Scott Walker, Again

We wrote five days ago about WI Governor Scott Walker. Someone endorsed him for the GOP 2016 presidential nomination with this metaphor: he sits on a throne made of the skulls of his enemies.

Walker's enemies are public employee and teacher unions. He defeated them and then won a referendum and a reelection to prove the state's voters back him for doing so.

The New York Post's John Podhoretz basically agrees with the earlier endorsement. He writes Walker isn't charismatic but understands the problem and has proven he can deal with it.

Imagine if we could ban public employee and teacher unions nationwide. That would be a good first step in improving the public schools and reducing the public retiree burden on the GDP.
