Marco Rubio met with more than a dozen of Scott Walker’s former top fundraisers Wednesday, as several of the Wisconsin governor’s donors plan to back the Florida senator’s presidential campaign.

The session, in New York, included financial-services executives Jonathan Burkan and Eric Anton, who organized Mr. Walker’s New York fundraisers, and Bill Johnson, a Wisconsin timber magnate who is the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s finance chairman.

Mr. Burkan called Mr. Rubio “a fresh, exciting candidate who represents the future of the Republican Party.”

3. When I hear the word Walker.

I think of the Zombies from the Walking Dead. They are known as "Walkers". They are brain dead like Walker donors.

2. Rubio is probably the guy they'll nominate. He's as close to their version of Obama as possible.
