Love him as well and voted for him. But all he needed to do was say:

“I’ve been in politics all my life. But with a difference. For the last 15 years I’ve been an executive versus a legislator. I’ve run things, managed people and been directly responsible for a budget. I don’t sit in a deliberative body and make speeches all day.

And in all of those stops, I’ve reformed government and sent money back to the taxpayers. That’s what I plan to do as President. “

Walker campaign needs to hire me rather than these high priced GOPe people advising him.

I agree completely. But the reason answers like this are not on the tip of his tongue (in my opinion) is that he really is in a kind of identity crisis. Is he GOPe? Or is he a patriot? I honestly don't think Walker knew there was a difference before he entered this election, but even if he did, I don't think he ever thought that was a decision that HE would have to make. That's why I think he really needs to take some time off to sort himself out before he says another word publicly.

This is similar to the time he threw the reformed sex offender under the bus at the factory where he worked. Gov. Walker was touting the hiring of workers all over the state and was a guest at a factory. Several employees stood behind him as he spoke about the opportunities they found at the factory. A day or so after the event, a journalist told Walker that one of the employees was a registered sex offender. Walker said if he had known that, he wouldn’t have had him in the crowd with him. How easy would it have been for Walker to praise the guy for turning his life around and choosing to become a productive citizen, rather than continuing to make bad choices in life?

I think he was his own man, and a damn great one.....UNTIL he decided he wanted to be the next Reagan and came to the conclusion he needed to sign up with some big donors to get the funding to do so.

And some of those big funders are free market guys who want cheap immigrant labor in the US.

This is the problem. He’s now a pawn of the “free market GOPe”

And frankly since Wisconsin doesn’t have a major immigration problem just yet (it’s developing) he doesn’t have the national perspective to see what a major threat it is in other states.

True, and this, in part, is the reason behind the identity crisis. Again, I think he needs to hunker down, regroup, and don’t say a word until he knows who he stands with. He is damaging himself every time he opens his mouth. If he even wants to continue his career in Wisconsin, he will figure this out and quick. I have voted for Scott several times, and I’m pretty happy with what he’s accomplished in Wisconsin. I don’t want him to swallow the GOPe cyanide tab. Right now, he’s nibbling around the edges.

I’m willing to give Carson (who spent his entire adult life doing amazing things to enrich the lives of people) and even iCarly (who had a big-time business to run, even if she did it crappy), but one would think that AFTER 25 YEARS in politics Walker could figure out where he stands on immigration and open borders (and probably a lot of other issues).

But he cannot...and he CLEARLY seems “owned” by his handlers.

He is PATHETIC at the national level. He needs to go home, read the national and international sections of the newspaper (for once) and start TRYING to understand these issues. After all, he’s had a 25 year head start on Trump, who is MILES ahead of him, already.

“He has no other career besides dropout.”

True, probably too late for him to learning plumbing, which is one of the few ways that a college dropout can make a living, other than in politics.
