I do hate myself, but it has nothing to do with being Jewish.

I guess the educational system wasn't that great if you ended up with a state full of republicans

It was really just UW-Madison that has (had, given the budget cuts, rising tuition, professors leaving, etc.) the reputation, other schools in the UW system have one or two good individual programs (e.g. UWM (Milwaukee, not Madison) has a good architecture program, and some art stuff, but little else that's highly ranked) but suck balls otherwise.

true but I refuse to believe that enough people hated him that badly because they couldn't be bothered to vote against him. How do you win after people dislike you so badly that there was a recall election?

The other reasons listed (aside from the Robert Burke bullshit, that's nonsense, he only got 0.8% and Mary lost by almost 6 points), as well as the fact that you have suburb-dense counties like Waukesha (which is one of the more populous counties in WI) that have such a hardon for Republicans they haven't voted for a Democrat since 1964. Romney won Waukesha by 32.2% in 2012, and McCain won it by 25.7% in 2008. They voted for Walker's re-election 72.5% to 26.8% for Burke.

Could there be a worse time to lose your hair? Will America elect a balding president? Is this truly the worst combover in existence?

Mark Dayton raised taxes on rich folks, took Medicaid money, and did cool poo poo like setup a state insurance exchange, raise the minwage, and make gay marriage mandatory, increase education funding, fund all day K, and he produced a fuckton of budget surplus. Hail Dayton!

Minnesota has so much cash we're gonna give a bunch of it to some loving fish. Welfare Walleyes, amirite?

Walker, meanwhile, has done basically the reverse and his state budget is utterly hosed. If you're supposed to run a state like a business, then he's like the Carly Fiorina of governors.

The bald spot, he said, was the result of a repair incident in the kitchen when he banged his head on an open kitchen cabinet door while making repairs requested by his wife, Tonette.

She kept telling him to go to the doctor to get the scar on his head looked at, he said. When he finally did, the doctor said his hair would never grow back in that spot, the governor explained.
That head wound must have been a doozy. He looks like he got scalped by injuns.

Jesus Christ, even with Trump's already-infamous run still going, that "I hit my head in the kitchen" excuse for a bald spot must be the single most ridiculous thing any of the candidates has said in this entire election cycle so far. At least Trump just goes ahead and wears his combover with pride. Or hides it under a baseball cap or whatever.

Legal filings from his divorce case revealed he had some surgical procedure where the skin in the middle scalp was removed, scrunching the rest of his hairy scalp together and closing the bald spot.
Probably other things too, he is an enigma

I've only lived in Wisconsin for a year and a half so I feel like I'm not allowed to hate Scott Walker with the same level of vitriol as a native Wisconsinite, but drat it, the dude's just a disgusting human being.

It doesn't help that I work with a guy who is apparently family friends with Walker and who talks about him all the drat time.

same, but New Jersey, half a year, and Chris Christie

who recently, and inhumanly, said, "Do you think that Planned Parenthood should be able to use federal funding to kill children in the womb in a specific way so that they can maximize the value of body parts that they then sell on the open market for profit?" because he is, literally, a monster. I want him to live the rest of his days in sorrow and regret, dying sooner rather than later, his last thoughts on how disappointing a person he was to his family and to God

Lol two twenty-something climate activists tricked the man who wants to lead the free world with a cardboard sign.

So he's doing a little event at a pizza shop and they ask to pose with him. The other side of the sign says "Walker 4 President," they flip it around when the photo is about to be taken to reveal the novelty check. $900 million is the amount of their own fortune the Kochs vowed to spend on the 2016 elections.
