It seems really possible that these two will be the GOP ticket. Bush for the establishment and Walker for the conservatives and Wisconsin.

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).
