MSNBC reports:
Gov. Scott Walker on Thursday returned to the public eye since losing an expensive and hard-fought bid for a third term — telling reporters he doesn’t know what’s next but doesn’t see his loss as a “rejection.”
“It was without a doubt a big election — bigger turnout than ever before — but the numbers we received a week ago Tuesday would have won the election four years ago, would have won the election eight years ago,” Walker said. “In no way do I see it as a rejection, but rather just a larger electorate than we’ve ever seen in the past.”
“What have we not done?” Walker said, referring to major legislation altering the state’s landscape for manufacturers, public employees and residents on welfare. “We’ve been such a reformer, I may have reformed myself out of a job.”
“What have we not done? We’ve been such a reformer, I may have reformed myself out of a job. There’s your quote there.” — @ScottWalker pic.twitter.com/ccEKprxEX4
