That's all he has done since being elected in 2010 and now he is ready for his pay day. Most of the electorate gets their understanding of politics through the lens of the bought and paid for corporate media. And the billionaires Walker sold Wisconsin to are the ones who can influence that corporate media enough to get this soulless man elected. It worked in Wisconsin- he easily outspent his Democratic opponent almost two-to-one, and that made the difference. A Walker win is possible, and so is our descent into outright fascism.
