Although he did express support for healthcare for veterans, which is fortunate because he practically declared war on Russia and China, so they&#8217;re gonna need it.<\/p>\n<p>Walker spoke at length about his record in Wisconsin but, not surprisingly, left out his <a href=\"http:\/\/thinkprogress.org\/election\/2015\/07\/13\/3614885\/scott-walker-wants-run-country-ran-wisconsin\/\" target=\"_blank\">numerous failures<\/a> that place Wisconsin near the bottom on job creation, education, economic growth, etc. But perhaps the most intriguing pronouncement he made was his promise that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The good news &#8211; it&#8217;s not too late, we can turn things around.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s a relief. Because if America had to proceed any further in the positive direction it has been going for the last six years, who knows how long we would endure.

He was famously fooled by a blogger who called him pretending to be David Koch (YouTube audio below). They spoke for about ten minutes with Walker pandering shamelessly to who he thought was the billionaire who has been a reliable donor to his Wisconsin campaigns. At one point <em>&#8220;David&#8221;<\/em> suggested that Walker should plant troublemakers among the protesters who were packing the capital office. Walker answered saying <em>&#8220;we thought about that.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Of course, it would have been illegal for Walker to dispatch provocateurs to disrupt people who were exercising their free speech rights, but Walker is no stranger to unlawful activities.
