      I like Walker a lot and he was very well suited to Wisconsin. But his low-key demeanor just doesn't play in a lot of the country - not just the Northeast but the South & Southwest, too.https://twitter.com/Mario_A_Loyola/status/1379862674910105603 …

      Well @ScottWalker is a fantastic communicator, he's just #WisconsinNice, which is not the fashion on the East Coast obv https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1379857607813386251 …

      I thought Walker would do better as a national candidate than Tim Pawlenty did, because he is tougher, had built up more national goodwill. But he just wasn't technicolor enough to stand out on a crowded stage.

          I'd take Pawlenty over Walker in a fist fight FWIW.

          I'd take the counter bet. I've met both men. Pawlenty would last 30 seconds.

          We need to pick GOP candidates with a bracket system, not a primary

          Primaries are fine. Letting a hostile press drive narratives and run debates is not.

          Walker’s MO was to let his opponents punch themselves out. He did not construct a 2016 campaign enabling him to do this

          He also opened Wisconsin’s pockets for Foxconn, which was a disaster and not consistent with where MAGA is headed in regards to corporate tax incentives.

          Bailed out pretty quickly, demonstrating that he didn't have the belly for the job. Best to find that out sooner rather than later.

          He bailed early on WI-GOV in 2006, was rewarded with a win 4 years later. So that was a lesson from experience.
