Scott Walker’s presidential campaign has wilted in the heat of a summer dominated by Donald Trump. Now, his supporters and loyalists are calling for a mid-course correction.

Backers of the Wisconsin Republican governor, writes the Washington Post, say what’s needed is a more disciplined focus on the issues Walker long championed in his state. Walker, supporters say, appears to have had too many meetings with too many experts, and turned into a more timid version of himself. These backers miss the Midwestern candidate who focused on economic issues like weakening public unions, making painful budget cuts and slashing taxes by more than $2 billion. A former Republican officeholder who didn’t want to be named said Walker needs to project the political persona that first made him attractive to conservatives, rather than seemingly lurch further to the right on issues that have never been at his core.
