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?
