I generally do not like it when posters talk about dress or hair on the trail bu Walker has made bargain shopping at Kohl's a significant part of his stump speeches so it is fair game regarding #Walker16

6 ways Scott Walker has become more Trumpy
By Jenna Johnson August 25 at 1:19 PM
Scott Walker's presidential campaign underwent a reboot last week, and the Republican governor from Wisconsin is now aggressively going after Donald Trump's supporters, many of whom are frustrated with career politicians. The shift has been anything but subtle and Walker often appears to mimic the flashy billionaire, who is leading in early polls.
Here are six changes that I have noticed, especially in the past week:
1) The career politician is now slamming the Republican Party.................................
6) Walker appears to be dressing more professionally.
Trump is notorious for overdressing for the occasion. He wore a blazer during a visit to the border and bright white shoes to the Iowa State Fair. He's a billionaire one who owns planes and helicopters, mansions and resorts and he doesn't pretend to be anything less.
Walker has aggressively pitched himself as an average, middle-class Midwestern dad who understands what it's like to carry tens of thousands of dollars in credit card debt, eat fast food for most meals, fly commercial and bargain-shop at Kohl's. As Walker announced his candidacy at a county fair ground exhibition hall in the Milwaukee suburbs, his two college-age sons wore suits and ties, but the candidate skipped the tie and rolled up his sleeves. At candidate forums over the past few months, Walker has often dressed far more casually than his rivals.

Something seemed off Monday. Walker was wearing a starched white shirt with a blue tie, which he left on even as he toured a valve-making factory in North Carolina and stood outside in the sweltering sun. And over the course of four appearances in two states, there was no mention of bargain-shopping at Kohl's.

Also: Since when does Scott Walker wear a tie on the trail? Is this a new look to match his all-business tone?

(4,450 posts)so now he's going with "mini-Trump?"
This is going to be like a caddie trying to crash a big socialite party at the country club. Scott ain't got a clue how to behave like a blue blood. He can fake "Midwest nice" but I don't think he can fake Trump. It just isn't part of his DNA.
This is going to be entertaining
