Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker declared his candidacy for the republican nomination on Monday, surprising absolutely no one, and promising to be a leader who will fight and win for us.
One thing is for certain: Walker has the republican facade down pat--presumably the Wisconsin Governor said he would fight for us with a straight face knowing full well that (as his record in Wisconsin clearly shows) he's going to fuck over working class Americans every chance he gets.
Walker is running on the kinda/sorta Chris Christie position that he can beat Democrats on their own turf, winning the governorship of a state twice that hasn't voted for a republican Presidential nominee since 1988. Unfortunately for Walker, neither of his victories was prohibitive in decidedly republican years, and that doesn't bode well for him in years when Democrats turn out in big numbers. He's also patting himself on the back for knocking those pesky unions for a loop--which did absolutely nothing for Wisconsin's economy. Walker's Wisconsin ranks 35th in job growth and has had a decided drop in household income during his tenure. Not to mention that Walker fought so hard for public employees that they've seen a 10% drop in their pay--any wise opponent, be it Democrat or republican, is sure to point out that ordinary Americans would prefer he take his boxing gloves to some other fucking country because none of us can financially afford to have him "fighting" for us.
Methinks, though, in the end what will kill Walker, at least nationally, is that like Chris Christie, he's an asshole. Even worse, he's a wimpy asshole--he's always given me the impression that he could be easily bitch slapped by kindergartners. He's just so fucking pasty.
Peace,
