California Republicans are ripping Scott Walker’s last-minute decision to cancel as the keynote speaker of the state party’s convention next weekend as short-sighted and the latest sign of a candidacy in chaos.

Walker’s abrupt withdrawal left state party leaders scrambling to find a replacement — they ultimately had to settle for former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton — and a host of activists and donors in one of the nation’s richest states disappointed at best, and angry at worst.

“Nothing says your campaign is in a downward spiral like when you skip literally hundreds of activists across the state who have bought tickets to see you speak,” said Jon Fleischman, a former executive director and former vice chair of the California Republican Party.

“Generally, people are understanding,” Fleischman added wryly, “that the guy’s campaign is imploding.”

1. What was he going to discuss anyway?

How to slither your way through a recall with Koch money?

[deutsey]

2. If he is indeed in a downward spiral

I take huge delight in watching this terrible person implode. I only wish it could be more spectacular.

3. When the law and reality bite Gov. Wanker in the ass,

it's going to be the biggest surprise of his life. The guy is in permanent campaign mode and is nothing more than a crook who has learned to scam the political system. When I lived in Milwaukee County, his biggest games plan were to screw county union workers out of their pension and work on getting re-elected. Wisconsin was a good union state when I first got there, but the conservanazis on hate radio basically changed all that. Now, I know many of the union members I worked with loved the racist conservanazi propaganda and voted for the fascists. Now, they are getting what they deserve. He's a bag man for the kocksucker brothers.

4. I hope he doesn't quit campaigning for a long, long time. I love watching him flounder and fail.

A long, stretched out, and agonizing spiral as this turd circles the toilet bowl on the way down the drain. The republican cesspool deserves no less.

5. You skip literally hundreds of activists across the state?

Well, so much for the few hundred stupid people. This guy supports the destruction of the middle class. I hope he goes down as the worst governor ever. Get him the hell out of the race. The GOP's true colors are coming through brightly.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. never a more deserving target for implosion.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

8. Walker sinks despite anti-union message

Any thought that it may be BECAUSE of his anti-union message? Republicans work in unions too.

[dhill926]

11. what I was thinking....

that and the fact that on the national stage, he can't hide he's an asshole...

[snooper2]

12. He is the kind of asshole who just looks like he has a 100 skeletons in his closet

[d_legendary1]

13. People PAID to hear him speak?

Who are those people? If anyone finds out tell them I have several bridges to sell them.

[Judi Lynn]

14. Who's more disgusting: Walker, or people who support him? n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

15. They went from Scott Walker to John Bolton?
