Tax cuts?? Presidential campaign?? Scott Walker needs to take a reality pill, put aside personal ambition, and focus on what's best for Wisconsin

Two weeks before the election.

PolitiFact (R) Wisconsin rates this claim as "false".

Two weeks after the election.

State faces $2.2 billion deficit heading into 2015-17 budget cycle. (Wisconsin State Journal, 11/21/2014)

This red column is not what's best for Wisconsin.





Never one to be deterred, Walker had already arrogantly pushed ahead.

Walker says he's seriously weighing Presidential bid.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 11/18/2014)

Well, here's the thing, folks.

In early 2011, Scott Walker earned himself a high national profile after "dropping the bomb" at the beginning of his first divisive term as Governor.  Yet in late 2014, in  poll after poll of Republican Presidential primary preferences, he still struggles to gain the upper hand against Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal.

Real Clear Politics 

A quixotic campaign for the Presidency is not what's best for Wisconsin.
