The obvious policy reasons aside for why he’ll never be elected President, he has the charisma of sour oranges.
That may be true, however if he is running against Hillary it isn’t like she is the most charismatic person the Democratic party could nominate. In 2016, charisma will not be as important as experience and competence The country did charisma and I don’t think they are going to be swept away by charisma and rhetorical ability in 2016.
If Walker wins by 5% or more, he will probably be lseen as a real contender for the GOP nomination.

I live in Madison and it always seems impossible for this guy to win again. And then, I take a drive up to Baraboo and have a sad. There are plenty of modest rural homes with “I Stand With Scott Walker” signs, because we all know how important the struggles of poor people are to Scott Walker.

A dad gum Republican Party robo-caller has interrupted my kindergartner’s bedtime books about 5 times now. Nothing from Democrats. I really hope Mary Burke is trying harder than what it looks like at my house.
I’m hoping the jealousy of kindergarten teachers and snowplow drivers has finally played itself out. Being treated shitty by your employer is almost like a fraternity ritual: we lost our pensions and half our 401(k) got eaten by the housing bubble crash, so everyone else should have to lose the same.
If people fought to improve their own lives instead of to smugly knock someone else down a peg, Walker wouldn’t stand a chance.

If Scottie did win as President (picture Karl Rove smiling as the numbers in Ohio flip at 11 o’clock at night) the entire USA would become one big mining pit for the Koch brothers. Free of charge.

The country also did contenders. Like McCain, Palin and Romney. Walker may fancy himself a contender but he will get slaughtered in a Presidential election, no doubt.

The desperate push to make one of these Koch chumps seem normal and like a viable option is amusing I guess. Walker has the same shot as Chris Christie, which is zero. They both screwed up their own futures by selling out their present.
Slick campaigns don’t put the stolen funds back in the people’s pockets and they aren’t going to give it back and apologize now that they have laid their hands on it.
Romnerd is really looking like their best option for 1st loser again and nothing could be better for us Democrats.

Every picture I see of Walker he looks like a doofus. We don’t elect doofus-y people to the presidency anymore.
