Can't wait til Scott Walker loses reelection.
His race will be among the closest governor contests this year that's for sure. Right now it's dead-even. Either way I think the last year really damaged his hopes for a national campaign. He was my dark horse pick going back a year when it was obvious that Rubio would fade into irrelevance but Wisconsin is crumbling all around Walker and I'm not sure what convincing argument he could make unless he somehow breaks this race wide open.
The state's going to have a massive budget deficit moving forward thanks entirely to his policies, and it might even be at risk for the same thing that plagued Christie: constant downgrades. Walker will always be plagued by that ridiculous campaign promise of 250k jobs that he didn't even come close to, and wouldn't even if he was reelected. Even if he wins it will likely be by the narrowest of margins because he's so incredibly polarizing. The "I can win in a blue state" argument takes a big hit if you can only win by 4 points, and really has zero credibility when no one thinks you could even win your own state in a national election.
The Democrats would love to take him off the field this year but the damage may already be done even if he wins.
