Other problems with Walker include his support for amnesty, his failure to meet job creation campaign promises, and his close allignment with the GOPe (Priebus, Ryan, Romney, Rove). Also, he utterly failed to support Ted Cruz in fighting Obamacare and defending the Constitution.

Tens of thousands of Walker voters voted to reelect Obama in 2012. These same voters will surely deliver Wisconsin to Hillary or Warren if Walker is the 2016 nominee.

Walker is a Governor, not a Senator, newbie.

Walker supports amnesty?

Hmmm, uh oh. I did not know this.

If true, disregard previous, Walker-supportive post.

his failure to meet job creation campaign promises [ . . . ]Also, he utterly failed to support Ted Cruz in fighting Obamacare and defending the Constitution.

1. It is kind of hard to meet the job creation campaign promise when half of the state senate flees for Illinois. Admittedly, he didn't anticipate that. Also, he had a good bill for iron mining in Iron county (Wisconsin's history is steeped in mining, which is why they are the "badger" state), and squishy Republican named Schulz went the wrong way on it. The businesses that were supposed to provide the jobs had to see how the court battles and the recall elections would go before committing their capital. And of course, Obama has some affect on job creation as well. Would it have been better if he promised 100,000 new jobs and met the goal?

2. Walker's plate is quite full. Instead of saying that a governor should be getting heavily involved in national votes, maybe you should lean on the numerous GOP senators that were blasting Sen. Cruz. Cruz has his way, Walker has his. Both do what they set out to do. Both are conservative (Cruz more so). Both are good men. It is kind of funny that the ace Harvard grad is the fiery populist, and the Marquette dropout is the low-key, temperate steady actor.

-—his failure to meet job creation campaign promises-—

Screw you. Did you know we still have a Marxist president that is kicking the economy in the balls?

This site is really becoming a sour, circular firing squad.

Walker’s job creation has been gaining steam and Wisconsin voters accepted the positive direction. He is not a vocal supporter of amnesty, I think he is still persuadable to emphasize border security.

For me, the two biggest problems is his attempting to walk the line on illegal immigration/amnesty based on who he’s talking/appealing to, and him doing absolutely nothing hard ever since his recall win. There are plenty of hard things that need to be done in Wisconsin and he’s lost the fight because once he won the recall, his campaign for president began. That’s why he has avoided hard stuff ever since then and is upset that the now Republican-controlled assembly and senate want to do the hard work on some issues.

What was the starting point at which Walker was able to cut taxes?

I think could say the same about Jeb’s tenure.
