All his probusiness, anti-environmental, anti-labor, anti-education, anti-Medicaid, anti-people in crisis getting relief machinations that were going to launch our economy have left it with a 3 billion dollar deficit.

Walker understands how to dog-whistle Christian fundamentalists, he understands how to dog-whistle the WASPY WI-teahadists

His -best-course to continue in politics is UP. And he needs up SOON 'cause his governance is going to look worse and worse over time.

VP is not really a terrible thing...It's a 6 digit per year retirement for 4 years of clowning around as the formal president of the senate.

In so many ways Walker is much like Millard Fillmore. He could get to the presidency by a death of a president or some crisis that caused a president to resign, but his real strength is in whipping up the know-nothings. JUST LIKE MILLARD FILLMORE.

I don't think there is huge loyalty to Walker that would push WI to a Bush candidacy,

but the WI-GOP has a good read on HRC, thanks to her overt interest in the presidency and long public history.

I think the Charlie Sykes conservative talk radio has rooms full of filing cabinets stuffed with material to whip the teahad against HRC...not to say they would not attempt to so whip anyone else... (I don't think Sykes uses thumb-drives).

The VP choice of Scottie Walker would make Jebba the Bush look smart. Same reason that McCain chose Palin. Did not work so well for McCain. Hope for a similar outcome for Jebba and Scottie

if I were 20 years younger and had money I would leave this country for good. Castro's the only one I can stand.

Harvard and Yale educated vs. Dipshit ...then translated into Spanish for Univision by Castro, himself.

Not just a forum where each person gets their time, but a good old fashioned grilling.

a headline the other day saying it's not over, by a long shot! I can't find anything new....either.....It may have been an older article...

If it is over..I must wonder how it "just went away"......

OK.. but with over 300 million people in this country, it's pretty tragic that we can't find anyone "fresh".
