WI-GOV 2018: Could Scott Walker lose reelection in 2018?

[Young Conservative]

Should be close, he's not popular now, base is mad at him for proposing more funding for schools, he's basically killed any budget deal, bankrupted the state and is wanting to bond the wazoo for more road funding. He'll probably win, but it could be close.

Wisconsin ranks 29th in fiscal according to the Mercatus Institute. They are not in dire straights like you wrote.

Also, this.

Well there's really no money (Walker still claiming a surplus though), we can't pay for the roads for sure. Republicans are wanting to still keep cutting everything else since it can't be funded. They found more than what they thought, but still not enough.

Again, you lack a single source. I provided two. I would love for you to read those and I would like to read yours, should you provide one.

Democratic businessman Andy Gronik is running. Anyone know much about him? What are his chances?

[Mister Mets]

It's possible, but he remains a favorite.

The opposition doesn't seem impressive, with a lot of state legislators and people who failed in efforts to gain lower office.

[The Undefeatable Debbie Stabenow]

Could he lose? Yes. Will he? I doubt it.

Doesn't mean he doesn't have time to make some sort of name for himself.

Lean R, but I could also see him losing by 5 points in a bad year for Republicans

Tony Evers who is running is probably the most likely to beat Walker.

State Representative Dana Wachs announced he will challenge Scott Walker in 2018.

He says he wants to be an advocate for "regular folks" and says the economy(predictably) is the most important issue, particularly concerning low wages and student debt. He joins an ever-growing field of Democrats including Andy Gronik, as well as potentially Tony Evers, Kathleen Vinehout, and Mike McCabe, all of whom have filed for governor, but have not officially declared.

How would he fare in a general election against Walker? Could such a crowded and potentially heated primary end up screwing Democrats in a somewhat winnable race?

Wachs' Assembly district is imbedded in Vinehout's Senate district. Very interesting.
