Scott Walker may have a promising future



CLEVELAND (The Borowitz Report)—Based on his performance in Thursday night’s debate, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has emerged as a leading candidate to manage an Enterprise Rent-a-Car branch, Enterprise has confirmed.

Tracy Klugian, a human-resources director for the rental-car giant, said that he did not know what to expect before the debate, but after watching Walker in action he felt confident that the Wisconsinite had “what it takes to succeed at Enterprise.”

“He didn’t get too many moments in the spotlight, but, just from what I saw, I would feel comfortable putting him behind one of our rental counters,” he said.


(snip)

Enterprise’s faith in Walker appears to be echoed by a new poll, which shows that thirty-one per cent of voters believe he is qualified to assistant-manage a rental-car branch.

Come on. You gott give it up for a guy this advanced in his years. Besides vim/vigor he's articulated a passionate, resounding clarion call for a new movement in this nation. He's called out the Big Moneyed interests and refused their aid. He's burned his conventional political bridges in an effort to demonstate whom he sides with during this election cycle. YOU.

Not simply trying to vie for the nomination, he's transcended that with a cry for more democratic congressional seats filled in both bodies, so that he can effect the real change in Washington Americans have longed so long for they've become numb.

Walker doesn't have a single quality necessary for high public office. I don't see how he got this far.
