"... in the debates, the Wisconsin cheesehead came off like a thin slice of Swiss cheese with one too many gaping holes." And no Swiss cheese taste either.

*  He was a one trick pony. With a lame pony at that.
*  Walket has been a disaster for his home state of Wisconsin. Thank goodness that disaster will be contained there and wont spread to the rest of America.
*  Funny how karma catches up when you govern with contempt for workers and the poor.
*  Another tough week for right wingers .    Walker was obviously not ready for prime time.  409 more days of this nonsense.
*  Now the Walker Wall, which would have saved us from hordes of raging Eskimos, will never be built.

Scott Walker fell out of Koch brothers' grace, then race: Darcy cartoon

Scott Walker sat on an immigration wall. Scott Walker had a great fall. And all the Koch brothers' dollars wouldn't put poor Scott Walker's campaign back together again.

After going from being the front-runner to being a candidate for the next "Not So Happy Hour Debate," Scott Walker announced Monday that he was suspending his campaign, stating:

"Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping to clear the race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top of the field. With that in mind, I will suspend my campaign immediately.

I encourage other Republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same so the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current front-runner."

That sounds far more noble than saying, "I'm dropping out because I've run out of money after falling out of favor with the Koch brothers, flip-flopping, making embarrassing gaffes and being a bore in the year of boorishness"

Back in April, David Koch was predicting Scott Walker would be the Republican party's nominee and receive he and his brother's backing.

The New York Times had reported that while speaking at a fundraiser for the state of New York Republican party, David Koch said, " When the primaries are over and Scott Walker gets the nomination" he and his brother would be supporting him.

Walker is anti-union and was at the time pro-immigration reform. Two positions that fit perfectly with the Koch brothers Libertarian agenda.

But Walker reportedly fell out of favor with the billionaire brothers when he flip-flopped on immigration, including  trying to out-trump Donald Trump by calling for a wall to be built on the Canadian border. 

Had Walker not walked himself into the Koch brothers' dog house, he might have had a storm shelter flush with money to weather the Trump tornado, like Jeb Bush has been able to do with his campaign war chest.

Gaffes, like saying Reagan's greatest foreign policy achievement was his victory over the National Air Traffic Controllers union, also sent Walker's campaign crashing to the ground.

Topping it all off, in the debates, the Wisconsin cheesehead came off like a thin slice of Swiss cheese with one too many gaping holes.

Marco Rubio and John Kasich will likely divvy up the remaining crumbs of Walker's cheese in the race to be the alternative to Trump.
