Scott Walker tarnished forever hahahahhahhahahahahha
Walker, Christie and Jindal were supposed to show off GOP's deep bench. They highlighted incompetence instead
In Wisconsin, Walker, facing a two-year deficit that could go
as high as $2 billion, has responded with
$300 million in cuts for higher education, on top of billions in previous education cuts. Still, job creation was supposed to be Walker’s big thing—he promised to create 250,000 jobs in four years when he first ran in 2010, but
came up short by more than 100,000 jobs. Making matters worse are the neighborhood comparisons.
Wisconsin ranked between 29th
and 41st in job growth over the last four years, the worst in the Midwest three of those years, and second worst the other. In fact, the state
performed poorly on a whole host of indicators used by Bloomberg News, and
suffers markedly in contrast with neighboring Minnesota, where progressive policies have that state’s economy recovering nicely.
Perhaps the pundits are still dazzled by these guys, but folks at home, not so much. Neither
Christie nor
Walker has any traction in beating Hillary Clinton in head-to-head home state matchups, probably the only kind of polls this early with any potential long-term 2016 value, since they involve figures well-known to the public being polled. Then again, Walker’s job approval fell to 41 percent
in the latest Marquette Law poll (56 percent disapprove), which has plenty of other bad news for him as well.
