I like Scott Walker- but I don’t think he fits into the mold of a Donald Trump coalition. He has the perception of being a union buster which may drive off the blue collar democrats he is trying to woo. Moreover, he has somewhat of a reputation for not being the sharpest and could get the Dan Quayle treatment in some respect.

Good points. On the union busting, if Trump/Walker are strong on trade and construction projects like Keystone pipeline, that helps with some unions.

If Trump/Walker stick hard to the anti-Common Core education position, that will definitely antagonize the teachers unions, but I don’t think the GOP is going to get that vote anyway.

Can’t argue with the “Dan Quayle” potential for Walker.

Trump has his own anti-union record to worry about. I'm sure the Democrats will try and exploit that in Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania in the fall.
