Gov. Scott Walker will speak at Republican National Convention

PLATTEVILLE (WKOW) -- Governor Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) is bucking a trend among elected Republican officials nationwide in agreeing to speak at the GOP national convention later this month, saying a vote for anyone other than presumptive party presidential nominee Donald Trump is a "de facto vote" for Hillary Clinton.

"I think there is a clear contrast," said Gov. Walker. "For those who raise concerns like I just did about the judgement of Hillary Clinton in terms of not just those emails, but some of the other issues out there, really there's only one alternative."

Gov. Walker confirmed he will speak at the RNC to 27 News Tuesday morning.

1. Every GOP member that endorses or aids Trump should have their careers ruined.

Every time they open their mouths, the response should be, "but you supported Trump. Why should anyone take anything you say seriously?"

...or never did in the first place would agree to speaking at their convention this time. Yikes. I'm not sure sucker is even the right word for Walker...there are many more appropriate ones for him.

Never has been, never will be. He doesn't even have a college degree and he wanted to be president? A deep thinker he is not.

Since he and his gangsters control Wisconsin he can swing that state to the con man in the general and get Johnson re-elected in the senate. And he has the voter suppression lined up to ensure the repukes keep that state.
