Related: About this forumWalker has traveled to DC and California twice each in past four days
He's in full money grubbing, self-promoting, campaign mode again. The little monster is up to something. Either he's setting himself up to be Pence's VP after Trump is forced out, or he's just raising a boatload of money for 2018 (US Senate?).
Gov. Scott Walker called off his planned trip around the state on Thursday to unveil his major plan to "dramatically help rural schools" in Wisconsin. The reason: The Republican had come down with a cold.
But by Friday, Walker was up and about.
First, he had made it to Washington, D.C., to tape a Friday segment in a studio with Appleton native Greta Van Susteren for her political show on MSNBC. He then stopped by the White House, posting photos on Twitter and Facebook of him with President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Trump Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Pence's office posted a photo of Walker with former Speaker Newt Gingrich as well.
On Saturday, Walker flew to Indian Wells, Calif., not far from Palm Springs, to attend the political retreat hosted by the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, according to NBC News. Then it was back to Washington for the black-tie dinner hosted by the Alfalfa Club, whose members include billionaires and members of Congress, at the Capital Hilton Hotel...

Then, he was back with the billionaires in California on Monday:
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. The wealthy conservative donors aligned with billionaires Charles and David Koch assembled here this weekend celebrated one-party Republican control in Washington and the GOPs growing power in the states.
But they concluded their three-day gathering Monday with a message to GOP politicians: We want results.
Its put up or shut up time, Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker told a crowded ballroom of Koch donors Monday, as he called for an overhaul of the federal tax code and massive redistribution of public money and power to the states.

(18,964 posts)1. It's a positioning strategy for sure...but
for what???
His next run at Governor?
To take VP when Trump is impeached? (or quits out of boredom)
Scotty is still money grubbing like the op said...and that other little worm, Preibus, is still scheming to get his protege' into the President's chair....even if he has to sit on a telephone book to fit into it!
