Scott Walker, really didn’t come across as a dynamic kind of guy until he declared that we should disband govt unions. He should have started the campaign on that note. Instead he was cautious, like the rest of the field, except Trump.

Trump is the man. I’d like to see Walker and the others in a Trump administration, then in 4 years or 8 years, they can take the baton.

Call it their apprenticeship..

"until he declared that we should disband govt unions."

YES. I kept saying that Walker played "smallball" because he didn't articulate a vision of how his state-level policies would reverse liberalism on a national scale. Just as Trump did amnesty, Walker should have gone on an anti-union jihad, but not as an "anti-worker" thing so much as a slush fund/money laundering operation for the Dem Party. But the other pitfall of that strategy is that it's easy to get tied up in the education debate.

Sorry, but I think education on the national stage is a loser. Even if you say you want to get rid of teachers' unions, you almost have to balance that with "requiring student testing" which gets into "no child left behind" crap. I think it's a no win.

It's also not what Walker said as in "misspeaking" as it was in doubling down, like Trump and Carson have done.
