... but more importantly he lifted the economy of his state out of bankruptcy.

How did he accomplish that? What was his approach?

Honest question. I'm not well-read on Walker.

Pit Walker against someone like Hillary Clinton ...

Hillary Clinton has been, is, and barring a miracle (they happen), will always be loathed by a large majority of the American people. How the MSM portrays her is one thing. What people really think of her is another. Hillary Clinton could only win two ways. One, if 2016 is a two-horse race between Democrat and Republican, would be if American voters let the Republican lose. Like it did in 2012.

The only other way Hillary could win would be via a plurality split like her husband, with a clear majority rejecting her twice at the ballot box, if she has a second term, but even the MSM would meet its limit attempting to prop Hillary.

However, it would require a charismatic third-party candidate. Perot got enough folks fired up to vote "against" The Man, so to speak. A whole lot of Americans want to vote to cut back the power and scope of government, and both Republican and Democrats want to keep expanding government. American voters, at the ones who vote because they care, recognize it.

If a charismatic person can swing a little more than a third, that candidate could even win, but on the same plurality. At least neither liberal, Hillary or the Republican Democrat ala Romney, gets in without it looking pretty ugly, so I pray for a charismatic populist Christian conservative third-party candidate.
