Scott Walker is barely seen, heard in second Republican debate
Source: madison.com
... Walker ... spoke the least of the 11 candidates who shared the stage.
Throughout the three-hour debate, Walker spoke for eight minutes and 29 seconds, falling into the bottom three with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Ohio Gov. John Kasich. To compare, Walker spoke for five minutes and 51 seconds in the two-hour Fox News debate, placing him in the bottom two for speaking time.

While Walker has pledged to terminate the Iran deal "on day one" in the Oval Office, Bush argued, "it's not a strategy to tear up an agreement."
...
As the debate wore on, Walker, like most candidates onstage, fell victim to the heat. His brow seemed to glisten more with each pan of the camera, and the camera's gaze seemed to elude him more and more throughout the night ... In the days leading up to the debate, Walker's national poll numbers had plummeted to 3 percent, from double digits last month.

There has been a ton of post-debate coverage of Walker, and it is NOT good for the Walker campaign:
Amid dropping poll numbers, Scott Walker will retreat to focus on Iowa: "GOP presidential candidate Scott Walker -- who has tumbled from top-tier status amid tepid debate performances and other missteps -- will pull back from other early-voting states" as he "also faces growing pressure from some financial backers to make staffing changes in an attempt to turn around his campaign."
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker failed to deliver in GOP debate, analysts say:
The reviews of the second Republican presidential debate are in, and they’re not good for Gov. Scott Walker.
A Washington Post columnist dubbed him one of the biggest losers among the 11-candidate field in the prime-time Wednesday faceoff.
Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia said Walker “made the least of his time.”
Politico suggested his candidacy is now “on life support.”
Scott Walker tries to reassure nervous donors: "Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and his team are working hard to calm their major donors — some of whom are worried that Walker is on a downward slide and did little to help his campaign in Wednesday night's debate."
Things are looking grim for the Walker campaign (and I couldn't be happier about that).
