Strange statement. I wonder what alternate reality this guy is living in? That's not objectively true according to the signs of the 100,000 that were there this weekend, or the 70,000 last weekend (when a few thousand counter protesters showed up, bussed in by the Koch brothers "Tea Party" group), nor the thousands within the capital building this week.

Nor according to current public opinion polls that say 61% of Wisconsin citizens support the right to collectively bargain and disagree with Walker trying to take that away.

“The protesters have been loud, but I believe they’re a vocal minority,” Wynn said.

Oh! I see! He's going with "belief". Not "facts" Who knows, maybe his individual district is telling him differently than the Wisconsin polls are showing.
