"...Walker believes his stance against unions in Wisconsin would be a signal of toughness to Islamic jihadists and Russia’s Vladimir Putin"

From The Cap Times citing Larry Kudrow

It's good to know that the sacrifices made by the people of Wisconsin under Walker will help in Walker's battles against "Islamic jihadists and Russia’s Vladimir Putin". And I thought he was f'ing the state over just to build his store of 2016 campaign talking points and rake in the donations from the right wing billionaires.

conservative as they come even in places like Texas or Alabama and they vote in every election.

Urban residents, young people, and racial minorities are as liberal as they come in San Francisco but they only vote in presidential elections.

It's a balkanized state.
