Courtesy of NPR: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — best known for his high-profile fight with his state's unions and for surviving a 2012 recall vote — steps into a competition for the GOP presidential nomination so crowded with contenders that he will be forced to fight for attention just to get his message out.
"I'm in. I'm running for president because Americans deserve a leader who will fight and win for them," Walker tweeted Monday morning. He is expected to make a formal announcement later in Wisconsin.
So this is the guy that many of the establishment Republicans have been drooling over. The guy that is going to bring a message that will unify the party behind him, and move him to the front of the pack past favored front runner Jeb Bush, and crazed attention seeker Donald Trump.
Here is a little of that message now.
Uh, is anybody else as underwhelmed as I am?
To sum up, he likes to fight, he likes to win, and he likes to brag about things that are patently untrue. (Such as improving education and creating jobs.)
So THIS is the great Koch hope for 2016?
