It will be nice having a President Walker working with the Conservative Band of Brothers and Sisters in Congress.

I believe he will make a fine president.

Oops - dropped this part of the article in error...

"None of this is to suggest that the Legislature has been in the driver’s seat for Walker’s whole governorship; the Act 10 legislation, which Walker signed in 2011 and which kicked off the massive protests that made him a hero to national conservatives, was his baby. But without having a statehouse full of allies, it would have been impossible for Walker to distinguish himself from the growing field of potential 2016 contenders."

I’ve been curious about how he financed his education because his bio reads that he worked part time while in school.

I too think he would make a fine President. He has what it takes and he gets things done.

I do hope he has better leaders in Congress to work with than Boehner and McConnell though. They are, uh, feckless to say the least.

It all depends on his positions vis-a-vis amnesty and the flip-flops he’ll make to position himself as a presidential candidate. Clearly, among the current prospects, he’s better than Bush, Rubio, Perry, Christie, and most of the others. He’s got more experience than Cruz. Cruz is clearer on amnesty, maybe. I’ll wait and see...

Surprise, when he does another PRO-AMNESTY Deal for UNIONS to collect dues from all those "NEW" Workers, who'll work for less wages than the current workers.

I quote Scott Walker and his PRO-AMNESTY position:

Endorses path to citizenship for immigrant workers

Scott Walker distanced himself from House Republicans debating a new immigration bill by endorsing a path to citizenship for immigrant workers.Walker acknowledged that a substantial number of Wisconsin farms depend on migrant workers, some of them here illegally.
He also was sharply critical of how difficult the federal government makes it for those workers to come to this country.
"If people want to come here and work hard and benefit, I don't care whether they come from Mexico or Ireland or Germany or Canada or South Africa or anywhere else," he said.
"I want them here."
The Democratic-led U.S. Senate passed an immigration bill last week that features a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S.
Many conservative House Republicans oppose the bill, viewing it as rewarding law-breakers.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants.

Make it easier to enter the country legally

Walker said he is in favor of the Senate immigration bill--that features a path to citizenship--but called it a backward "Band-Aid" approach,
saying elected leaders should make it easier for people to enter the country and become legal citizens in the first place.
"Not only do they need to fix things for people already here, or find some way to do it, there's got to be a larger way to fix the system in the first place," he said.
"Because if it wasn't so cumbersome, if there wasn't such a long wait, if it wasn't so difficult to get in, we wouldn't have the other problems that we have (with people living here illegally)," he said.
Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.

2010: stop suspected illegals; 2012: that's a distraction

Walker's stance on immigration reform evolved over the years.
He said as a gubernatorial candidate in 2010 that he would sign an Arizona-style bill, which would allow local police to stop suspected illegal immigrants, if he were elected.
Then, in December 2012, Walker said he no longer favored such a bill, telling reporters that such legislation would become a "huge distraction" from accomplishing his agenda for the state.
Today, Walker said he would support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants under some circumstances.

Republican governors in blue states are typically hamstrung by their legislatures. Walker’s Legislature, to his great fortune, has propelled him. He has become the public face of a state government that is predominantly and combatively conservative.

PA recently had a pubbie gov with a pubbie senate and house, and you know what they did? Not a damned thing and we now have a communist gov with a pubbie senate and house and they will raise taxes, pass common core, put more freeloaders on welfare, give out more free phones, I could go on but you know the rest of the story.

You have to give Walker credit, yes he has a pubbie house and senate, but he also has a set of brass balls.

[ConservativeDude]

“Walker’s success is an important reminder that hundreds of tiny, inexpensive state legislative elections that get zero national media attention can be the difference between being a nobody governor with a rinky-dink profile and being within spitting distance of your party’s presidential nomination.”

[afraidfortherepublic]

Scott Walker’s secret weapon is that he’s totally honest and does what he promises.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

It will be nice having a President Walker working with the Conservative Band of Brothers and Sisters in Congress.

The GOPe brothers and sisters will keep him from being able to accomplish much.
