I want to see how Walker’s world view develops if he seriously gets in this thing.

"Develops"? That's sort of like 'evolving', isn't it?

I'd rather not see a candidate shift or modify any of their positions during a run for office. I want to know what positions they've held for an extended period of time, as that's the real measure of the person.

Politicians are famous for tailoring their statements and positions for the express purpose of getting elected. I'm not the least bit interested in any of their campaign rhetoric.

“Politicians are famous for tailoring their statements
and positions for the express purpose of getting elected.”

That is the reality regardless of what interests you and me.
In a national election or within a state with a politically
mixed electorate you don’t get enough brownie points for
standing solidly on all of your core principles.
