Scott Walker: Actually Rather Intimidated

Scott Walker: Actually Rather Intimidated

"While Scott Walker was Milwaukee County Executive and then as Governor of Wisconsin, he has enjoyed the privilege of being treated with kid gloves by the corporate media. Even as he was the subject of two separate John Doe investigations into various scandalous activities, the media would often minimize or even ignore his involvement into the skulduggery.

It was only when he left this bubble to run for president that Walker started to be challenged on things. Showing that he is not ready for prime time, Walker has been quite the gaffe machine, including things like:

Getting called out by other right wingers on his lousy job numbers

Punting on a question about evolution

Being unable and/or unwilling to discuss foreign policy

Refusing to say that President Obama loves America

Refusing to say that President Obama is a Christian

Comparing Wisconsin protesters to ISIS terrorists and claiming that this made him qualified to deal with the terrorists

Walker has become quite flustered with the realization that he is going to have to know things, be able to answer questions that don't necessarily follow his script and - worst of all - tell the truth (or a reasonable facsimile thereof)."
