Even Walker and his Wisconsin GOP can't get along...

Based on past record, I'd say Walker is lying his head off. Again.

Republican legislative leaders push back against Walker’s claims

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republican leaders in the Wisconsin Legislature are pushing back against Gov. Scott Walker’s description of how he had to convince them to pass his signature initiative curbing public sector union rights.

Walker this week has been saying in campaign stops in Minnesota and New Hampshire that some Republican lawmakers were resistant to his push in 2011 against the unions.

But Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos tweeted Friday, “We didn’t need to be convinced to support it.” And Republican Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke tweeted that, while he was new in 2011, “timid is not a description that fit our caucus. Resolute and united is.”

At one point, Walker looked like he could give Jeb a run and be a viable GOP nominee. Now, I am hoping that Walker is the GOP nominee
