The biggest issue may have been that a strong majority in Wisconsin opposed the recall on procedural grounds. Walker did not campaign on all aspects of Act 10, so it wasn't simply the case that he was enacting policies he had campaigned on. While this motivated some swing voters, a larger chunk of independents disagreed with the recall procedure and preferred that he receive a full term. The recall election and last fall's election both had high turnout numbers for a gubernatorial election, which in some ways buoys Walker's claim to be able to garner broad support from an electorate. On the other hand, I'm not sure he would have been elected if he had to be on the ballot during a presidential election year. He's certainly not unique among Republican governors in that respect.

He recently refused to answer whether he believes in evolution or not. That alone makes him a pandering loving idiot.

The turdlicking texas shitlord he brought in as "deer czar" calls public conservation lands "the last bastion of communism" and wants to sell them all so it's not much of a stretch to call him out as an opponent of WI hunting traditions. He just has to put blaze orange on to get R votes it's yet another dumb thing about Wisconsin.

spooky girlfriend posted:My fave Scott Walker moment is when someone prank-called him pretending to be the Koch brothers and recorded Walker being the stereotypically evil goober that he is. Please tell me there's audio of this.

RonMexicosPitbull posted:Yea I dont mean to be harsh but getting a large super liberal city to cough up a few hundred protesters against a R governer is literally nothing and they were nuts to think the recall had any chance. Reporting helped to make it seem bigger as most reporters are liberal and they have an interest in every thing they cover being a "big deal" so I thought it was a big deal at first. Then I took a sidelong stare at the poll numbers and laughed. It was a giant waste of time and political grandstanding where the dems came off way worse then where they started because of the recall and actually fleeing the state like idiots. the recall would have succeeded if they had timed it for the november elections and had a better candidate than tom barrett.

"working within the process" shut the gently caress up lol They were basically doing it in support of when Abraham Lincoln did it. No one actually expected anything to come out of it, and those that did were dumb as hell. (The Republicans crying about it)

Really I'm just saying we do it to waste his loving time and resources, since he'll be trying to stage a national campaign as well, and I can only imagine it would be a pain in his rear end.
