Scott Walker of Wisconsin may be added to that loser’s list.
We don’t know yet. He’s running for re-election as Governor.
At the moment, it’s tied about 49% to 49%.
Scott served his main purpose years ago when he broke the power of the local Labor Unions and resisted being recalled.
Since then, he seems to have run out of steam.
Recall how quickly Walker gave up his presidential campaign back in 2015. Most politicians have a certain window of opportunity where they can almost do no wrong. Some clever one’s take full advantage of that moment. Others, such as Chris Christie and maybe Scotty Walker wait too long, then the window closes. Everything becomes harder once that golden moment has ended.

I don't think Walker ever really had a presidential window, or rather, when it was opened it revealed that he just wasn't presidential caliber. He took a courageous stand on an important issue and he won, which was great, but he wasn't a uniquely talented leader. An electorate is a fickle thing, especially in Wisconsin, which tends to be dominated by the liberals in Madison.
