He's leader of the Republican Party so, yes, he helped shepherd the whole deal. Why wasn't this going on during previous governorships? Why was Walker so vilified by the Unions? They came in from all over.
That means the legislature, more or less, were compliant to his positions.
And he's leader of the Republican Party.
No real way to argue around this.
I just did. He's the leader of the party, this did not happen in previous years. So what you see as a great asset is mainly talk and no action. Point taken.
