Walker concedes failure of 250,000 jobs pledge

You may remember Walker's repetitive and broken pledge to create 250,000 new private sector jobs in one, four year term.

The Journal Sentinel reported earlier this year that he'd created only 185,000 jobs net in his first six years.

So now with a re-election campaign under way that will be a referendum on his performance, Walker is throwing out new spin and misdirection to define his failure as success.

He's lauding on Twitter creating or retaining - - new category - - nearly - - new qualifier - - 30,000 jobs in 2017.

But he'd needed a job creating rate of 62,500 jobs annually to have kept his 250,000-new-jobs-in four-years-promise.

Does he think we won't see through this trick:
