Scott Walker, “The 47-year-old Republican often points to the fact that he’s been on the ballot just about every two years since 1990 — including three victorious races for governor — as proof that he’s battle-tested and prepared to grind out yet another long campaign,” notes Politico.
The Times attempted to portray Walker as so dumb he requires constant instruction by people who are, unlike him, really smart. “[A] series of early gaffes alarmed party leaders and donors and led Mr. Walker to begin several months of policy tutorials,” Times reporter Patrick Healy wrote.

In what’s easily the highest-volume straw poll in America when it comes to the 2016 GOP presidential primaries with 55,000 respondents, Sen.

Dayspring was undoubtedly effective at crushing conservative primary challengers to longtime Republican senators and helping Republicans take over the U.S. Senate.

Walker, a likely 2016 contender, has recently affirmed what has been true of Wisconsin school districts all along – that they can choose their own standards. To his credit, he has also proposed defunding the Smarter Balanced test, a product of one of the federally funded, interstate Common Core test consortia. Grassroots parents groups, however, say Walker’s proposed new state exam – called the “Badger Exam,” is also aligned with the Common Core standards.

The 63-year old former Congressman and former Fox News contributor is clearly popular with the voters in his home state, where he won re-election to a second term handily in November, defeating his Democratic opponent by a 64 percent to 33 percent margin.

One challenge several candidates will face as they try to maintain their positions or move up in the polls is favorability ratings.
