(CNN polling)
July 22-25: 10% (3rd)
Aug 13-16: 8% (4th)
Sept 4-8: 5% (5th)
Sept 17-19: <1% (12th)

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy

[shenmue]

1. He hates teachers and older people

How much worse can he suck?

[HubertHeaver]

14. Just when you think they have reached the bottom,

they find a whole new level.

Rest assured, he will demonstrate that new, even lower level.

[Joe Chi Minh]

27. LOL!

[liberalmike27]

66. Been Saying

Guy looks like a clueless, dolt.

[Moostache]

77. Looks like?

HE IS A CLUELESS DOLT!!!

Of all the clown car contestants in the GOP circus, he and Marco Rubio bother me the most...most likely because they are both about my age and both far less qualified than me to be president and I am totally unqualified in my own right!

Walker is a craven puppet who seeks public office to lick the soles of the feet of the Kochs and their ilk. He has no ideas, no real policy aims and no reason to be president other than to serve the will of his paymasters. He makes me sick and I am highly offended by virtually everything he does. The world will be a better place in spades the day that weasel dies.

Rubio is just as bad if not worse. He is a charlatan of immense proportion and has a little redeeming quality as Walker (or for that matter damn near the entire GOP field).

While its fun watching the GOP eat its own, the sad thing is that these clowns are not REALLY running to be president...I don't think they really care all that much as a party about the White House....they are all angling for book deals, talk shows and cushy slots in the perpetual GOP noise machines...

[irisblue]

2. good news

[underpants]

3. But

He's so articulate and engaging

[Plucketeer]

47. I've dug up onions

that were more articulate and engaging - and had a useful purpose too!

[maddiemom]

64. Scott Walker:

He makes Nixon, in retrospect, look very attractive and charming. And at least Nixon (regardless of his many, many faults) was intelligent and well educated.

[Vinca]

4. This must be the first time he failed at a con.

He was the candidate I was most worried about since he's dumber than a stump but has managed to hoodwink the voters of his state time and time again. Buh-bye, Scottie.

[Cal33]

31. Do you think another reason of his winning in WI might possibly be vote-manipulation? I also

wonder why the Koch brothers picked him - of all people. It's not possible for him to be of
any good to any person, not even a right-winger. He is jinxed, just like W.

[jeff47]

78. IMO, it's lame opponents

We kept putting up uninspiring centrists against him, IIRC.

(Not from WI, so I may be wrong)

[maddiemom]

84. Belated reply:

Total obedience and obsequiousness to the Kochs must have been their only qualifications when they chose him (remember the phony phone call he fell for that was supposedly from a Koch?). You'd have thought the brothers would have had a wide selection of better educated and more personable and attractive budding politicians willing to sell out to them. The Kochs must think the average citizens are even dumber than they are.

[Stardust]

59. I was most worried about him as well, especially since he was the Kochs' chosen one. I am so

relieved that he bombed.

[PeaceNikki]

5. I just hope he sticks it out for many more months.

As a resident of the great state of WI, I like seeing him made a fool of on a global level, plus it keeps him out of my beloved state.

[Ed Suspicious]

9. Yes.

[riversedge]

30. I can't help but think

how vindictive he will be once back here in WI.

[Dustlawyer]

45. I can relate! Perry may be out of office, but his Teflon crap here needed to be worn off!

[Lifelong Protester]

50. The dumba**** that voted for him

(and I know that's not you nor I nor anyone on this board) have to see that the 'shininess' is off of him, he really 'has no clothes'. I hope the Kochs lost BIG on him.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

6. Gilmore, Pataki, Jindal and Graham all need to fold up shop.

None of them have gotten any bumps at all out of the debates, and they're all doing horribly. And if they do that, Republicans can quit having a 'kiddie table' debate before the real one.

[brooklynite]

8. Actually, the GOP has indicated they might skip the kiddie table altogether next time...

...and just let the "real" candidates debate.

[Thav]

67. They haven't finished making money off their campaigns.

Once the cashflow dries up, they will.

[gateley]

7. This makes my heart happy. Thanks for posting, brooklynite! :-) nt

[TwilightGardener]

10. He only got--what? Three or four questions during the debate.

What can you do when you're deliberately ignored like that? I dislike the guy quite a bit (especially since we're now a union household), but it's pretty unfair to direct very little attention to him at that forum and then bash him for being a quiet non-entity. And that is the most charitable thing I will ever say about this beady-eyed shitweasel.

[sarge43]

12. *Snort

You're going to get a letter from the International League of Beady-eyed Shitweasels demanding you retract the comparison. They have standards, you know.

[NBachers]

19. That's my laugh of the day!

[sarge43]

20. Thank you :) n/t

[SylviaD]

17. That last bit gave me a laugh. Thanks! n/t

[DRoseDARs]

22. Did he at least get a coloring book to fill during Quiet Time? nt

[Jack Rabbit]

79. That's not true, TG. Scott is not a beady-eyed shitweasel.

He's a glassy-eyed shitweasel. It must be related to his very serious Koch addiction.

[world wide wally]

11. To the kiddie table!

It would be so nice to see this turd humiliated into losing that arrogant smirk

[PeaceNikki]

13. No, it's so much more fun watching him try to take on the others. Plus the kiddie table

would give him a ton more air time.

Shit, they're going to move him there.

[Jim Lane]

57. He might not even qualify for the kiddie table

In the last GOP debate, Jim Gilmore was omitted entirely. The rule applied was that a candidate had to be polling at least one percent to qualify.

Gilmore groused about his omission. The fact is, though, that anyone putting on a debate needs to apply some criteria. There are, I think, literally hundreds of people in each major party who've filed with the FEC as candidates. For example, we were saying there were 17 GOP candidates before Perry withdrew, but that's omitting Mark Everson. He's on almost no one's radar, but he's a former Commissioner of Internal Revenue, so he's at least a cut above the various loons who don't even have a Wikipedia article.

It's possible that, by the next debate, Walker could join Gilmore out in the front yard, with his nose pressed against the window wishing he could at least be at the kiddie table.

[smirkymonkey]

15. I just get this lovely feeling of schadenfreude thinking of all the money the

Koch brothers sunk into his candidacy and campaign. And all for nothing! Bwahahahaha!

[LiberalElite]

23. That's what heartens me about this

charade of a political process in this country. The Koch Brothers are powerful, yes, but their power (read: money) has limits.

[former9thward]

33. Outside groups have only spent 1 million on Walker.

That is nothing for them.

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/us/elections/election-2016-campaign-money-race.html

[sorechasm]

37. Those 'Job Creators' really know how to spend those Tax-Free $M.

Which pony are they going to dress-up next? Libertarian Rand Paul?

[Bigmack]

49. Schadenfreude..... it's what's for dinner! I'll have a double helping, thanks... nt

[H2O Man]

16. Recommended.

He isn't qualified to be in any position of authority. Like you said, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

[Milliesmom]

18. Take that Koch brothers, your money is going down the drain!!!!

[NBachers]

21. But I was SO hoping that the Wisconsin Miracle would spread to the rest of the United States.

[Still In Wisconsin]

24. My favorite description of Scott Kevin Walker goes like this:

Scott Walker is a mediocre county executive who has risen far above his talents.

Now everybody knows and I'm loving it. Scott Walker is the Forrest Gump of state-level politics in Wisconsin. He's always won by being in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Thankfully, though, this version of the story has "Forrest" skulking home in shame at the end of the movie, his very intimidated tail tucked between his legs.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

42. Grrrreat comment.

[maddiemom]

65. Anyone else old enough to remember the "Peter Principle"?

[Still In Wisconsin]

68. I've had it explained to me a few times in regards to Walker

and it seems to apply perfectly. He has, indeed, risen to the level of his incompetence.

[mcar]

25. Oh yeah

So glad to see this.

[wolfie001]

26. He's a disgusting pig and an a-hole

So good, ha ha!!!!

[Enthusiast]

28. He kept pounding the anti-labor stuff. Look where it got him.

[thesquanderer]

29. As glad as I am to see him fall...

...I can't get away from the fact that so many of the ones beating him are no better. Too bad it's impossible for every last one of them to fall below 1%. But as it is, the less he has mostly just means the more some other jerk has.

[martigras]

32. Karma

For what he did to state workers and teachers.

[sorechasm]

39. Those who spent many nights in the Wisconsin State Capitol protesting his policies may finally

Feel some retribution. Thank you Wisconsin for showing us what a jerk he is. (I wish we could get your pensions back.)

[Sienna86]

34. Must be disappointing to Koch brothers.

Perhaps they'll try some desperate action to revive his chances or maybe the Kochs will jump ship to Jeb.

[aidbo]

35. The other Scott Walker:

https://m.

[ejbr]

36. I just love it

when Clinton and Sanders supporters get together for a good laugh!

[blackspade]

38. Yes, a mighty idiot!

Yay!

[mdbl]

40. I too wonder about the election system in Wisconsin

Did Walker really win that recall? I hate thinking that the people of Wisconsin did that to themselves. Anyway, he's a POS and will be glad to see him go.

[usaf-vet]

51. NO!

HELL NO!!

[deutsey]

41. One of the unexpected delights of this primary

Actual footage of Walker's campaign:

[Stardust]

58. Those colors are amazing. nt

[EEO]

43. Good.

[Adrahil]

44. Good. Fuck that union busting, Koch toady. nt

[mythology]

46. It's not like the candidates that rose as he fell are any better

The only non-batshit crazy Republican candidate is George Pataki (maybe you could include Jim Gilmore, but he's got some problems - above and beyond the fact that I have the same odds of winning the Republican nomination as he does).

[Mr.Bill]

48. Maybe it's because the other candidates at the debate

had better make-up, but I did notice he was sweating profusely that night.

Comedians call it flop-sweat. He had it bad.

[dobleremolque]

52. Won't be long

before the Koch brothers find themselves another political rent-boy.

[ThoughtCriminal]

53. Who cares what GOP primary voters think?

In that race, the numbers show he is not priming up enough hate and bat-shit crazy ideas to appeal to the base.

[valerief]

54. I won't be happen until that piece of shit falls into a six-foot grave. The world would be better

without him.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

55. Scott Walker is what I use as a prime example of GOP "stinkin' thinkin'"....

The construct goes like this:

1: Reagan was wildly popular with the American People.

2: Reagan was anti-union.

3: Being anti-union is wildly popular with the American people.

4: Scott Walker is anti-union.

5: Scott Walker is wildly popular with the American People.

They honestly believed the public would lift up Scott Walker and carry him to the White House on their shoulders, cheering all the way.

But then, Republicans are so tone deaf that they picture going home to a heroes welcome complete with a brass band for shutting down the government.

[BuelahWitch]

56. Playin' my tiniest violin for Scotty!

[AllyCat]

60. I know the whole lot of GOP candidates is bad, but this man is a special brand of poison.

He has destroyed our beautiful Wisconsin. The rest of the country does not deserve his evil.

[Nitram]

61. That's what happens when you mess with the working man's union. nt

[brooklynite]

62. Care to elaborate?

We are talking about Republicans here...

[davidpdx]

63. IMHO Walker, Cruz, Huckabee, Christie, Kasich, Santorum, Gilmore, Graham, Jindal, Pataki, and Paul

should all drop out. Five candidates would be enough considering Donald Trumps mouth.

[restorefreedom]

69. does the op have a box of tissues handy?

cuz i think i'm gonna....

i'm gonna....

(heaving sobs)

[Major Hogwash]

70. Homer Simpson would get higher ratings than Walker.

Doh!

[NCjack]

71. Looks like Walker is going back to Wisconsin to make more mischief there. /nt

[Orsino]

72. The charisma, intellect and integrity of damp cardboard.

Iowans were suckered, but who ever thought that Walker could excite anyone not named Koch?

[Jack Rabbit]

73. Let's celebrate with a song . . .

[center]

[/center]

[Babel_17]

74. It's enjoyable to see

I do remember though that it's likely most supporters that deserted him went for someone with policies that we also hate. Where are they fleeing to? Carson? Fiorina?

[Bucky]

75. Serves him right for trying to be subtle about his brand of crazy

The future belongs to the openly loony

[Martin Eden]

76. I wonder what he's polling in Wisconsin. n/t

[KamaAina]

80. Time to send Snotty Scotty back to the kids' table

with Booby et al.

[JackInGreen]

81. Aaaaw poor Scottybear

I hope they (metaphorically) hunt him down in his den next election and make a flag to fly as a warning out of his hide. 'NO MORE.'

[trusty elf]

82. Remember.......

descent the highest form of patriotic!
