Walker’s ability to appeal to both the establishment and the activist wings of the party had looked like a strength, but now it seems a precarious balancing act, made all the more difficult by a panicky reaction to Trump. No sooner had Walker pronounced himself “aggressively normal” in the debate than he seemed to opt for just “aggressive” in an attempt to play to the passions tapped by Trump. Who could have predicted that the Midwestern candidate who tells stories about buying shirts for $1 at Kohl’s would have to play populist catch-up with the New York billionaire who travels by eponymous helicopter?

Doesn't describe the reality I see. Walker just sank like a brick.

I like Scott Walker, but he’s another milquetoast midwester governor who’s not prepared to take on the national mediots.

I appreciate what he’s done in Wisconsin, but he’s just not personality strong enough for the big time. Like Trump, you have to be larger than life to gather attention. Hillary for all her criminality is also larger than life, Obola too. This characteristic isn’t Scott Walker or many of the others. This bravado comes naturally to Trump. In the others is would seem contrived.

Walker still hasn’t made up his mind if he’s with the cititzens and the rule of law or the illegal aliens and their employers. His waffling on illegal aliens is what sank him.
