Why does Walker pronounce "time" as "toyme"?

Heard it a few time in the debate and wondered if that's some sort of unfortunate Colorado/Iowa/Wisconsin accent or just something he does. I've never heard that in Wisconsin before. New York or New Jersey, maybe but not here.

He does lots of weird shit that shows him to be an outsider.

When he says "toyme" it reminds me of Brooklyn born actress Rosie Perez, especially when she was younger.

How Walker picked up a first generation Puerto Rican Brooklyn woman's partial accent we may never know.
