Scott Walker was interesting. Aside from Rand Paul he was the only Republican that seemed to have promise.
I relished the fact that he dropped out of college and still became prominent and had a successful career in politics. That speaks to a lot of Americans quite honestly in that he was closer to the rest of us than most of the other political hacks would ever be. I was going to love watching the progressives and hard core liberals attempt to attack him on his lack of college education. It would be entertaining.

Dear Scott Walker,
You decided that abortion for a rape/incest induced pregnancy or abortion to save a woman's life was wrong. In fact you have also stated you support a ban on all abortions.
That sir is where I decided you were going to be an "also ran" and that your political career would end in Wisconsin. That in 2015 an elected official can take such a polarizing view on that old litmus test topic is pretty stupid. I didn't want you to lie either, but part of me thinks you went extreme just to appease the base and that to me is offensive.
