Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker believes the “hard left” anger aimed at Wisconsin Republicans is helping to motivate his base, and may even deliver him a third term in the governor’s mansion in Madison.

“In a re-elect, particularly for a third term, any governor of any party would be concerned about complacency,” Walker said in an interview with the Washington Examiner. “I think … the Left helps us with that because there’s so much vitriol here, so much anger against us by the hard left that that, in turn, inspires not only our base voters, but it makes most everyday voters kind of look at them and wonder, ‘what’s the big deal?'”
