Well, 3 terms is kind of a stretch. That is a long time to preside over the affairs of a state, and a lot of time to suck up blame or get negative attention. I don't recall Walker ever being a well-liked Governor, either. He's more like a bland partisan hack.

Regardless of the outcome, Walker has lots of accomplishments as a governor. I am grateful for his crusade against corrupt public unions

Oh yeah, backroom deals, destroying the budget, gutting the public education system (on which Wisconsin's economy relies heavily), ignoring infrastructure improvements.

Yeah, all the accomplishments.

Seriously. Walker's administration is no paragon of ethics or honesty. Let's not forget the John Doe files, or restructuring the ethics board to grind it to a halt, or the numerous changes to election law to gain an advantage (including brutal gerrymanders now the focus on a pivotal SCOTUS suit), or how they deregulated laws against lead paint after getting hearty donations from that industry.

Walker and his pals in the legislature aren't as much pro-business as they are pro-corruption, with special laws and favors beyond the traditional conservative deregulation scheme up to the highest bidder.

If people want to rag on unions, fine, but at least take stock of the bad actors on your own side.
