41. What exactly is the big deal about this goofy-looking halfwit?

Despite not going red in a Presidential election since 1984, three of Wisconsin's last four governors have been Republicans. Tommy fucking Thompson was governor for 14 YEARS! Did anyone take that goofball seriously as a presidential candidate?

So Wisconsin doesn't seem to be as blue as a lot of people think which makes Walker's victories a lot less impressive in retrospect. So why all the excitement from wingnuts about this clown? I simply don't see it.

I don't think Walker necessarily delivers Wisconsin, as either the candidate or the running-mate. StevieM Feb 2015 #35

Both will factor into the GOP electoral math. MohRokTah Feb 2015 #36
