But…but…he’s a man of the people, he shops at Kohl’s. How can billionaire energy company execs love him? This makes no sense.

That should go over well with the tea party base that votes in the primaries.
Strange. I just read that Blue State GOP governors that are surrounded by scandals aren’t promising presidential contenders.

He’s the guy they’ve been grooming for years. The money->favorable policy->more money->more favorable policy feedback loop has been established and works flawlessly for them, so time to really push and monetize that investment. That’s the game plan. I wonder if the country will bother to understand that Walker is the ultimate “best candidate money can buy” for the richest guys in the world, who apparently aren’t rich enough yet since they want to install someone who will help them triple their fortunes over the years ahead.

Transformative? Yeah … he’s transformed Wisconsin into a corrupt Republican ideological dumping ground.

Might as well pack up the campaigns, Jeb, Chris, Ted, Marco, Rand and whoever else drops by the clown car. The Kochs have made their choice of who they want to purchase.
Might as well skip the election too. It’s a messy process and the voters can’t be trusted to pick the right man for the job.

How about a few enterprising souls start replaying that classic tape of Walker on the phone with who he thought was one of the Koch brothers. Comedy gold. Play it right through the election.

You’re kidding, right? The tea partiers love the Kochs – and the “Tea Party” was basically a Koch creation, which many of them are well aware of. Of course, they call it principled support of a patriotic movement and not opportunistic exploitation of inchoate Bircherite rage for financial gain, but still.

The Democratic Party needs to make Walker’s candidacy a referendum on the damage the Koch’s have done to great numbers of ordinary people across our nation. It needs to keep hammering on the Koch’s influence as the embodiment of all that’s gone wrong for average Americans over the past several decades.
