In reply to the discussion: It’s official: Bill Clinton heading to Wisconsin to campaign against Scott Walker [View all]AnotherMcIntosh
(11,064 posts)The Wisconsin voters are, of course, going to decide whether to continue with a proven anti-union, anti-working class Governor or a pro-working class Governor.
Clinton is smooth. He should be able to make it sound like a populist who is in favor of the working class. If he can do that, and if they can either keep people distracted or keep people away from asking him about NAFTA, he should have it made. He and his handlers need to stay away from NAFTA. And whatever they do, they need to stay away from the latest wage-lowering, "free-trade" agreement which is in the works. (From the small amount of details that have been released, some have already called it NAFTA-on-steroids.)
No anti-Walker voter is going to stay home regardless of whether Clinton is able to come across as a populist. His appearance might actually help to get some pro-Democratic voters out that would have otherwise stayed home. Just stay away from NAFTA.
