"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."
But what about all of the republican governors who also had republican legislatures?
What did Jeb accomplish in Florida as governor? Did he save teacher’s jobs while saving the state $billions? Did he give teachers more pay by letting them keep rheir own money instead of forced to pay Union dues? Walker also cut taxes, increased employment across the state and has created a budget surplus. Has any other potential candidate accomplished anything noteworthy besides getting elected to office? Walker won more elections than the rest of them too.
Nobody can can even come close to Walker’s resume. It’s about time we had a strong president who has experience, has real accomplishments, and has basic leadership skills. These are all things that Obama lacks.
