And the nationāand the nationās late-night comediansāwait with bated breath.
You mean weāre going to have to go a whole week without another Republican announcing for President?
Will America survive?
Waitā¦he hadnāt already? This guy has been in turbo campaign mode for months.
Kinda like the Pope announcing that heāll celebrate Easter Mass in St. Peterās Square. Yeah, who could have seen that coming?
āJULY 13ā
I hereby officially abandon any pretense of being interested in anything about Wisconsin. So long, suckers, and thanks for letting me step all over you these last four-and-a-half years.
Announcing the date of your announcement seems odd. Especially since we got no announcement of the group formed to decide on the announcement date.
Iām anticipating some major schadenfreude when Walker inevitably crashes and burns.
Comedy gold in the offing methinks. Jon Stewartās gonna regret retiring.
Poor Jeb! The money has decided that this goggle-eyed puppet is the one whose strings they want to pull.
Laying in pop corn now. I have some morning chores but Iām seriously hitting my food market for supplies. Itās a long time to the election. The derpās gonna get epic.
The timingās necessary for Fox to get their coverage right. You knowā¦spellcheck is higher order tech.
Help make sure that happens - āwhen Walker inevitably crashes and burns.ā
As he āintroducesā himself to the wider world of voters, and as ānormalā voters (as in not political junkies) begin to pay attention, watch Walker - (Mr. Extremist; donāt forget that) - reposition himself as Mr. Nice Guy Next Door. And watch the mainstream, corporate-owned media lap it up and share their gullible appreciation of him. Donāt let them get away with it! Walker is an Extremist, and extremely good at hiding it when it counts.
Almost like heāll be able to say he won three elections in four years.
Thanks, Wisconsin!
Walker/Martinez 2016. Book it.
He stinks of corruption, so I would go with ābaitedā breath.
Get used to it ā¦ it will be 8 days between Walker and Kasich who will announce on the 21st.
If we survive that long ā¦ lol
He is absolutely corrupt!
This right here is why I think the primaries are his to lose. The media will be loath to glom on to Jeb! Thereās an old saying in Tennessee ā I know itās in Texas, probably in Tennessee ā that says, fool me once, shame on ā shame on you. Fool me ā you canāt get fooled again. So I doubt they want to champion another Bush. Rubio and Walker are the only other two in the bunch I could see the media embracing. Sorry, as much as the GOP pays lip service, i donāt think they would seriously consider a Cuban as their nominee. Takes away a key base rallying point: fuck the browns! And frankly, I can already see Chuck Todd knob-gobbling Walker.
Walkerās the guy.
With Christie and Piyush having announced, Walker will be the third very unpopular governor of his state to enter, and none of them understand they need the folks back home to help propel them. At the very least the complaint will be they donāt spend enough time being governor and more time being a losing candidate
