Another prostituting hack...
Associated Press THOMAS BEAUMONT and SCOTT BAUER,Associated Press 1
JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) Not long ago, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was the voice of a conservative revolution in the heartland, a Republican at the vanguard and a possible future president. Today, he's the voice of concern, warning his party at home and nationally that change is coming again.
SNIP
A recent local election should be a "wake-up call" to the changes afoot in the rural and exurban pockets that 17 months ago voted enthusiastically for President Donald Trump, he recently told a group of GOP donors and activists.
Walker is acting on his own advice. As he seeks a third term in office, he's embraced a bipartisan tone and a strikingly moderate set of policy proposals. The man who eight years ago set out to dismantle public employee unions is now backing efforts that mirror aspects of former President Barack Obama's health care law and describing his policy differences with Democrats as modest.

OP
Why is Walker even running again? Given the revolving door at the White House, he'd be a shoe-in.

Now Im going to pretend that Im not really the rabid reactionary that all of my policies show me to be. Right. Im sure that will persuade a lot of people.

I hope Wisconsin dumps him big time. Why isn't he term limited like most states?

Weasels are noble beasts compared to pond-scum like Walker (who needs two Facebook pages--one for each face.)

One is a scum-eating, mud-flinging bottom-dweller......and the other one is a fish.

He's got the perfect qualifications: lying, cheating, grifting weasel who couldn't name the Supreme Court justices for a million dollar prize.
