Then, you are either uninformed or an intentional LIAR.

..he’s a clueless twit.

The mob that assembled at the Wisconsin State Capital for months, went home with their tails between their legs (and then they held a recall and had to sulk off again), they would tell you different. All the while the Milwaukee DA has held a 4 year witch hunt on Walker and his conservative supporters and it has finally been tossed.

Clueless? Lord you need to look at Wisconsin before Walker and now. What is it that pissed you off? Banning abortion after 20 weeks? Cutting planned parenthood 4 years ago? Busting unions? Cutting unemployment in half? Oh I know....he doesn’t give good speeches like the Obama clone who is running. Oh poor you.

Education experts say that Walker’s current position of allowing school districts to opt-out of Common Core would not do away with the nationalized standards. Because school districts will be judged by a statewide test developed using Common Core standards, they for all intents and purposes are under Common Core guidelines and Wisconsin remains under Common Core but by a different name........ (Breitbart)

Walker has refused to take a definitive position on the NSA’s mass data collection program in the past.

(Politico)

Over the course of his two terms, state spending has increased under Walker. Total expenditures have risen from $40.1 billion in 2010 to $44.9 billion in 2014. This represents a 12 percent increase overall, outpacing both population growth (.94 percent) and inflation (8 percent). ......(Ballotpedia, Ballotpedia)(Census.gov)(BLS.gov)

Isolating the portion of the state budget Walker has the most control over, a similar picture emerges. Spending supported by General Purpose Revenue rose from $12.8 billion in 2010 to $14.6 billion in 2014. This represents a 14 percent increase overall. ......(Ballotpedia, Ballotpedia)

Sounds more like a self-assessment than an educated opinion.
