SCOTT WALKER, Wisc. Gov. *15th GOP 2016 Candidate Now: There's Proof How He Would Run the US



July 15, 2015 (Video, 6:24 mins.).

On July 13, Wisconsin Gov. SCOTT WALKER officially announced his campaign for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination at a rally in Waukesha, WI and just ran his first political campaign ad.
Thom Hartmann is joined by BRENDON FISCHER, of the Center for Media and Democracy and ALEC Exposed, to take a look at Walker's "EVERYMAN " routine and to discuss the real effect of his failed polices in Wisconsin.

Walker is running as a "Midwestern EVERYMAN"- who doesn't have a college degree, and who came from a humble background before becoming a public servant. But the fact that his biggest backers are CHARLES and DAVID KOCH- negates all of that- and his policies in Wisconsin are the same failed REAGANOMICS that have destroyed the American middle class over the last 35 years.

in the new state budget and decided workers don't need weekends off. What he could do as President blows the mind.
