In an odd state of affairs, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has been asked to speak at the 2016 Republican National Convention. And Governor Walker has stated he will speak against Hillary Clinton to unite the party! Wha?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Monday that he won’t run for president again as a sitting governor and that he intends to use his prime-time speech at the Republican National Convention this week to argue that “America deserves better” than Hillary Clinton.
“The fears and concerns that people have about Hillary Clinton, I think, are going to be the most compelling things that unite Republicans,” Walker told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from Cleveland, where he is attending the convention.
So essentially he has given up on uniting the GOP behind their candidate, Donald Trump, and instead will unite them in their opposition to Hillary Clinton! A sure way to win the hearts and minds of Americans and win the White House for the Republicans.
Isn’t that rich?
Fears and concerns that people have about “others” of all stripes has united Republicans for the past four decades. So what else is new?
Guvvie Unintimidated would do well to focus Wisconsin, and maybe turn over a new leaf by listening to all citizens of our state – and governing accordingly – instead of looking for limelight on the National Stage. His fifteen whatever units of fame have long passed.
