"Scott Walker will do anything to get elected! Because that's what politicians do!"...

As Walker answered questions from reporters in a parking lot, a man with a scraggly beard wearing a blacktop hat and carrying a white flower came up with a sign reading: "How can we make the world better." A spokeswoman tried to knock the sign away. A few campaign staffers stood in front of him. He jumped up on a rock. Later, as Walker did a one-on-one interview with a local reporter, the top-hat protester jumped on top of a car and started screaming: "Scott Walker will do anything to get elected! Because that's what politicians do!"...

Scott Walker went to Theo's Pizza Restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire to do some glad-handing with the public. While there, he encountered a young couple that were so eager to meet him, they carried a homemade sign supporting Walker for president. But when he went to take a picture with them, the young man flipped the poster and hilarity ensued:

that also got fooled on the phone several years ago, by some prankster claiming to be Charles Koch? He's a buffoon. No wonder he gets pranked.

...that Scott Walker has the charisma of Ronald Reagan and the guile of Richard Nixon.

Nice, huh?

If he were to change his party affiliation, renounce his past, adopt the positions of Bernie Sanders and acquire the connections and the name recognition of Hillary Clinton--THEN I'd agree he would do ANYTHING to get elected. Short of all of that, however, I doubt he has a snowball's chance in hell of seeing the inside of the Oval Office as anything other than a tourist.
