Walker hits bump in ’16 race

Walker hits bump in ’16 race

"SNIP.......................



Nationally, Walker’s support peaked at 17.3 percent on April 1 and dropped to 12.3 percent on Wednesday, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.

He’s been overtaken by two candidates seeking to appeal to establishment-minded Republicans.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush now leads the field at 15.5 percent support, followed by Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.) at 14.3 percent.

GOP pollsters say Walker, who has not formally entered the race, excited Republicans earlier this year with his visit to Iowa. But they argue his support in polls could be soft.

He is a horrible person. I have no idea what happened in Wisconsin, but whatever happened there won't happen on a national stage, just in Red States. He really is horrible I have seen the look on people's faces (my family) when the see him talk for a few minutes, they are all like make it go away. He just oozes the sleeze.

3. Walker is currently in 1st place to get the 900 million Koch money. That can buy a lot of goodwill
