Does he occupy some philosophical space the others do not?

I agree one could demonstrate proven competence by Walker but many of the others have that too.

I don’t understand you deep seated hatred for our most accomplished candidate with regards to accomplishments during the last four years. The haters are so strange this primary season so far.

I think he does, actually. This is a man who has won election and re-election - (both locally and state-wide) running on conservative principles in one of the bluest counties in a blue-purple state. There aren't enough conservatives in WI to make that happen.

In other words....the same kind of Democrats that turned out to vote for Reagan vote for Walker, and for the same reasons.

He's not Reagan, no, but he cut his political teeth in the era of Reagan, and he learned much from that great man about going over the heads of the snarling beasts in the media and the opposition and taking a strong vision directly to the people.
