While I'm sure that we can all be thankful to Gov Walker for standing up to the government employee unions in Wisconsin, his insider status has made him utterly irrelevant in this election cycle.

And where was Walker’s admonitions of the “establishment” during the debate?

I guess, but I am surprised that his support has never materialized. He hit his high water mark the day he announced. Weird.

Could not agree more. Scotty is the GOPe default candidate for when Jebbie crashes and burns. Unfortunately for the establishment they are both crashing and burning. Trump has staked out all the relevant talking points and nobody is going to get the bullhorn away from him.

McConnnell Aide Joins Walker Team

Gov. Scott Walker's political group is building its policy team by hiring a top aide to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Our American Revivial has hired Andrew Bremberg to serve as its policy director, a spokeswoman for the group said Friday.

Bremberg, who had been serving as McConnell's policy advisor and counsel on nominations, will oversee the development of domestic and foreign policy for Walker's group as the Republican governor considers his likely 2016 president


Walker is so disgusted with McConnell he hires his staff.

The ability to write in English must not be a requirement for the Hill.

Walker is the only guy to stand up to left wing unions since Reagan was President. And yet we must hate Walker because he is running against Trump. Right?

Walker evidently does not understand that Obamacare cannot be repealed while Obama is in office for the following simple reason.

Given that Obama will veto any bill that dares to repeal Obamacare, probably neither House of Congress will have the constitutionally required 2/3 majority vote (1.7.2) needed to override such a vote.

And incumbent RINOs in both Houses were probably very much aware that they wouldn’t be able to repeal Obamacare, but nonetheless played on the ignorance of low-information patriots to win their votes and get themselves reelected by promising to repeal Obamacare.

“Where is vote to repeal ObamaCare?”

He just has to ask his handlers. They had the Republicans in Congress vote 50 times to defund it, but then made sure none of the votes meant anything.

Dayspring and others REALLY need to keep him better informed regarding the stunts the Republican Leadership does to try to fool their “Low-Information Voters” as they call us.

See, had he said all this two months ago he might be leading. But a leader leads and is in front on the issues.

Nobody hates Walker. He is just not the right person for the times we are in. He does not have a vision for America or the right answers to our problems. Walker is a regional candidate and he will have zero chance at winning a general election. He needs to stay in WI.

Nope, it is because he needs the establishment for money to run. They own him. Not really his fault, but he has cast his lot with the wrong bunch. He needs to stay Governor this go round.

And because Trump has tons of money you trust a guy who has admittedly bought politicians, supported single payer, lobbied for an assault weapon ban and wears the stupidest combover in American history?

I don’t hate Walker at all. I think he is at his level as governor, and he just never had “it”, that unexplained quality needed to rise to the next level.

He signed ultra-sound bills and lots of other pro-life legislation. Pretty harsh words for someone who has done a lot for the pro-life movement, more than anyone else except other governors.
