"I’m going to be president of the United States someday,"

[a kennedy]

WANKER said this back in college that he never graduated from.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/as-scott-walker-mulls-white-house-bid-questions-linger-over-college- exit/2015/02/11/8e17ea44-b13e-11e4-886b-c22184f27c35_story.html

You read this, and you'll know why WANKER WILL BE THE GOP NOMINEE in 2016. And I Swear to gawd.....he'll be the next president. I feel it.... Oh it's over for the Dems, it's over BIG time. The repubs will OWN. Both houses of congress AND the White House.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Oh, please.

Wanker will crash and burn once he's under national scrutiny.

[a kennedy]

4. I hope your right.......

I think the way is open for him to win though. Outside of Hilary, who do the Democrats have as a candidate? I so hope I'm wrong.....so hope we as progressives and Democrats have a really great candidate as in a Barack Obama clone, but with more balls. We hope he, or she, (outside of Hillary), is still ours to protect, to teach, to love, and to win.

6. Besides Hillary, there are (potentially):

Joe Biden
Cory Booker
Andrew Cuomo
Kirsten Gillibrand
Martin O'Malley
Deval Patrick
Bernie Sanders
Brian Schweitzer
Elizabeth Warren
Jim Webb

and possibly others. I like some of them; others not so much. But it's a mistake to assume there's nobody but Hillary. Right now the polls suggest she could beat any GOPer, but that's at least partly a function of name recognition (which Scott Wanker has little of outside the Midwest). The point is, Hillary isn't the only credible Democrat, and it's basically nuts to assume Snotty Scotty has a snowball's chance in hell. His closet is full of skeletons, and besides, he looks stupid.

8. "besides, he looks stupid"- You're talking about my governor!

[davidpdx]

12. The only one that could match Walker in that category is Jeb Bush

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

9. Hillary is toast, "bank" on it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. I'm not going to bank on anything just yet.

While I'm not much of a fan of Hillary, I know that name recognition and deep pockets are very valuable when running for a presidential nomination. There are others I like better but it would be foolish to count her out.

[FSogol]

24. "and besides, he looks stupid." Actually, he looks like he is about to start drooling.

Even after his stroke, I don't think President Wilson drooled.

Our list (I'm for O'Malley myself) looks f'ing great with 11 credible candidates.

The GOP list is a f'ing joke with 2 dozen assorted grifters, ignoramuses, Bible-thumpers, and cretins.

[YOHABLO]

28. Andrew Cuomo and Cory Booker .. yeah right. Corporate shills both of them. More so than Hillary

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

30. I didn't say I liked them. They are just on the list of possibilities.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Easy does it. I don't see this happening. Breathe.

Just because this idiot thinks he's going to be president doesn't mean diddly.

No I didn't read the article. I don't need to in order to know that it's wishful thinking.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. Scott Talker is a joke - not to be taken seriously.

[former9thward]

19. Which is what Democrats said in the last three elections in Wisconsin.

He was not to be taken seriously in 2010, the recall election and in 2012. I am old enough to remember when Democrats celebrated the nomination of Reagan in 1980. Carter was going to wipe out "a has been B actor". Funny how that worked out...

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

31. What CalPeg said! ^^^^

[Renew Deal]

3. I think it will be Bush-Walker

[lutefisk]

16. I think you're right

I think he has been positioning himself (or at least his handlers have) for that all along. Just a heartbeat away- like Palin would have been.

[arcane1]

5. Well, I guess there's no point in voting.

[MFM008]

7. heres some xanax

The next republican president hasnt been born yet.

[kairos12]

13. And the last one wasn't really elected.

[Jamaal510]

11. He probably meant

to say that he wants to be a king someday, not president.

[Fuddnik]

14. "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people".

H. L. Mencken

[kairos12]

15. Is there a thread out there about why he didn't finish college?

[Blue_In_AK]

22. Alaska's former senator Mark Begich didn't finish college,

but he was helping his mother with the family business after his dad Rep. Nick Begich died in the mysterious plane crash with Hale Boggs. The R's here always made a big deal about his lack of a college education, but I think it was kind of noble of him to help out his mom, and it didn't seem to hurt his political career since he was Anchorage's youngest assembly member, a very successful two-term mayor, and a good senator who we'll probably regret losing.

Walker probably doesn't have as good an excuse.

[DonViejo]

27. Walker dropped out of Marquette University...

one semester before graduation. There are questions about why he left but, nothing has been proven (yet).

[Reter]

18. Is he more or less conservative than the others potentially running in the primary?

Like Bush, Cristie, Paul, Cruz, Santorm, Rubio, etc.? Somewhat in the middle of tat lineup?

[Thor_MN]

20. You would be better off asking how conservative the Koch brothers are.

Walker has no opinions of his own, he has sold them. The Koch's hands are so far up his ass that if they snap their fingers, his eyes become uncrossed for a second.

[lutefisk]

21. Yes- Walker is a liar for hire driven by pathological ambition...nt

[FSogol]

23. Game over man!

Bad language alert for the prudish:

Don't worry Chicken Little, some us are working to elect Democrats.

[CBHagman]

25. Given social media and myriad other factors, it's impossible to predict.

Unless you've perfected time travel, you don't know what the state of affairs in fall 2016 is going to be. There are too many unknowns -- world events, as yet undeclared rivalries, the Gaffe-O-Meter, and a lot more -- for anyone to predict.

[YOHABLO]

26. You have got to be kidding. When donkeys fly baby.

[Newest Reality]

29. If they ever made a

sequel to the movie, Idiocracy, I think that Scott Walker would be the perfect choice to play the new President. The movie would be picking up where the last one left off and the people would be starting to get a bit more educated and then, bang, Walker would be elected and take them all far beyond the stupidity they were once in. Hilarity ensues. I think it would be a hit.

Then, his wish could come true and we can get some real comedy, rather than the unintentional and embarrassing humor he is now providing. I am just wondering if he could do the part while listening to his Koch implant. He does not seem like much of a multitasker an the strain could be too much.
