    Back on topic: Scott Walker obviously believes in evolution but is afraid to say it out loud.

    More disingenuously, he was also bragging about Wisconsin's economy/recovery, which is basically a fabrication/fantasy on his part, according to Chuck Todd's fact-checked graphics on Meet The Press. I should also point out that Walker just proposed to use public resources to finance a new NBA stadium for (the billionaire owners of) the Milwaukee Bucks, just days after proposing huge cuts to the state’s public universities. Oh well, at least he was shamed out of changing the university system's mission statement into that of a trade school.

    Perhaps he should start bragging to the GOP mouth-breathers about how proud he is to have failed to graduate from college. That should help them realize that he's presidential timbre.

      Does anyone actually care that Scott Walker doesn't have a bachelor's degree? Can anyone seriously argue that a) he isn't intelligent and b) he would have been more successful with one? He's the governor of a US state and iirc a multimillionaire.

      You know who else didn't graduate from college? Bill ****ing Gates. Sometimes it just doesn't matter.

      Scott Walker busts unions. That's his selling point. If you don't like that, you won't like him. I like that. I like that a lot. Scott Walker. If/when he runs in the primary, he's the guy that I'm voting for.

      Breaking the backs of the public-sector unions does two things: 1. Shows a willingness and ability to take on deep-rooted, problematic establishment interests, and 2. does one of the two things required to get state-level finances on track (the other being curbing Medicare).

          Correction: apparently he's not a multimillionaire. I was thinking of someone else. Still, he's an electoral juggernaut and clearly intelligent so who cares that he never graduated?

            He probably couldn't even carry his own state in the general election. He just squeezed by in a low turn out off year election.

              Just squeezed by? He won by almost 6 percentage points. He's been through 3 statewide elections, each time winning handily.

                      Is HC describing Scott Walker or Rod Blagojevich?

                        Truthfully, Walker isn't very well educated, he never got a degree, and you can tell. That is probably the main reason he is such a blind ideologue who is unable to adapt policy for conditions. It is probably also why he was at such a complete lose as to what to do when his cuts to basic services (in order to pay for tax cuts only for the very wealthy) resulted in the recession getting worse.

                          His political career will soon be over.

                          He's going to be just another failed Republican primary candidate... a laughing stock. The Republican Presidential primary is just an audition for a FOX News commentator position.

                          The party is a joke. Mid term gains is all they can muster because old white racist shitbags vote more proportionally in those election cycles. Real people have to work for a living instead of sitting at home watching FOX News and stuffing their faces with chicken wings.

                          Note that Walker's election wins have never come during a Presidential election cycle. June 2012 doesn't count. That's the only reason a Republican has had success in that state. That's also the case in many other states.

                          However, I see that as a good thing. It allows Republican idiots to think that they in a much better position overall than they actually are. That's why you see such bold and fearless moves to being "full ******". They're overconfident. 2016 will be a fun election.

                            Walker is leading in GOP polls in Iowa. Not that it means much.

                            At this time in 2007, Hillary Clinton was clearly leading the Dems in Iowa...
