Про Walker'а

Прочитал вчера статью -- "What happened to Scott Walker?"

Мне вот этот фрагмент понравился.

Want an outsider? Walker has never worked in Washington. Before winning the gubernatorial election in 2010, Walker was the Milwaukee County executive for more than eight years, and served nine years in the state legislature before that. His Senate rivals may have to dance around their brief time in Washington, and Bobby Jindal's House career might be a slight negative in an anti-establishment era, but Walker has no such baggage.

Want a fighter? Walker fought and beat the public-employee unions in Wisconsin, and then fought and beat them again in a recall election and a second gubernatorial bid. That's three election victories in four years. He drew heat from around the country on that fight and never backed down, and then added wins on other conservative agenda items such as Right to Work and voter ID laws.

Want a departure from the elite to the hoi polloi? Walker is custom made for the role. He shops at Kohl's, had never earned six figures until becoming governor, and has amassed little wealth in 48 years. He is the antithesis of Mitt Romney — a man of modest means and modest background who went into politics to serve rather than enrich himself.

In short, Walker checked all the boxes that Republicans wanted after a disappointing loss in 2012. And it turns out that none of that mattered as much to Republicans three years later as putting a thumb in the eye of the party's establishment. Voters are turning to outsiders in a reaction to a lack of action, real or perceived, from the Republican Party after winning two midterm elections.

Вот действительно, Walker, вроде, и то, и это, все что республиканцам нужно; а Трамп -- наоборот, ничего из того, что республиканцам нужно. Вроде бы. А получается вот так.

Может, конечно, все еще не раз изменится, и к Walker'у вернется удача. Пока смешно.
