He will eat your liver with pork n' beans and root beer.
Walker going cannibal, completely believable. Having the skills to properly pick a wine, up there with unicorns.

So much to choose from:
In the meantime, though, the race for the Republican Party presidential nomination sure seems funny.

Take a combustible mix of the most depraved and filterless half-wits, scam artists and asylum Napoleons America has to offer, give them all piles of money and tell them to run for president.
