In his three elections over four years, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker took on unions, two Democratic opponents, and millions in spending by outside groups. Over the weekend, he seemed to have found his next target.
Less than a week after winning re-election, Walker seems to have already set his sights on the 2016 presidential race. Appearing Sunday on "Meet the Press," Walker was asked whether he'd defer a presidential bid if his fellow Wisconsinite, Representative Paul Ryan, decides to run. Walker responded with some seriously backhanded praise, suggesting that Ryan might be too much of a Capitol insider.
