Here's why I think Walker is more dangerous than JEB:
JEB's fine with the Big Money guys, but his problem is that he's not quite wacko enough for the Tea Party. Immigration, for one thing.
Walker, on the other hand, sucks in the rubes, rednecks and other assorted semiliterates in the population. They LOVED the way he beat down the teachers & state employees.
A vote for Walker was a vote of revenge against all those teachers who had tormented them all those years ago.
A vote for Walker was a chance to give all those wiseass state bureaucrats a comeuppance--especially that shitty Drivers License Examiner that just flunked my kid….
Oh, something new. A republican who is against education. A repubkican for stupid people. A republikkkan who never finished college! Oh Noes!

1. His base absolutely loves Squatty Wanker. As I said elsewhere ...
They love that he dropped all those parasites from Medicaid ...
They love that he took money out of the pockets of those lazy K-12 teachers ...
They love that he pushed through concealed carry laws ...
They love that he punished those who dared join a union ...
They love that he wants to make all those receiving government assistance take drug tests ...
They love that his staff makes jokes about minorities and the disabled ...
They love that it's obvious he hates blacks, hispanics and gays ...
They love that he's clever enough to make sure none of his shit sticks to him.
oh look, He's racist too.

3. Walker is going to be the young dim idiot foisted on the top spot while Jeb will be the Cheney-equse asswipe behind the scenes. This should sound familiar to everyone. The Kochs are returning to what worked in the past. Why is Walker so dangerous? Because many on the left help the Koch memes along. Look at the posts on DU bashing the Democrats for have an age problem
Moles and Trolls and Bears, oh my...

4. I will agree that Walker has a lot less baggage, but I don't think the Koch Crime Family is ready to unseat the Bush Crime Family. Just sayin' I bet Karl is working full time to undermine Walker.
oh, the BCF and the KCF (yum... chicken) yadda yadda yadda...

6. On the political right...the mainstream big money centrist is OK with Democrats! Jeb would be best for the left. Would the right say this about our mainstream big money centrist candidate? At least Hillary is better than Liz or Bernie? I don't recall ever hearing that, but I don't know anything about
Republican Underground. I absolutely agree with JR, and
we are much more analytic and sophisticated about our politics, but Republicans keep it simple -- all Democrats bad. All. I long for the day that message doesn't work!

7. There is no one more dangerous than Jeb. No one. The BFEE has the deepest pockets and they know where all the skeletons are buried. The Kochs may want to put their man in the WH, but they may not be up for the fight. I'm sure daddy Bush built an entire filing system just on them. The Bushes have been in politics for far too long to not be able to outmanouver Koch Bros. They are just lying in wait. There is no one more dangerous than Jeb because he's a Bush. The favorite Bush at that.
The leftists see enemies everywhere but fail to see the real enemy right in front of their faces.
