He discovered he didn't have the Badger State bubble of media protection once he left Wisconsin and started giving speeches around the country. How will Mark Belling, Charlie Sykes, the Bradley Foundation, and the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel coddle him now? Sure they will find a way to spin this.
Even though Walker had aspirations to be like his beloved Ronnie, he wilted on the national stage. Unions, unions was all he knew. He stood up to the teacher unions, he said, just like Ronnie stood up to the air controllers. To no avail. And no one really cared. And although he requested and got to hold and touch Ronnie Reagan's Inaugural Bible, he still didn't have what it takes to be the anointed successor to the Dutch.
Pray for Wisconsin. Will he return to Madison, fester, and create more chaos there? Or will he be chastened, humiliated in front of millions, and behave?
Stay tuned. For now it is enough to be able to sing it high and sing it low, the Wicked Witch Walker is dead!
