Gov. Scott Walker is eyeing July 13 for his presidential announcement and the Associated Press reports Walker is having trouble enacting his agenda in Wisconsin while he campaigns in today's Walker Watch 2016 headline roundup.

You gotta give him credit for wanting to stay in his state and do the job he was elected to do. He's not my candidate of choice, but this shows he takes his job seriously.

The Koch brothers, who own Gov. Scott Walker, are "eyeing July 13…."

Yes. You gotta give him credit for staying in his state/neighboring state/New England/England and doing the job he was elected to do/needs to do to do the job he wants to do.

Walker will apparently be filing paperwork with the FEC to become an official candidate today.  However, he apparently isn't going to "announce" his candidacy until July 13th:

So what is he going to say between now and the 13th, if someone asks him if he's running?

"I haven't decided yet.  Wait for my announcement on the 13th."
"Then why did you file with the FEC?"
"That might have just been a prank.  I won't say for sure until the 13th."

The reason its taking so long for the budget to get passed is Walker has been out of the state so much this year and he hasn't been able to guide his own party through the budget/legislative process like he has in past cycles.

It may be a lawyer thing. There were people saying that Jeb Bush passed the point of being a candidate legally long before he actually announced based on this rule about passing the $5000 spent and/or received level.

He accidentally announced his candidacy using the Twitter:

In other Walker news, the WI legislature passed new abortion restrictions that Walker is expected to sign (and use as evidence of his social conservatism while campaigning in Iowa):

Sanders should punk him by holding a bigger rally next door to where his announcement is.

Walker is a mess in many ways but he'll probably get as big an announcement bump as anyone, specifically in Iowa where he'll grow his already comfortable lead. Which isn't to say he won't crumble in the first debate.

Hillary is kind of already doing that. She's outlining her economic policy on Monday.

Coincidence?

Not that any of you far left loons care, but a twitter spokesman just announced that the site has determined that Walker's team was not at fault here. They are looking into what happened.

Again, you guys need to educate yourself before throwing feces.
