Hmm. Should the New York Times question the extreme left turn of Democratic Party might cost them too in 2016? Of course not the NYT, Bernie, etc are all fellow travelers.
Pretty much. If the New York Slimes, which is to the left of not just 99% of Americans, they are even to the left of 99% of the citizens of communist China, is “concerned” that Scott Walker is turned “hard right”, then Scott Walker is doing something right.
Indeed. The NYT’s habitually affected claptrap.
Strange how with the BY Slimes the focus is ALWAYS on the Republican candidates in terms of scrutinization.
Hitlery's high crimes, howver, go UNDISCUSSED and UNPUNISHED.

Both undiscussed and scrutinixation showed a red underline signifying that they were incorrect in spelling.
NOT true. Checked them both and they are listed in dictionary.com and are BOTH listed as acceptable English language words and spellings.

Yes. The New York Times doesn’t want
1. a man who was born in the U.S.A.
2. to cut big spending on too many useless government employees.
Walker is the only candidate with a record to prove that he fulfills both of those requirements.
Do you expect us to believe that the NYT cares about anyone from Iowa or Wisconsin?
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
You forgot “Conservative Firebrand”
Isn’t it odd that they never describe Bill Ayers as a “Communist Radical” but as a “peace activist”?
It’s so much nicer then “murdering thug leftist terrorist”
