Walker has been aiming for the presidency ever since winning his recall, so especially given his slightly weird (but entirely American) religious feelings about being a sort of political anointed one, I think he definitely throws his hat into the ring after his win. Men ballsy enough to think they should be governor and surrounded by backslapping donors who are overreacting because they’re tired of years of conservatives being trodden underfoot in the humble Midwest definitely have a big enough head to think they can win the presidency. No George Washingtons in the crop of presidential hopefuls anymore, that’s for sure, despite our country’s great need for such men.
Since turning his eyes toward Washington, Walker has gone soft on many core issues. Here’s one: Marriage…
The man now famous for standing also stands down when it seems politically expedient to do so. Okay, well, marriage has few supporters, even in the GOP, so let’s pretend that’s not important. How about abortion? Yes, Walker got soft on abortion back when it looked like Burke had him pinned to the wall, talking up his support for a bill that “leaves the final decision to a woman and her doctor.” I wonder if he’d define “pro-life” as “no advocate for the baby need be in the room.” Explicitly, no.
