Scott Walker has spent a lifetime preparing for this presidential campaign ...

and that's the "good news" ?


Conservatives are fine, and Walker's decent ...

but it kinda sounds like he's a Wisconsin version of "ambition at any cost" Hillary Clinton ...

The 2011 Wisconsin protests were a series of demonstrations in the state of Wisconsin in the United States beginning in February involving at its zenith as many as 100,000 protesters opposing the 2011 Wisconsin Act 10, also called the "Wisconsin Budget Repair bill." Subsequently, anti-tax activists and other conservatives, including Tea Party advocates, launched small pockets of counter protests.

The protests centered on the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison, with satellite protests also occurring at other municipalities throughout the state. Demonstrations took place at various college campuses, including the University of Wisconsin–Madison[11] and the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee. After the collective bargaining bill was upheld by the Wisconsin Supreme Court on June 14, the number of protesters declined to about 1,000 within a couple days.

The protests were a major driving force for recall elections of state senators in 2011 and 2012, the failed recall of Governor Scott Walker in 2012 and a contentious Wisconsin Supreme Court election in 2011........"

It's a hit piece. What do you expect it to sound like?

Those of us who are exposed to the Wisconsin media read articles like this on a daily basis. The media has a hit piece every day. When they think they have something juicy, they run variations on the theme for weeks.

The media is left wing and they HATE Scott Walker. They lie, cheat and steal to try to make him look bad.

Every time I read one of these pieces I smile and think "Walker must be doing something right to get these attacks."
