Walker is on a much hyped Winnebago motorhome campaign tour of Iowa. He has avoided the dreaded small crowd turnout photo disaster by booking only very small venues. Here he is today boasting about "another overflow crowd" while speaking in a tiny room in a Hy-Vee grocery store in Council Bluffs, which is "overflowing" with a few elderly Republicans. Looks like he's calling a BINGO game. Those demographics will not carry him to the White House.

1. Patrick Doyle @GrimestTrigger @ScottWalker A plunger can help with your overflow problems.

"The Hitler salute is appropriate"

"How dare someone lie on Twitter, Mr. Walker!"

2. Can't you just see the excitement in that image?

The audience looks like they are watching some product demonstration at the fair. In a way, I suppose they are.

7. The "crowd" yesterday in Davenport looked like hostages

I think his wife and sons were actually nodding off (in the checkered, pink, and turquoise shirts).

13. Looks like a scene from Dog Day Afternoon

I don't wanna talk to some flunky pig trying to calm me, man.

15. "Raise your hand......

.....how many of you old farts plan to kick off soon so me and my buddy Paul Eddie Munster Ryan can slash the fuck out of Social Security and Medicaid without a lot of whining?"

16. He wouldn't say that until the day after the innauguration

Walker likes to spring his surprises right after he's sworn in so he has an easier time convincing any weak-kneed legislators to vote with him. He likes to hurt people right away so they know he means business- it's his "Reagan beat the Soviet Union by kicking the air traffic controllers' asses out the door" philosophy of ruling. He's kind of stupid, but ruthless.

So yes, the old people in that room will be in for some rough times if they fall for that con man's story and help him win the White House.

10. Walker appears to give the crowd a Nazi salute -- very appropriate. /nt

12. Ha! I've seen that room.

There are school classrooms bigger than that.

[Takket]

14. With any luck some of them might

Livening enough to vote for him in the primary. I wonder how many are aware that a president walker with rip away their social security + Medicare and literally just let them die.

Is that the proper way to hang the American flag on a silo?
