Glad to see this but I will not court that jerk out by a long shot!

Scott Walker is losing to Hillary Clinton by 10 points in his home state of Wisconsin

The good news for Scott Walker's presidential bid? He's still leading his home state in the primary.

But the Marquette Law poll released Thursday is just the latest indication that the Wisconsin governor's campaign is in serious trouble.

The poll found:......................
In a head-to-head matchup of Walker against Hillary Clinton, Wisconsin voters would opt for Clinton, 52 percent to 42 percent. Jeb Bush, meanwhile, only lost to Clinton by five points.

................... On paper, he seemed to be in the sweet spot in the field — conservative enough to excite the right, yet battle-tested at winning elections in his blue state. And while he didn't come anywhere near Jeb Bush's fundraising, the $26 million in outside money he pulled in was a respectable haul.

But Donald Trump has since passed Walker in Iowa polls — some of which also show Ben Carson tied with or passing the Wisconsin governor. And Walker has more generally failed to impress, particularly at the first GOP debate, where he said little that was noteworthy. (FiveThirtyEight's Harry Enten later found that Walker was the only Republican to have lost support in every single post-debate poll as of August 12.) Meanwhile, none of Walker's fellow sitting governors have endorsed him so far, and only three members of Congress have done so (two of whom are from Wisconsin). ...............
