I do believe that Trumka is whistling in the grave yard. When Walker ran as governor of Wisconsin, these same people were laughing up their sleeves, thinking that Walker didn’t have a chance. Then when he got elected, they tried their very best to kick him out of office 2 times, and failing both times.

Oh, and the Left will always tell you who they fear.

His slash-and-burn policies have gutted Wisconsin workers' collective bargaining rights, defunded Planned Parenthood and more – all of which has made him a prime punching bag for progressives around the country.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Pretty much states what the Progressive agenda is and makes me think Walker's a better candidate than anything the "Progressives" might regurgitate.

From “Rolling Stone?” Aren’t they the ones who wrote about a rape that never happened?

"Scott Walker is a national disgrace"

This is 'one of the best press releases in political history'? And it DESTROYS Scott Walker?

Wow, this Rolling Stone writer seems to have a low excitement threshold. Looks like a pedestrian, unsubstantiated nothing burger to me...

And a few budgets. I wonder how much Walker has cost the unions?

I’d take that as a huge endorsement. Trumka...the epitome of the word ‘union thug.’

I don't think it's the Democratic base we have to worry about. They're going to vote the way they always vote. An increased turnout by labor is going to be offset by decreases in the Black vote.

It's the low information voters you have to worry about. The people who only know one thing about Scott Walker, and that's that he's "against the working man." You'll hear a lot of that from now to next year with "the working man" understood as "the little guy."

Act 10 passed
Public unions decimated in WI
Dues collection in WI off massively here
Right to Work
Prevailing Wage Repeal
UW tenure completely revamped.

3 losses after dumping all kinds of cash into 3 Walker elections.

Yeah Walker is really feeling the burn...

Not only in what they’ve wasted in trying to beat him in elections, but in what they’ve lost in decreased revenue due to lower health-care premiums to their WEAC wholly-owned-health-insurance-company scam, about $10000 per teacher per year.

Typical headline from click-bait leftist rags.

Tell the reader how they should react to something in the headline.

I agree. I think our 3 best nominees would be

Cruz (cause he would really rev-up the base)

Trump (for the same reasons, plus he’d pull in a lot of in-the closet Reagan Democrats)

Walker (for the reasons you have outlined)

I think the 3 worst would be

Bush (cause he’d demoralize our base as bad or worse than Walker would demoralize theirs)

Graham (same reason)

Fiorina (as a former CEO she is a sitting duck to be absolutely destroyed in the same manner as Romney....think “everybody HP ever laid-off when she was in charge turning up in a Democrat ad”).
