Examples of Walker in a Sentence
People are still projecting a lot on Scott Walker, he's everyone's favorite - we're not kicking the tires yet.

We don't need this, plus, you know, he cost us the two Senate seats in Georgia… told people not to vote. He says he's going to Georgia and he'll be supporting Herschel Walker and telling people to vote. I hope that's the case. I hope he doesn't talk about himself, but talks about Herschel, but I have my worries.
Hillary Clinton's numbers on honesty and trust may border on abysmal but Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the GOP front runner, is still battling a name recognition handicap, do Colorado voters trust Hillary? No, they do not. Do they think she cares about their needs? No, they do not.
