"....Scott Walker as a political performer is pretty uninspiring. He doesn't have George Bush's pretzel-mouthed Texas charm or Sarah Palin's hockey Mom magnetism. He can't fall back on an ethnic American dream parable like the one Marco Rubio can run on. He's just a doughy, finger-pointing white guy of the type the Republican Party has been churning out to fill state assembly seats or run in back-bench congressional districts seemingly since the beginning of time. He's exactly the kind of politician the modern Democratic Party is set up to beat...."

Walker turned his state around and those numbers dont lie.
Then why is the left trying so hard to destroy him?
Smarmy, d-bag writer from RS thinks he’s all it...why is it that liberals NEVER grow up?
That would be the God that they don’t believe in.
Those “doughy white guys (and gals) have been filling state legislatures and governors seats!
Funny how that “Veteran for Peace” doesn’t look like he’s working for peace. Typical hypocritical leftist. Believes he’s morally superior because he is “for peace” all while he himself is inciting rage and fomenting hatred. Yeah.
I guess Rolling Stone ran out of fake rape stories to run.
What you see is what you get.
How about greedy morons lacking any sense of economic principles?
This bastards the same one who said he was glad Andrew Breitbart was dead!! EF him!!!
It’s not hard to see how the Democrats will go after Walker; play up his anti-unionism in states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan and use his campaigns against teachers, his cutting the Wisconsin university budget and even his lack of a degree as evidence he’s anti-education in the rest of the country. But I don’t think that Walker will be the pushover they seem to think he’ll be. Assuming he gets the nomination to begin with; there’s a way to go before the convention in 2016.
Aren't gay hipsters cute?
Not to mention the ones who are black and Hispanic “doughy white guys!”
LOL
Feels weird talking about white and black and Hispanic - women, men, etc like the Left does.
Yuck. They’re such dividers.
Yep. Matt Taibbi is a real piece of crap.
He is far and away better than Jeb Bush who had to use the crutch of Faux News’ Hannity at the Republican Conference.
It was like Hannity was playing the only debate moderator for Jebs’ presidential run. Faux News is running scared of Scott Walker or ANY real Conservative.
Anti-Union?
I like him EVEN MORE!
Scott Walker is comfortable in his own skin and he’s getting better with every appearance.
No Democrat or MSM type would ever say such a thing about a Republican unless they were afraid of him. Rolling Stone wants the Republicans to lose badly and their opinions reflect that fact.
In case you are too young too remember this is almost exactly the kind of rhetoric they used against Ronald Reagan. Reagan was supposed to be easy for the Democrats to beat. The Republicans needed to nominate a liberal or a moderate if they were to have a chance to win.
And Republicans picked Gerald Ford over Reagan in 1976 and very nearly picked another liberal in 1980 until Reagan sacked his professional campaign people and took over for himself.
Scott Walker is looking better and better.
Matt Taibbi is bored and at it again trying to give floundering fringe lunatic liberals a ray of hope.
