“In the Republican field, there are some who are good fighters. They haven’t won those battles. There are others who have won elections but haven’t consistently taken on the big fights,” the golden boy of the right says, straight to the camera. “I’ve done both.” 

Sound like a suitable ad for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ eventual presidential campaign debut? Play Video A decade later, former Gov. Scott Walker said he views Act 10 as one of the best things he's done for the state. 

Those were actually words from former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s 2015 announcement video. It may seem like a lifetime ago, but there was a time when Walker was the “fighter” Republicans craved. He won the governorship three times in four years, thanks to a vicious effort to recall him after he successfully orchestrated a huge victory against public sector unions in his state.

Actually, this speculation has been going on for nearly a year now.
