Republican governor Scott Walker has decided to cram himself into the over-crowded GOP clown car. Right now, Walker is one of the least popular governors in America. He was under investigation by the FBI. And hes crippled the education system in his state. But still, he thinks the Koch brothers will have enough power to put him in the White House.
Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and Ruth Conniff from The Progressive discuss what a Walker presidency could mean.

(2,065 posts)If Koch money can deceive and manipulate enough people to vote for this sociopathic political criminal that is Scoot Walker, then there is virtually nobody who they cannot get into the White House. By all objective measures, when it comes to governing fairly and wisely, Scott Walker has been an abysmal failure, a one man wrecking crew for the late great state of Wisconsin.
