I can't tell if Walker's new oath of allegiance to an incumbent President with Nixonian unpopularity and a similar fate looming suggests a case of Stockholm Syndrome, or if Walker's suck-up is a just a Junior Authoritarian wanting proximity to the Real Deal to see how a Self-Proclaimed Strongman makes it all happen.
You know: the child snatchings and casings the White House tantrums, the buddying-up with Big Russians and giving away an entire Kurdish army, and so forth.
It can't be that Walker really thinks Trump can repeat his fluky 2016 Wisconsin win, and that having been beaten in 2018, Walker has deluded himself into believing that he's the one who can bring Trump across the finish line first in 2020.
All Trump has done for Walker so far is manhandle him in the 2015-16 presidential campaign, then turn off thousands of moderate voters statewide which helped deliver the Governorship to Tony Evers.
Or maybe Walker is is on a post-election defeat neediness bender, or perhaps he believes himself clever enough to use the Trump campaign as yet another personal showcase for advancement and validation without Trump figuring out that Walker, again, is in it for himself.
Con Trump? B.S a major league bullshi**ter? That's a suicide mission, son. Trump's got 20 years of gamesmanship on Walker.
Trump even had a personal fixer. Walker had toadies who couldn't even keep a secret Internet router secret.
Walker may be forgetting that he's not the only one who can drop a bomb on people when they don't know it's [their] moment or time.
Walker might ask his pal Reince Priebus how it went down when Trump decided Priebus was light enough to expend.
It wasn't pretty.
