24. Scott Walker has a long history of dirty, sleezy politics - starting when he was in college

Walker ran for student body president when he was at Marquette University, but he was caught violating campaign rules. The student newspaper, which had previously been neutral, ran an editorial saying that Walker was “unfit” for office after finding Walker’s campaign guilty of “mudslinging,” and after reports that his campaign was throwing out copies of the paper that contained information damaging to Walker.

Walker dropped out of college after 3 and a half years. I've always wondered why he wouldn't have finished if he only had one semester left to get his degree.
