Scott Walker, a failure as a presidential candidate and a failure as a governor, is dramatically out of his league. Unfortunately, he still has the power to make things worse for Wisconsin — and he will exercise that power, to the dramatic detriment of the state, unless his fellow Republicans begin to steer a more independent course....

...But a basic instinct toward self-preservation would cause a competent politician to adjust his approach in the face of failures as overwhelming as those with which Walker is now associated. In other words, if Walker knew what he was doing, he would at least try to get a few things right.

The problem, of course, is that Walker does not know what he is doing. Every indication is that the governor really is as ignorant and inept as he seemed during his embarrassing pursuit of the presidency...

Getting things right is not hard.

Scott Walker just makes it look hard.
