Walker has only created about half of the 250,000 jobs he pledged. The WEDC he created is a dismal failure and now there is an ethics investigation over it which centers on Walker.
Basically Walker is a regional candidate and it usually does not translate well into a national candidate. I don’t see him going anywhere from here but fade.
You may be right about Walker. He has done some good things in that region but does that mean he is the right candidate for President?
What is WEDC? I am always suspicious of politically timed ethics investigations. Maybe. But maybe it is just a political ploy. As for creating jobs, if he pledged something that is one thing. He should be held accountable, though appropriate time should be given to assess success. Generally, I am not a believer in the theory that government creates jobs. Government needs to stop meddling and then people could create jobs.
Walker reminds me of Perry in some ways. Both have been very successful as Governors in their separate regions of the country, but that success didn't (and won't) parlay over into national success for them.
I watched people here get all excited about Perry in 2012, but being from Texas, I knew he was mostly hot air. He only looked good from afar. Up close, his warts were a real deal breaker for me and a lot of other conservatives.
I'm beginning to see Walker the same way. The more I learn about him, the less I like the guy.
FYI: At every turn the Dems in WIS blocked job creation for just that reason - to use it against him later on. WIS unemployment rate abt 4.8%.
Walker’s big job creation item was an iron smelter mine in Upper WIS where there are virtually no jobs, other than seasonal tourism. Dems did everything, used every lie to stop the mine from even having an environmental impact statement.
There is no candidate/politician the Dems have hated more than Walker in recent years.
Total nonsense...He will be the Pubbie candidate....most qualified, least unqualified.....
