(115,674 posts)First, Walker is as dumb as a box of hammers - probably at least as dumb as the Bush brothers. And he looks even dumber than W. For example, he was handily fooled by a prankster pretending to be one of the Kochs (and the stupidity and fawning were spectacular): http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2013/11/i-punkd-scott-walker-100033.html#.VaRBpUX7omU
Second, he's every bit as corrupt as Christie but the Wisconsin media (mainly the right-wing Milwaukee Urinal-Sentinel) barely covered any of his dirty doings. But here's some information about that: http://www.progressive.org/news/2014/10/187897/scott-walker%E2%80%99s-corruption-problem and http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/06/21/1395233/-Chicago-Tribune-picks-up-big-Walker-corruption-story
Third, Walker's appearance won't help him. He's white, but he looks really stupid.
He also lies every time his lips move, and many of his lies are so blatant and obvious that even a lame media (prostitute) like Wolf Blitzer could catch him on them.
And finally, what has happened to Wisconsin since he became governor is the Dem candidates' best weapon against him. Wisconsin has gone right down the toilet economically, and there are plenty of statistics to prove it.
You might argue that he's the perfect Republican candidate: Stupid, corrupt, and mean as a snake. But he's very, very beatable.
