On Scott Walker

[0rganism]

45. he's as dangerous a ratfucker as ever walked the planet

look what he's done to Wisconsin, and the people there (who aren't all slackjawed conservative yokels) elected him THREE TIMES in four years. Koch connections aside, he knows how to win in a swing state.

when you factor in the Koch money bomb, he's going to have an excellent run in the primary as their favorite. it won't make as much difference in the general (Kochs always drop a huge GOP gift on the nominee anyway) but he's got the backing to stick out the primary to the end, and a personality that wins with conservatives.

speaking of which, he's that rare bird who's genuinely committed to both economic and social conservatism. he comes across as a 100% True Believer, and that sells both candidates and policies (due to our whore media bending over backwards to give counterfactual republican ideals a lion's share of the airtime -- the same reason his criminal connections won't be covered)

i get the vibe that he's a lot shrewder than he lets himself appear on camera -- he comes off kind of dull and slow, but conservatives seem to like that. he can flaunt his lack of a college education -- again, a big winning point with anti-education republicans. some people look at his hand and see a bunch of low cards; i see a guy who's biding his time, drawing for a straight flush.

watch out for Walker - he's like Trump, but not as obviously ridiculous, and very very electable.
