Sorry! If Walker wants a National role then that means that he is overly ambitious and not wanted by the people but he wants the people to want him.
I’m really sick and tired of politicians thinking that they are what is good for America. Either produce and tell me why or go away.
I really hate all the publicity that politicians get when doing the right thing (seems that it is usually by accident anyway). Hell, we elected them to do the right thing - why can’t they be normal people and just let it go at that. If they are worthy of higher office, we will let them know.
Yes, I like Walker and what he has done for Wisconsin, but really, what makes you think that he won’t change when elected in a different state.
I see politicians as weak reflections of ourselves and it is not pretty. We are all so convoluted that we actually think that government is good...geez.
What we know of Walker, is good; albeit, he was just doing his job. Let’s not request that he be considered for Sainthood just yet. Let’s observe the guy for the next four years and see if he is, in fact, a man of mettle. (Yes, I spelled “mettle” correctly.) He is just 44 years old. Let’s be “slow to speak and swift to hear” where the Governor is concerned. We’ve got time. And, there are other fine young men ready for the national spotlight, who have been more thoroughly vetted. Let’s all just chill. Haste makes waste.
“I really hate all the publicity that politicians get when doing the right thing”....
It is so out of context for this to happen, it become something WORTH celebrating.
“overly ambitious”
Is there a middle-of-the-road stance he could take that would make him just ambitious enough, without being overly so?
It seems to me there’s no winning here. Pols are either not ambitious enough to do the job - and then they’re called milk-toast because they don’t have the fire - or it’s said they’re in it for their own gain.
