The pragmatic conservative? We have had the compassionate conservative, and now we can try a new flavor, it seems. Looks like immigration will rise to the top of the issue heap for the next election. It should be a no-brainer for the GOP, but the thing that holds them back is the big money. If that big money didn't talk to them so loud, they'd have a winning issue for sure. Nobody likes immigration except the fat cats.
Walker may be the kind of candidate who could pull it off. Dick Morris called him a "switch hitter" because he can appeal to the GOP establishment ( fat cats ) and the base ( proletarians ). If he can manage his campaign along those lines consistently, the Democrats may find a candidate that is hard to attack along their favorite lines, like "extremism". How can you attack a guy as extremist who can appeal across multiple types of people?
