^ And we can only hope Walker, too.
A perfect world for me would include Governor Guadango in New Jersey in two thousand and eighteen and Scott Walker reelected in Wisconsin in two thousand and eighteen. People not familiar with politics in America after reading that sentence need to know there are no term limits for governors in Wisconsin. There are in New Jersey. There are not any term limits for governors in New York. I want for Scott Walker/Rebecca Kleefisch to show us what Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush nineteen hundred and eighty eight would have looked like but in Wisconsin and thirty years later. Ronald Reagan wasn't a candidate for President of the United States in nineteen hundred and eighty eight for one reason. Because he was constitutionally disqualified. Guadango running in New Jersey will be like asking New Jersey voters for a Truman beats Dewey seventy years later. Except for the fact that Harry Truman is a Democrat. I was really impressed by the performance of Kim Guadango in the 2013 lieutenant governor debate. It was clear that her opponent was running for public office for the first time. Mario Cuomo the great governor of New York in nineteen hundred and ninety five was like a child playing with friends outside at night. He is the one that had to come in early. Governor Walker and lieutenant governor Kleefisch have already proved the pundits wrong more than once. Scott Walker is a very composed man. He won Wisconsin three times in four years. If I were him I would go for the third term no matter who the President of the United States is.
All of that to say the pundits will say that Republicans in two thousand and eighteen and two thousand and seventeen by the way will have better chances at electoral success if a Democrat is President. The money for a third make that fourth campaign for governor of Wisconsin on the part of governor Walker is money in my opinion well spent. To clarify the fourth election campaign would be two thousand and eighteen; Walker survived a recall vote statewide in Wisconsin in 2012. Those pundits like weathermen and women. Enough said. Back to New York in nineteen hundred and ninety four I am no fan normally of a young and unqualified man for public office. Yes Bob Dole and Rudy Giuliani have been on opposite ends of the fence before. I side with Giuliani on nineteen hundred and ninety four. George Pataki was only a state senator who ousted a three term incumbent governor of New York. Rudy Giuliani was mayor of New York City in nineteen hundred and ninety four and Bob Dole senate minority leader. The very base of the Democratic party in New York is New York City. Rudy Giuliani that year called out George Pataki while simultaneously endorsing Democrat Mario Cuomo. I think the battle of American politics is once you have power holding onto it. It pits some independent minded people into bitter divides. George Pataki's wife was bitter at Rudy Giuliani for years. She probably still is. So New Jersey and Wisconsin in a couple of years will be a dynamic opportunity for the fight in American politics to hold onto power to be put on display.
