“The only thing about Scott Walker is that he’s the best governor the state has ever had”

And the unemployment rate is 20%?

Hardly. During the height of the Obama recession I drove 180 miles a day because WI had jobs and IL didn't.

Wisconsin has a 4.6% unemployment rate, which is under the national average. Trump’s pulling numbers out of his a**.

Where, pray tell, from what source do you get your unemployment figures for Wisconsin? From the Democrat sewers?

The figures for 2016 are:

4.9 (Federal bogus published national figure)

4.6 (Federally published figure for Wisconsin)

The highest possible alternative national unemployment-rate measure that has any credibility is around 15-16 percent.

Trump has also mentioned 41 or 42% in various speeches, which I believe he got from a David Stockman test calculation. The number that much higher would require virtually everyone of an employable age to hold a full time job, no exceptions. He needs to clean up this level of ridiculousness to even have a chance.
