It’s just too bad we’ll never know the degree to which Walker was so damaged by that “$2.2 billion dollar deficit” BS from Trump. I’d rather the guy lost on his own merits and failings, for example, his waffling over illegal immigration.
“we’ll never know the degree to which Walker was so damaged by that “$2.2 billion dollar deficit” BS from Trump.”
I seriously doubt that was a factor. Walker performed very poorly in both debates, and he flip-flopped repeatedly on crucial issues like illegal immigration, and he got trapped by the press into making ridiculous statements about a Canadian Wall, you know, to stop those millions of Canucks that sneak into the U.S. every year.
Having written that, Walker was my choice for many moons, but it didn't work out. His accomplishments are jaw dropping, his intestinal fortitude has been tested and is certified tough as nails, but for some reason, it did not transfer to a national audience.
I think there are going to be a lot of political science papers written about his campaign and what went wrong.
A number of people have wondered where his supporters will go. Well, the latest poll has him at one half percent, so his supporters have already scattered - there's not much left.
