Scott Walker: Back in the Saddle, Back to His Old ALEC Tricks

[IDemo]

On the heels of Scott Walker abandoning his presidential bid, the Wisconsin governor is returning to the state and flipping through the old American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) playbook for ideas.

Walker comes back to Wisconsin with his approval at an all-time low. Following a sneak attack on the open records law, a plan to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on a stadium for an NBA team co-owned by Walker's campaign finance co-chair, and mounting allegations of lawbreaking and political kickbacks at Walker's job creation agency (the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation), even Walker's longtime GOP supporters began to disapprove of the governor.

With his return to Wisconsin, some called on Walker to build bridges and mend fences.

Yet rather than reach across the aisle or put his weight behind broadly popular measures, Walker is returning to an old divide-and-conquer strategy: rally the far-right base by scapegoating public workers and pushing ALEC policies.

1. Thanks, Wisconsin forsaking him off our hands again.

Now, all we can say is good luck to you, and we hope you learned something from all this.

3. Walker is an ALEC/Koch robot and nothing more.

He is such a huge sore loser that he recommended the other candidates withdraw from the race! If that is not amazing stupidity, then I don't know what is.

He is a robot.

4. Of course he has gone back to harass the people of WI. He

is still on the koch payroll.
